I just bought one of these and I have not seen any noticeable performance increases.
-
I've heard that routers need very difficult configuration after installing a Killer NIC card or there is no benefit. Any truth to this?

BFN plz post something like a benchmaks video not pointless ads
-
I'm using this and I'm not seeing any performance boosts? FPS=Same or less, Latency=Same or now some shows latency faily as zero when in reality its over 200 ^^

33% just for network interfacing? That much? If that ever happens, you just go and toss that computer right into the trash where it belongs!

The Killer NIC works... I have one, and plan on getting another (Xeno Ultra) when it comes out. Vista is even worse when it comes to latency. Omniwolfvega hit it right on the head... buy one, and you will see for yourself (if you are a 'twitch' gamer), otherwise buy a clue. Also, many current 'onboard' network chips like the Atheros L1e can choke up about 33% of your CPU's performance even on a new board/CPU combo. Add Sli/xfire, and you get the idea... bottleneck!!

You said it brother!
Bring the truth!

domo, BFN is not only still around, they are expanding
just because clueless idiots on youtube bash the killer, doesnt mean the company is going to fail
alienware, dell and many other companys are now promoting killer for online gaming
people who actually test the card know that it works
its just the clueless twits who cant even understand how it works who whine on youtube that its a scam

tipoo, vista improved throughput, not latency
killer improves latency instead of throughput
it works even better in vista than it did in xp for games
the Killer NIC was supposed to improve windows networking performance, and was launched before vista. vista was also supposed to improve windows networking performance, so i wonder if there is still la benefit? either way i dont think its worth it, you can take that money and get a better upgrade that will increase performance more.

In a strange twist, Vista actually decreased networking performance for gamers, so our card actually works better under Vista. :)
In short, Microsoft combined the server network stack and the desktop network stack into one operation to make code maintenance easier. They also optimized for better throughput, as omniwolf mentioned below. However, a bigger network stack results in more copy operations, and throughput optimization makes for more latency.
