VisionTek Killer Xeno Pro Network Card - 128MB Product Details

VisionTek Killer Xeno Pro Network Card
If you want to Gear Up to an Online Gaming PC, you have to divide and conquer. Online games demand a lot from your computer, so you need to assign specific tasks to specific components inside your PC for best results. Your GPU handles all the graphics that make these games look amazing in the first place. Your CPU handles game logic, physics and everything else that makes it a computer. But what about all the network traffic that flies in and out of your PC to make your online games as amazing as they are? That's where VisionTek Killer Xeno Pro Network Card comes in.

How It Works
The VisionTek Killer Xeno Pro Network Card bypasses your computer's slow and outdated network stack and routes all game traffic through Xeno's dedicated Network Processing Unit (NPU). This lets your CPU and GPU focus on their respective tasks while your VisionTek Killer Xeno Pro Network Card handles network traffic at lightning speed. The result: better performance for all your online games and applications.

Game Detect Technology
All network traffic is not equal…especially when playing online games. When you're in the thick of a PvP battle or knee deep in orcs and trolls, you need the network traffic for your game to get in and out of your system fast. If it doesn't, you'll start to see your in-game ping rise and your frame rates drop. Bigfoot's exclusive Game Detect™ technology identifies and prioritizes the network traffic for your game above other network tasks and helps prevent the stuttering, pausing and jerkiness associated with lag and latency.

    Get your FREE Killer™ Xeno™ ProSoftware Upgrade and Enjoy:
  • Better performance -Up to 10x faster for game traffic than other consumer network cards.
  • Higher Intelligence -Advanced Game Detect™ identifies & prioritizes game traffic even better than before to ensure your game gets priority treatment.
  • More Control -Brand new Visual Bandwidth Control™ makes it even easier to see and control how your bandwidth is used.
  • Maximum Visibility -Online Gaming PC Monitor™ builds on the functionality of our Dashboard™ product to help you monitor and manage the health and performance of your rig even better than before.

What It Is & Why Do You Need It?
  • Bypass your computer's slow and outdated network stack and route all game traffic through Xeno's dedicated Network Processing Unit (NPU). This lets your CPU and GPU focus on their respective tasks while your video card handles network traffic at lightning speed.

Solved the issue I needed it to solve

Stablized the windows 7 networking stack great way to bypass the constant disconnections I've been getting due to windows 7 networking bugs, some network cards work great but there's a wide array that aren't working as well, choose to just card fix instead of replacing outright the motherboard about a month ago, however This card does a good job of having a lack of lag spikes which is a bonus to what I bought this card for addressing. No more disconnects because windows drops my network connection.

5 stars across the board

I wanted a boost in my network, so I read a few reviews and liked what I heard. My ping dropped substantially in online games. Pro: -HUGE! speed boost for online play -Shipping was super fast to Nova Scotia. -Software that allows for bandwidth allocation. Pretty neat. -Looks pretty slick to boot. Cons: -I'm struggling to find any cons here. My experience has been very positive!

Pleasently surprised

I was skeptical when I ordered it because I had a bad experience with a previous killer card but this one worked fine. I would suggest you go to Vision Tek's website and download the latest driver for the card before you install it and you will have no problems. I no longer have any high latency problems while playing WOW.
