Realtek ALC-892 or SB Audigy 2 zs

[sinkacy]

Hey im currently upgrading my rig and changing mobo to ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3 which has Realtek ALC892 chipset. But I also have Soundblaster Audigy 2 zs which is quite an old card. I'm not really up-to-date when it comes to sound cards so I'm asking for advice. The card is gonna be used moslty for gaming but of course music quality is important too.

Thanks!

The Audigy 2 zs will most definitely give you better sound fidelity than the onboard realtek chip. No doubt about it.

Alright I will go with Audigy then, thank you very much ^^

I would also suggest hitting the Daniel K drivers - they give older Creative cards a welcomed boost ^^
