Killer 2100 NIC vs Onboard Bandwidth Test (B) - BoxeoUnboxings

[shroomze]

DDOS to the loop back address see who fails first...

[Thorinbur]

You cant call that viabe result, based on 2 tests espetialy if difference between tests for individual adapters were higher than between the adapters themselve meaning network was unstable, either your PC or test server. You test resuls are really useless. Maybe if you did like 100 of them in lets say series of 10 alternating adapters than you could make some assumptions.

[BoxeoP4P]

@Thorinbur If it helps, I did the test multiple times off camera. 100 times though? nope didn't do close to that many tests. Same results.

[Thorinbur]

@BoxeoP4P I saw few other tesst and in al of them Killer was loosing so i believe you may be right. Just saying that presented tests cannot be base for such claim. I agree 100 test are quite a lot, but to make statement you need to test more, but what is clear is Killer NIC is not super gamechanging adapter that will boost your network and allow you to own in online games. So work on your refexes folks, Money wont buy you super reaction time :)

[BoxeoP4P]

@Thornburg agreed ;)...Skills pay the bill!

@Thorinbur your missing the point of the killer net 2100 the card is not about getting the faster internet connection. is about maintaining the speed and making the game code lighter and faster to transfer and sync with other player faster while giving you priority in the network let say someone else got connected to your network the onboard connection will divide the 20megabit living you 10megabits then your game will start freezing, with the killer net you will have 20m always.

[Keysforge]

This card have one very original and argument in the background for convince some people, OS on board and more shitty but is a complete SCAM, I had three different models and all are the same crap, trust me Im an online player and I have better ping with the on board build network card.

[Serpent966]

OMG soooo unnecessary!

you can cange all the settings on the regedit !!!!!!!!

there are only 3things you should change !!!

ja jebie. Co za pajac porównuje karty sieciowe gigabitowe w dodaku za pomocą gównianej aplikacji we flashU!?!?!

[mediarocker543]

I'm not sure... but I think normal web based apps perform normally because they don't bypass the windows interface unlike games...

[XxMEVANSxX]

The onboard speed test isn't really different, it could be that the load on the test server was lower and thats why you had higer speeds.

The best way to test this network card is to do a local speed test with a network bench marking utility

@XxMEVANSxX Truth

[shogrran]

Could it be that the Killer nic is limiting the "internet" for your browser since its not a game? Maybe that's how it works, limiting the access of non games on your bandwidth allowing your game to access more? I'm just a noob theorizing, but that's the only logical thing I can think of, since there is no way it can magically produce more bandwidth.

[RATSHADY]

I use windstream and in ga they only have 6mbps.sad!

[esesmokeybear]

nice i got mine running at 45 mb/s

[billj214]

Just FYI, my comparison between integrated NIC (Realtek) and my new Intel Gigabit CT adapter (PCIe) shows a large difference in terms of speed. The Intel NIC averaged 55 mb/s and the Realtek was about 33 mb/s, both had comparable  pings at 25.

[madofmygoddess]

Don't forget its a game network card.. so it reserve a part of the brandwidth for games.

You can set up your network card settup in the registry.

[IRoflWaffleI]

that fucking song god damn it

[idontknowwhatnicktou]

the ping is the same. i don't think throughput is really important for gaming

[TheLuminousty]

This Does It To Mine Too. The Killer 2100 is slower than my onboard.

[T1DoDo]

gg



[Damowhite123]

I guess... i'm not going to buy one of these..... i have a 10mb download and 1mb upload :)

[XxJeNNeexX]

i got 56 mbits with my killer 2100 better then my onboard ( sabertooth p67 )

[Melodicfuckingmetal]

i have 1mb upload speed with 4 mb download speed xD

[Gemanite55]

This video seems to show a fundamental misunderstanding of what the card is supposed to do. Slowing down your browser is what it is -supposed- to do so that the remaining bandwidth can be used for games. Depending on the priority given to the browser it will run the same or -slower- with the NPU. It's design dictates that if you were to have your browser downloading something and playing a game at the same time, the Download would take longer so as not to interrupt your gaming experience.

[hapylestat]

@Gemanite55 yes, benefits of this card is prioritizing of network streams, and make high priority for game conections. But stop, maybe some people forgot about standard QOS(Quality Of Service) technology, available on every middle - end prize sector of router devices. QOS make same think, that make this "pro" NPU. So question, why i should pay for nothing?

[Qwertacious]

Trollolololol I get a 22mb/s DL from my stock network adapter on our HP desktop over 802.11n

[BoxeoP4P]

@Qwertacious nice

[Youfuckintroller]

@Qwertacious troll.

@rucka704 mothafucka I'm jealous D:

[ownTer]

I see i live close to you. Im over in Port Townsend. So would you say this new Killer NIC is worth it?

[BoxeoP4P]

@ownTer Yes and no, its a matter of opinion. This is how I will break it down for you....You can get an Intel Pro 1000 CT NIC for ~$30 and this killer nic 2100 ~$70+. The intel NIC will perform very similar to the killer nic 2100. It's up to you to decide if the extra $40 is worth the cool looks of the killer nic, the bandwidth limiting software as well as the game prioritizing. If you are not on a budget I see no problem getting the killer nic 2100, lol. Hope that helps.

[xxxmodelvideos]

@BoxeoP4P Why would you suggest it, if it actually slowed down your connection speed?

[BoxeoP4P]

@xxxmodelvideos hey model, im not really suggesting it. I try to just give them the facts and let them decide for themselves if they want it or not. Hopefully my videos will help them out too. One thing it wouldn't or shouldn't do, is slow down gaming performance vs. onboard but I haven't had time to test it. It's not a "horrible" product and I think it slows down other aspects because it prioritizes gaming over anything else. In general any dedicated NIC should be better than onboard realtek =)

[adamjamesroe]

I would be lucky if mine gets above 0.5

[blastinc]

Well Killer is optimized for UDP and the tests in the video all are based on TCP so i do not think that this NIC is the money worth. A single GigaBit NIC from Intel will do the job!!! ;)

[Valcoyify]

killer 2100 equal no point in having unless you have 10/100 or you play games for money. Software is more important but you can find that online too

[humanPleiadian]

Huh! Well first of all.. This card is not meant to increase load rates, it is meant to lower the latency! Take the latency test instead.. Also, the card only place games as first priority, so other applications don't steal and cause higher latency.. Also this Killer 2100, will remove the network/CPU latency.. But to get the best gaming performance, I bet you have to disable the onboard Network chip!

[BoxeoP4P]

@sdtbigfoot I still haven't gotten around to testing in game performance yet, but it's on my list to do, lol..happy new year btw!

[Raansu]

@sdtbigfoot Ya well, tell your boss I want my money back, cuz my Killer1 doesnt make any difference at all. Ive actually gotten lower pings and less lag with my onboard. Waste of damn money.

[JamesBlitz]

i get 28mbps up and 5mbps down

[BoxeoP4P]

@JamesBlitz nice, seems everyones upload & download speeds are all over the map

[BoxeoP4P]

@JamesBlitz nice, seems everyones upload & download speeds are all over the map (of course dependant on ur service plan and your service company)

[Googlecow456]

yea i heard that this is not to improve your download upload but to stable ur connection just fro gaming which idk i would say is worth it but npu's look like something that are going to rise up just like sound card processors and stuff and nice video btw

[BoxeoP4P]

@Googlecow456 thanks google, yeah the primary focus for this NPU is gaming, which is what most people buying this will care about. Not to say that the other performance stats don't matter , which it will to some people. Still haven't got around to doing my last test :P. Their included software really helps when you are downloading or uploadings and want to do other internet based tasks (simply browsing will lag if you are downloading or uploadings, typically) But you can prevent that with this!

[phoexander]

and 8ms ping, without Bigfoot networks card.. :D i have only integrated networks on motherboard Asus P5Q-Deluxe (intel P45 chipset, ICH10R)

[phoexander]

Lol, I have 12Mb/s Donwload, !- 6Mb/s -! upload by WiFi :P

[BoxeoP4P]

@phoexander i'm jealous of your upload speed, lol!

[BoxeoP4P]

@sdtbigfoot thanks for your input sdt. Yup I realise its a gaming network card and I will be testing this killer 2100 (in what most people care about when they get this card) and thats in game performance. I just have'nt gotten around to doing that yet. Thanks and great product you guys got, es.p the software!

[PKKamba]

Do You "Feel" any Difference at Online-Gaming????

i know theres not a big Difference between Killer 2100 vs Onboard...

[BoxeoP4P]

@PKKamba To be honest, I do not a "feel" any difference between the Killer 2100 and my onboard. I will be doing 2 more tests. I've completed network trasnfers test and waiting to do gaming test (Got a final coming up soon though)
