VisionTek Announces Killer 2100 HD 5770 Combo Graphics-Network Card

Alittle too late with the 5770?

If its not too problematic, can you post some screens between regular lan port and this?

Bundy said:
Can you really do a test for us like Fourstaff asks? Get up your command console and type> tracert techpowerup.com. What is the time between your rig and your router/modem as compared to total time? I'm using onboard and get 1ms, can't see how a faster NIC will help. I also don't get lag on BFBC2 unless I connect to a server on the other side of the world.

The killer nics are made to offload as much CPU usage as possible when gaming. A ping test to a server isn't really going to show the benefits of the nic. Running a game and recording fps and latency is the only real way to see if it helps at all. From what I've seen, it does improve fps and reduce latency, but it's marginal.

I did a quick speed test in the "Your PC ATM" thread.

The post starts on page 581 so go there for more info, and continues on page 582, and explains why the time stamps are off.

As for doing some more um substantial tests, I wouldn't mind doing that, perhaps even write a review, but it won't be until this weekend, as I am rather swamped at work ATM (also getting over a rather nasty case of strep throat), so if y'all don't mind waiting I would be glad to.

Good for people who have bad internets then.

The benefits are hard to test. In wow spell recharging icons update faster with it for example. Hard to put that into numbers. I think the windows network stack is just really terrible, more bypassing the better. Personally I just enjoy the bandwidth control and monitoring aspects.

I love it when my NIC dies and I have to buy a new video card.

I read through your other thread and noticed something I didn't think possible, you got a ping of 23ms between San Diego and Auckland.... :confused:

that is very fast.

It would be great of you could post tracert reports.

These cards basicly do traffic shaping, traffic control and QoS

this makes your latency in games a little lower then a normal Nic card, but it cannot lower your physical ping from your modem towards your end point. I think TPU and Tomshardware tested this card out, its more something fancy on the 5770, instead of the standard AMD reference-card(s) out there.

and it only really helps there if you're the only PC on your internet connection, it sure cant help if someone else on your LAN is hogging your bandwidth

craigo · Dec 3, 2010

Wow,
If amd,Nvidia and third parties continue this trend
how long until we have motherboards consisting of nothing but an io hub and pcie slots
I mean first audio then offloading cpu load now the nic... and yet people pay 600 for a top shelf mainboard then nice cpu then bypass thier main components with addon cards...Ridiculous times.

WarEagleAU · Dec 3, 2010

I actually think this is a pretty nifty and cool idea. Not liking how it takes away the dip on it though but I think it could work in OEM builds and what not.

pantherx12 · Dec 3, 2010

I'll stick with my gigabyte lan thanks.

What I think these guys have failed to see is, the people they're aiming this card at ( mid-range gamers) are probably fine gaming over WIFI D: .

cool, gigabyte lan? can i have some? mines only gigabit

Delta6326 · Dec 3, 2010

^ same here.

This would be cool if it was on a new card say 6870 i have tons of lag with my internet.

No 8 gigabit connections are for me only! :laugh:

I would much prefer the return of the All in Wonder video cards, as long as they were decent.
