DarrylGWould I need an amp for this if I drove this from my mobo? I have an ASUS B350F. C/P: ROG SupremeFX 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC S1220A
- Dual Headphone Amplifiers

Would I be able to tell where noises are coming from in game?
CommonSenseUsedI don't know how much power those amps put out, so it's hard to say for sure, but I would think they'd be able power the headphones to at least a reasonably good volume level. As for your second question, I'm not a gamer, but hopefully someone who is will chime in.
