I currently have a Hercules Fortissimo II, but was thinking of upgrading. Which of these three cards uses less CPU during gaming, and how big is the difference?

the cpu usage due to the sounds card is VERY small, the audigy 2 uses nothing at all. but even with a TBSC, you may drop 1 or 2 frames

same, sounds cards take away very few frames. it is to the point that it is unnoticable and doesnt even matter
