A sound card today just acts as an improved DAC and possibly headphone amp, with its own software suite. The days of hardware accelerated sound is pretty much over (although at least two 2017 games do support it but current day sound cards do not even support it), therefore today's sound cards no longer offer UNIQUE benefit for gaming. External DACs and amps can provide better quality and virtual surround can be obtained via external solutions or free software like Razer Surround.

RhamnetinI totally agree on what you have said, But I have personally experienced an enhanced gaming experience having external sound card on. So yeah, it depends on games to games but whatever you said is also true External DACs and amps provide better sound quality.
