Voska, reading your post made my day! :lol:

Seriously, though... upgrading your NIC is NOT going to shave a 120ms ping time down to 10ms or something absurd like that. NICs are not the bottleneck on WAN connections.

EnFoRceR is right. Ping time has more to do with network hops/traffic.

Anyway, I think the best part is how Killer NIC is marketing this piece of crap. With their "tired of being on the wrong end of the baggin'?" ads online. It's sad that they are actually suckering poor consumers into buying a "Killer NIC" by making them think they are suddenly going to rock it up in online games.

Maybe they can give it AI a internet roadmap and future seeking traffic jam reports then it will do what its suppose to.

yeah but seriously though. Even if it took away 25% of your ping is it really worth $300 for that? MAYBE if it could cut down 50% or more i could see it but the price is way wrong. I do love that it can run programs on board its defanitly something i want to get just NOT going to pay that price. $100 would be max for me.
