It depends on the computer, and where your card is inside it in relation to
other components.

To give an example, my RME HDSP9632, when sitting right next to my video
card, would pick up interference.  I put it there because that was the only
PCI slot I had.  I then moved it to a PCI-X slot as far away from the video
card as I could, and I no longer get any audible interference.

How much interference, depends on placement of the card, placement of other
objects in the computer, quality of components and design of the card(How
well it protects it signal path), and a few other factors I probably know
nothing about;)
