Sir_Siddy Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Just wondering about this but wich would be better. Software acceleration or hardware acceleration for sound? There is an option in battlefield 2 wich allows for hardware acceleration. Would this be good for better game performance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aluvus Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 If you have a Creative X-Fi sound card, hardware.Otherwise I don't think it matters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDoors Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'd go with hardware. Software adds a layer of complexity. However, if your hardware isn't up to snuff (you notice a performance hit) obviously go with software. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
