I'll be making the Killer NIC dedicated only to gaming traffic to make use of the TCP no delay and TCP ACK 1 and UDP benefit (minor at best, I know). I went for using both my Realtek NIC and Killer NIC at the same time. Ok, I just did something a bit wild and out of my league. In general its impossible to notice a difference over normal onboard NIC, and in competetive gaming you would not download stuff while play a game. no benchmarks to measure it, i had to develop my own method. In general there is quite good and easy manageability over network operations with Killler NICs, and its set to give games higher priority, so you would not lag your game while playing a youtube video for example. I simply believe that not only gaming market should not be a target for this product. Intel NIC was cheaper at that time.Īs a benefit I checked upon the Killer NIC management sofware and managed to use it for better internet-security. The difference between the cards whas just in support for different set of features (mainly bandwidth controller on Killer VS PXE/Bios features on Intel) and of course the price tag. In general you can devvelop an app running on the card, while you can have a control panel running in windows to control it.Ĭlick to expand.I got 10% increase in "Actions per minute" in online game client-server communication with custom benchmark macro, when compared to onboard NIC.īut its fair to say that dedicated Intel NIC had same percentual increase over onboard NIC. SDK was withdrawn from original Bigfoot website, support for development on new apps halted. No support for sound output/input, no support for USB connectivity. Some of the solutions however ,were taking too much of card processor time, so the primal feature of acting as a network card was hindered. Torrent client (storing data to USB drive connected to Xeno), Mumble client with hardware acceleration, a firewall, but most of them ended up unfinished.

Thats exactly how the management software for this card works. Originally there was a SDK for this card to develop new applications of it, while the backend will run on the card, and user (on main system) will see the front-end. The account however was not root so I had only limited access to things inside of the card.

In one of the drivers to this device by EVGA i found a login and a password and an IP leading direclty inside of this computer, and I managed to connect inside from windows via Putty. In general the card(s) is an ARM based computer, with linux (i believe Debian).
I also forgot to mention some of the capabilities.
