I haven't been more into games that are managed by servers as every month goes by. However, due to matchmaking lobbies and different networks of servers they are becoming more difficult to prioritize. After spending years squeezing as much performance out of my router as I can and still seeing 100+ ms on my LoL Client which troubles me sometimes, should I turn to a gaming NIC card?
I have seen some neat examples of the NIC tech at work, however I also am aware that much of it can be done thru port forwarding as well as pretty much anything else I've done on my router related to prioritization. Therefore, I do not really know what else seems to define it so differently in function except for the claims I see behind each one.
So the question is will an NIC card really benefit me more than a router could?
