I have noticed a significant amount of lag in BF:BC2 when there's alot of explosions, gunfire, and/or alarms going off simultaneously. I am playing on med. sound settings in game. I am currently using onboard sound on my ABIT IP35-Pro which uses a Realtek ALC888. Being that I am only seeing the lag when theres alot of sound involved I was wondering if getting an add-in soundcard would help with my issues. I hover between 40 and 60 fps during most of the game. If it is sound can anyone suggest a sub $100 card that they've noticed made an in game difference?
