For our Wireless Network Efficiency Test we are attempting to create a real world network performance test for online PC games. This test will help us ascertain the transmission of gaming network traffic over a local network environment.
We are using Windows 7 64 bit for all our testing today. This particular benchmark is developed by Bigfoot themselves, but it will work on any network card.
GANE measures and compares the latency between two networked computers. It does this by sending packets over the local network on a round trip, every 50ms. Bigfoot recommend using 100 bytes as the packet size because it is representative of a game network packet.
This test requires three PC's, a ‘listen‘ ‘test‘ and ‘control' PC. The listen PC records the results and is wired via a Gigabit connection. We are comparing the results from the Bigfoot Killer Wireless N 1102 with a standard Intel wireless adapter bundled with many laptops.
According to this test there are huge differences between the Killer Wireless N 1102 onboard solution and a standard Wireless Adapter.
Excellent idea. I like their software, worth it for that alone.
I read about the killer desktop model here last year and bought one and I can’t do without it now. One of the best buys ever. They have the hardware finely tuned for gamers.
Shame you cant just add on into the machine. I upgrade my memory on my laptop. dont see how this would be any more difficult.
Great product! I agree with Ian I wish that I could add this on to my laptop as my current wireless card is terrible. Plugging it into a network problem fixes all of my latency problems in World of Warcraft so it has to be my card. I would totally drop this in if it were available. My wireless card is a standard mini PCI port so I don’t see why I couldn’t.
