Killer NIC (http://www.killernic.com/KillerNic/)
-
Did you get one of those? Let us know how it works. It seems like AH might actually benefit from one of those.
-
I don’t expect to see any eye watering results from the card but I do hope to see a smoothing effect in the game play. And if I get a few more FPS’s all the better.
As soon as I get the KillerNIC delivered, installed, and running I’ll post my impressions of it to you.

I just finally got broadband this week after years of fighting with the cable co to run lines down my road . I read a ton of reviews on this nic to see if it was worth the money over my nforce4 gigabit nic . From the numbers ive seen fps may increase 1-3 fps on some games , on others they are even or at sometimes worse . Ping times are generally the same or 1-2ms better . The biggest advantage was in World of Warcraft and fear , were ping was better by 10-15 ms . FPS were basically the same in those two games.
Good review .

I thought about maybe getting one of these cards sometime, but now I'll never get one. killer nic is running an ad on hardocp... It basically says if you think torturing and killing animals is fun, you're the kind of person who should own one of those nics.
That's not me and I don't want to be associated with people who do think it's fun to torture and kill animals. I guess that means hardocp and killer nic are out.
-
I have to agree about that ad on their sight. I hadn’t noticed it before. It’s disgusting.

I asked the hardocp site owner about it... He sent me a link to a barbie site, said it might be more my speed :)
I figure I'll just quit reading [H]... too bad, it's a nice site.
-
I don't want to go political correct crap here but I have to agree with you on this Eagl. Common Sense would dictate that some fool like the owner of that site would think running an ad like that would be detrimental to his site. However it goes even further than that with the company that did the ad and then the manufacturer approving the ad needing to use some Common Sense.
-
I agree. The owner of hardocp doesn't exactly like being told what to do with his site especially involving a revenue stream for a free site, so I just deleted the hardocp link from my shortcuts. It's too bad because their site has the best review system around in my opinion, but it comes down to this:
I do not want to be associated in any way with people who think torturing and killing small animals is cool.
Based on the ad's portrayal of killing seagulls in an extremely painful fashion, that means killer nic and hardocp. "Think torturing animals is cool? Then visit hardocp and buy a killer nic!"
Sick.
-
Ok, where is the link to this ad that seems to have all your panties in a bunch?
-
If I tell you, you'll visit the site and add more traffic, maybe even become a reader and buy one of those $250 ethernet cards :)
Besides, I'm not wearing panties you stud.
-
now what they dont tell you is your still limited by your upload speed set by ur isp .... Hoowwwwwwwl oops I mean Baaaaaaaaa Baaaaaaaaaaa !

LMAO
Been to the hardocp site if thats where its s'possed to be at.
Didnt see it there
-
Yea it's at hardocp... It's the ad in the center of the page about 2 news articles from the top. It cycles through with club-it ads so it won't be there every time.
-
Gimmick.
-
I'm offended by political correctness. I went out & kicked a puppy because I was so offended.
-
When it comes to lag, ping times and such the problem lies in the nature of the net and not the NIC.
Never the less I would like to know Skuzzy's opinion on this thing...

Wow i missed that... Oh well the world is full of d!#$heads.

Not his fault adds there. Not supporting it or anything but if its self if its something like other addy scripts it takes bits of text and pulls up adds that way. Sure hes saying it pays the bills screw it.. Up to him really if he belives it will hurt profit he'll take it down.
