You say 'enthusiast' but its a 5770 which isn't an enthusiast card.
ugh :yucky:Quote:
clearing the way for low latencies and smooth, uninterrupted online gaming.
ps: Hi Cinrellik!
If those network cards were £20-25 a piece, they'd sell like hot cakes
The high price they have is impossible to justify
Utter toss.
Both the idea of 'killer nic' and fusing it to a graphic board strike me as resoundingly stupid.
It actually says that the mid-range GPU might put enthusiasts off.Quote:

I'm sure there are plenty of WOW bunnies out there who'd flock to buy one. In fact, run a promo with Blizzard for one of these with a funky sticker on a copy of WOW and you'd sell thousands.
I'll take 0.5% of the profits as a consultancy fee, thanks :mrgreen:
Killer NIC is the biggest waste of money, totally stupid, for so many reasons I can't even be bothered with.
Well, it does work, as reviews have proven. But it's so much cost for so little performance gain :crazy:Quote:

If your net is that crap. Upgrade or stop torrents before gaming.
Oh and another reason why wow ppl would buy it? Blizzard STILL hasnt allowed you to set a limit on your upstream when you are torrenting its patches. This of course HAMMERS the hell out of your connection and effectively throttles you.
