Gaming News - August 2006
New York, NY (August 31, 2006) - Bigfoot Networks today announced it has
begun shipping its Killer Network Interface Card (NIC).
From Codemasters:
The Killer NIC is the
first network card specifically designed to improve performance for online
gamers who demand less Ping (latency) and more Frames Per Second.
The Killer improves gaming performance through its patent-pending Hardware
Network Stack that bypasses the host operating system’s networking stack
completely. Online gaming enthusiasts will gain a significant competitive
advantage through the Killer NIC’s ability to reduce and control Ping times
while increasing Frames Per Second (FPS).
The Killer NIC has shown impressive performance improvements on CounterStrike,
F.E.A.R., and World of Warcraft. For example, results have shown an average of
7 milliseconds (ms) of Ping improvement in CounterStrike: Source, and an FPS
improvement of approximately 8 percent. World of Warcraft shows an average of
10 ms of Ping improvement and 7 percent improvements in FPS. For more
performance details, please see the performance specs on KillerNIC.com:
