BFN - Today at Computex, Bigfoot Networks, the technology company behind the Killer™ line of high-performance networking products, announced that its exclusive Advanced Stream Detect™ technology is now available for all of its networking platforms including Killer E2100 embedded networking platforms, Killer 2100 add-in cards and the Killer Wireless-N family of wireless networking adapters.
Bigfoot Networks has gained more partners to help bring their Killer 2100 network technology to gamers. At CES 2011, Bigfoot announced that the Killer 2100 technology would be integrated into upcoming gaming-oriented PC motherboards from Asus and Gigabyte.
I personally think this is a really neat idea.
I know the Killer NICs are supposed to be better than a normal NIC but mostly on a software level. Does anyone have any good documentation on the Killer NICs?
I know it apparently replaces the windows TCP/IP stack with its own hardware accelerated version.. does that mean in Linux / OSX this would just be a normal GIG-E NIC?
VisionTek has released the Killer HD 5770, a new video card that combines the AMD Radeon 5000-series GPU with an embedded version of Bigfoot Networks’ Killer 2100 gaming network processing unit (NPU) into a single-card video, audio, and networking solution for PC gamers.
