Ενώ το Ping ήταν και στις δύο περιπτώσεις το ίδιο. Επομένως, βλέπουμε μια διαφορά στα FPS της τάξεως του 41%!

Battlefield 2

 Ενώ το ping ήταν στα 3ms για το KillerNIC και 5ms χωρίς. Η διαφορά στα FPS είναι της τάξεως του 18%. Ορίστε ποια ήταν τα συμπεράσματα του IGN:

 One of the things I noted while playing with this card was how much smoother the game seemed to run. Even while there was a lot of movement on screen the FPS didn't drop as much as with my ordinary network card.

During my tests I became really fond of the FN Torrent program, this is really nice because it enables you to keep on gaming even while downloading. The FN Torrent program is great I used it to download benchmark programs from techPowerUp.com and several free Linux distributions for my Linux laptop. This little application is very useful because almost all large files on the net are available as torrent downloads.

The FN Torrent program supplied with the card runs quite good. I was able to download from techPowerUp.com download servers to my thumb drive via the KillerNIC without affecting the load on my CPU at all.

While downloading from techPowerUp.com download servers I timed the download to check how fast the FN Torrent program was. I measured roughly 0.5 MB/s. After that I downloaded from the same torrent although this time via uTorrent. By doing this the download speed was exactly the same (+-0.05 MB/s tolerance). Here the CPU load while downloading the torrent was raised from 0 % to approximately 7-10 %. This is due to the fact that the CPU takes care of the download instead of the KillerNIC's NPU and besides that your PC has to use some resources in order to get the data to and from the hard drive in your PC.

 I think that the FNA Firewall is harder to bypass because it's relatively unknown to hackers and runs Linux. So by using the FNA Firewall you should be a bit more safe on the net even though it probably doesn't support the same exact same features as the Windows Firewall.

Η τελική βαθμολογία του ήταν 9.5/10. Μπορείτε επίσης να δείτε μετρήσεις απο review του IGN.com καθώς και περισσότερες πληροφορίες στην σελίδα "Αξίζει;".
