I ran some benchmarks using TRAOD v49
First set is at 640x480@16bpp PS off
NoSound:333fps
Mystique
DDLoff: 177fps
DDLon: 166fps
OnboardNVaudio@2.1: 171fps
OnboardNVaudio@5.1: 167fps
Audigy2
EAX2: 195fps
EAX4: 192fps
Next Set is 1280x1024@32bpp PS2.0 defaults
NoSound: 146fps
Mystique
DDLon: 107fps
OnboardNV@5.1: 109fps
Audigy2 EAX2: 128fps
and finally 1280x1024@32bpp PS2.0 and 8XS AA/16AF/HQ (16XAA failed to run)
NoSound: 106fps
Mystique
DDLon: 100fps
OnboardNV@5.1: 101fps
Audigy2 EAX2: 105fps
From these results it is clear that DDL comes at a price, The Audigy2 is clearly the performance leader, which is no suprise since the Audigy2 was made by those that made EAX (Creative).. but on the other hand, the feature that you gain from the DDL IMHO is worth it..
i think too many times we get sucked into performance numbers and not enough into the sound quality (lets face it, PC sound innovations are sevierly lagging behind the rest of the PC tech)..
just some info about my system
evga 6800GT SLI @ stock speeds
AMD64 3500+
A8N-SLI
1.4Gb DDR400
all 3 sound cards + latest drivers are running along side each other, for this test i didn't remove cards... performance may increase with only 1 soundcard installed (although i don't really see it changing that much)..
