No, your ISP isn’t going to suddenly get any faster because you have a new motherboard. You can’t pull more bandwidth than your server or network can push.Įthernet vs DoubleShot internet results. Even on a LAN, most router ports are limited to the speed of gigabit Ethernet as are the local servers' Ethernet cards themselves. How is it possible that in this ideal environment, improvements were so difficult to find? The reality is that bandwidth limitations outside the computer, and thus control of the Killer Network Manager, are almost always responsible for the bottlenecks in online gaming.įor example, ISP speeds are just a fraction of home network bandwidth or a server attached to a network with a single gigabit NIC (gigabit fiber is as fast as it gets for most, and your typical cable or DSL connection is far slower at 100 megabits or less). Where’s the performance? What’s really going on? Both Left for Dead 2 and CS:GO show no dramatic differences in server ping times or gaming experience beyond normal network variation. Gaming results in the real world shadowed the benchmarks closely. This predictably results in slower overall operation and produces some embarrassing results, especially in general use, with no measurable advantages gained in return. When run with the latest downloaded rules, network file copy operations are shunted to Wi-Fi in a fruitless quest to preserve network speed, even when no high-priority network tasks are in evidence. That exception wasn’t a flattering one either. Below a couple of screen-shots from the software suite.Without rule adjustments, file copy operations get routed off to Wi-Fi where they languish at low speeds. It is a lovely solution and the software suite is just grand AND you can shape network traffic on your PC and monitor it. The sheer hardware design and next to it the software, is just really good though offering you a wide variety of settings and monitoring options. The NIC can do very little about that, especially with the excellent Intel and Realtek NICs available these days. in-between the router and the destination. But I've always been a bit skeptical about the NIC as we say that lag is created outside your home network, e.g. Killer gets traffic from the network, to the game, and back out to the network faster than any other PC network card. Its claimed that these NICs will allow you to game online with less lag. I know a lot of people frown upon Killer NICs, but the e2400 NICs and the AC WIFI Killer combo it just that, pretty killer (terrific). Next tot that the WIFI is also Killer based, and to be honest is among the best we ever tested. The motherboard will get two Killer Gigabit Ethernet Controllers, Killer E2400.
