Re: Win a Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card!

The game I play the most is DChoc Solitaire on my mobile phone, and this NIC will do absolutely nothing to improve its online play.

(Additional comments:
1. Yes, it does have online play, of a sort.
2. It's hard to improve on it anyway. It's a very well done game.)

Re: Win a Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card!

This NIC might help me group more in City of Heroes. Lag is often a real problem when playing with others, since I can't set the pace myself to match the network conditions (which are often pretty bad).

I need this card because ping is really crucial in Call of Duty 4 and Counter Strike Source. I want it's advantage in my Online and Lan Party games.
One bullet faster can make the difference

Re: Win a Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card!

if i win the nic card, itll help me by allowing me to pawn it off and putting the cash towards a desperately needed system overhaul.

not a chance in hell in winning off that, but eh, what the heck, ill give it a shot.

Re: Win a Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card!

I play mostly singleplayer games nowadays(just trying to play them through once in a while) but sometimes I put my hands on quakeworld which is one of the fastest fps-games there is. I have already bought 70 euros router to get 1,5ms better ping, this card of your would give me a bit cutting edge situation so please aid me.

I also play Left 4 Dead and better ping would really give me advantage to save my team.

Goombas and imba turtles in Super Mario Bros.

Or to reduce delay while I'm playing Duck Hunt
with this top notch new pistol I bought.

... ŋdoes it come with an adaptor for Nes.?

Re: Win a Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card!

Currently playing L4D, and I daresay that one of these NICs would allow me to accidentally shoot down my teammates with greater consistency. This is of course assuming that the card lives up to its claims, and that I don't lose an eye to that rather pointy and dangerous looking heatsink whilst installing it.

Re: Win a Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card!

r u joking? this is a great product. I NEED IT! hahaha

The game I play the most is without doubts is Argentum Online (AO). A really really adictive MMORPG with really horrible graphics
This is the MOD I like to play on my free time:
ImperiumAO>>Free MMORPG Online GAME>>

And I must tell you:
Lag is really a problem there. 50ms late and you are dead. You have to be really quick and precise. having a good ping is the base to play. If you have 80ms or greater then you won't get too far. You won't kill someone because you have good luck (that happens with other games when you drop a grenade, or shot to the air. sometimes yo are lucky and kill someone).

Besides my gamming needs. I'm studying to become a Software Engineer, and sometimes I'm at the university and need to access to my desktop computer for different reasons (just to get some files or because I left and specific service running) so the quick response is really important. Is not nice to be waiting because of the slow responses when there is a profesor evaluating you.


Great contest!!! good luck!

I need the Killer NIC because the game I play most is Counter Strike Source.

If you do not know why I need the killer for that, check out the blog at the killerīs site.
