For Sale: Killer 2100 Gaming NIC PCI-E

Curious about these cards are they something a gamer should look into getting... I am very tempted at this price ... just curious overall

These NICs offloads the data computations from your CPU so you see some gains in FPS.

So i am guess from looking at the reviews I might not get the performance I am hoping for... well thanks for posting those reviews and to the seller glws!

well honest opinion of the killer 2100 is it does help and believe it or not quite a bit in certain games mainly games utilizing udp . I also want to make a huge piece of advice with these cards go into nchange network adapter settings and disable qos and file and printer sharing under the properties option only if solely using for gaming / general use not printer and file sharing these will make a great increase in performance . I also will advise you to go into the network side of the bigfoot settings and check tcp no delay and change tcp ack frequency to 1 then restart pc and the performance of these cards literaly jumps up %20. I dropped on average play on wow from 70-75ms latency to 50ms and game was alot less jittery also with pingtest.net my jitter dropped alot like 6ms less of jitter which is number one issue with online games and stutters/lag because of internet connection is jitter . I also will say my ping dropped alot on crysis 2 from around 60ms to 40ms with alot less random lag same for black ops and many others so yes it does work if setup properly . I will also say that they have modified the driver code to also offload / boost performance on other stuff now like tcp not just udp like it was before so it will benefit all around but be aware some games dont work well with the killer 2100 aka wont load into multiplayer maps and such but in general nearly all do hope this clears up some research for others it does work but has to be setup properly and works best with fresh os install and also not using any other network tweaks because using them then installing this and using it can cause conflict issues

also the tests you see usualy are from early drivers and back before they decided to open the ability of the cards up so now they are much more stable and perfom alot better in most case 2x what they did before or better

all the reviews i have found are from early drivers and also system that were not optimized properly. I have asked a few of the companies that did testing / reviews and they did a driver install on fresh os and a simple plug and play didnt do the ack frequency to 1 and tcp delay check box and system restart aka didnt realy allow the card to work properly add to it was tested on early drivers and you got alot of issues that do not allow card to function nothing like it does now the card in my experience works pretty well on nearly any game i play period. I have only had a few issues with the card i actualy returned a killer 2100 back when they were new because it was complete rubbish then decided to take another shot bought one off ebay used and quess what night and day all because of the drivers matured and they stabilized it. I am also going to say with proper setup and also proper settings it will work very well. I play wow and mist of panderia just released let me tell you the amount of delay for loadup of major cities like people and such into town is nuts [aka when you see people just randomly apearing in map in front of you and such with a delay } but when i installed the card it was cut in half if not less the actual cities and such load way faster and well latency dropped around 15ms but main thing is it isnt so clunky at times you know random stuttering in way over populated pvp matches and such aka world pvp events mass slaughterfest there is less of the server stutters cintributed over it . So yes these do work and i am telling you this i wont be removing it out of my machine anytime soon it works and trust me when i say i was skeptical but decided to give it a second try like 2 1/2 yrs later and this time i am impressed and happy .
