Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this video prove to us that the KillerNIC is a total waste of money?

Firstly, FNA Torrent can't POSSIBLY be taking 0% CPU usage. It's running, and it has to be delivered to Windows at some point - how else would Windows be able to show you what's going on in it, and let you control it?

Next: You say that KillerNIC allows you to download torrents while gaming, but you still have to limit bandwidth. This is no different to using any other NIC.

if youre retarted as fuck and download a billion torrents without even checking what they are AND have no firewall whatsoever, then yes

@mike081283 no.. the drive has a letter on the PC, its just a USB slot - not separate from the computer so Viri and Malware are able to get it or infect the computer from the drive.

You lower your upload speed its going to kill your download speed on any respectable torrent host.  Drop it to 8kps on the upload your going to see 20kps download speeds.. Open it up full and you will see full download speeds (seeders / leechers respectively).

This might work for a song - try a 23 gig download.

since the killer has a usb port dose that mean i can connect a external hd and have it dump it directly so i can scan the hd off my pc keeping my pc safe of viruses

you know that your supposed to cut the label on the jacket sleeve OFF!

@ukAdamR Your stupid. How does a GPU take all the graphical stuff away from the cpu? Windows has to read it some time.

But this card is a waste of money if you don't download alot. As for me, I always have 20-30 movies on download which is alot of connections to handle. I can still watch HD videos fine and game online fine with no lag. A normal NIC card would easily be on it's knees. This card is best hooked up to fiber line to see it really stand out.

where do i download the FNA bit torrent program?

[CybuhDork]

@ukAdamR Yep, your tottaly right, I just weren't sure you were taking all things into consideration. Cheers :)

[ukAdamR]

@CybuhDork True, but still, such overhead is so minute it really won't effect whatever game you'd be playing at the same time.

Not to mention that with quad+ core processors around, and hardly any game making use of more than 1 core properly, the KillerNIC is only lifting a small amount of work off the CPU that really didn't need off-lifting in the first place.

You'd have to have some really fast optical connection way beyond 100Gbps to get a noticeable difference from a NIC with it's own CPU.

[CybuhDork]

@ukAdamR You're technically right, but while I also think this is a useless product I have to say that It's able to take off some cpu work on itself because the CPU on the killer is handling the whole buffer of data you're getting when you downloading torrents and the only program windows is running is the control application for the board. This would be more useful if one has a high speed internet connection like fiber-optics.
