Hello,

I never had one so I am wondering how is the performance.

Does anyone here have one or knows if it's any good to buy one ?

PS. This is what I have in mind http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/killer-xeno-pro/

2nd PS. I play FPS like AvP3, COD black ops , UT3 etc.

THank you.

I think you would be better off getting a more reliable internet connection than spending money on one of these. I doubt it would improve your current performance much if any.

It is a waste of money unless your playing in a way that you need the extra 2-3ms this can shave off your lagginess. Which while it may be fun...is it really worth the cost.

well, the speed is there for you and as long as the connection stays consistent, I don't think there's anything you can do that will improve your gaming experience in this regard. Any lag you experience is likely to be server side or in between somewhere and there's nothing you can do about either.

I think there are work arounds for priority on programs that will do the exact same thing. Maybe not as good as a dedicated card but they will tweak your ping. Also keep in mind cards like this use some memory from what I have read, so if you are skimping on ram this may slow you down.

It seems to me that there was a review of that in a magazine a while ago. Their conclusion was about the same as End's - the small benefit you can sometimes get is not worth the cost.

If you have Fiber 60mb/s you shouldn't need something like this, you're just wasting your money, just my opinion.

Assume this is about black ops... dont worry m8 its not just you, black ops connections are RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed for everyone. Nothing that can be sorted on your end. 60mb fibre is reckless anyway would never have any lag on that so anything on top of that is a waste.

Played GW for years with avg 60 ping with 7mb broadband Same for console stuff, never had any big probs with it.

Thank you for the answers. I know that 90% of the lags are from servers, hubs , etc. Normally my pings are around 40ms , cannot complaing , I was just hoping to get less ms

Yeah...you'll only shave off a few which outside of a really high class level won't make enough of a difference.
