Killer 2100 Blows Away Standard NICs in Gaming Benchmarks

By

The newly released Killer 2100 gaming network card from Bigfoot Networks sharply improves network performance for online games, even on high-end PCs, according to a new analyst study from Jon Peddie Research. The study tested network performance on enthusiast and mainstream gaming PCs. The results revealed that the Killer 2100 reduced latency as much as 33 times and jitter as much as 85 times. The testing that JPR completed was on an internal network on just the PC game title Resident Evil 5. No online game servers were tested, so who knows how the Killer 2100 actually performs as you would actually use it in the real-world. We hope that JPR continues their testing and does some real-world testing to see if performance remains this much better.

“Most surprising was how rock-solid the Killer 2100 remained when faced with the gaming-type load while the standard NIC was negatively impacted and exhibited much higher average latency results,” Peddie wrote. “Additionally, Bigfoot’s new user interface allows the user to control the network stack using advanced features such as Visual Bandwidth Control to make gameplay the priority for the NIC. We believe this capability will be a true benefit to real-world online gamers.”
