Is the on board sound on the 680i SLI (A1 revision), direct x combatible?  Will it work with the latest games?  I dont care that much about super sound quality, but I always assumed you had to have  a  soundcard to play the latest games.  But reading some of the other posts, it seems that on board sound has come a long way.  Is anyone with that board using onboard sound with your games?  Is it direct x combativle?  Im using Vista, if that matters...

Using onboard sound won't stop you from using graphics from any DX series including DX-10.
 
You can play the latest games without a soundcard.
 
Using a sound card simply gives you a better audio experience and helps free some resources from the CPU, enhancing framerate in some cases.

Thanks for the reply.  I know it sounded like a stupid question, but I was reading the back of Bioshock.  The minimum system requirments read: 

" ... sound card: 100% direct X 9.0c commmmpatible sound card ..."

That's what got me thinking about lack of a sound card...
