For so many people, Second Life is more than a pretty place to hang out. It’s a way for Second Life residents to imagine and experience new situations and people that they’d never be able to live in real life. At a tremendous toll on network traffic. Ever wonder what you can do to counter the herky-jerky feeling of popular, crowded spaces in Second Life? Read below to find out what Killer NIC can do to make your Second Life experience more immersive.

How can the Killer NIC improve my Second Life Experience?

1. Crowds
Crowds in Second Life aren’t just fun places to be. They represent tons of network traffic on the CPU, which is already working heavily on Second Life Game Logic. At the same time, it’s got to handle the position, movement, actions and chat from dozens, if not hundreds, of different 2nd Life residents. The Killer NIC alleviates the workload by offloading ALL the Second Life game network traffic and allowing the CPU to focus on making sure your dance moves are executed flawlessly.

2. Voice
Remember all that network traffic in a crowd? Voice is an extra chore that your Killer NIC can handle. Encoding, transmitting, receiving and decoding voice-over-IP chat is a demanding task, best left to a network card designed for gaming. Bypassing the Windows networking stack allows the Killer NIC to keep your Second Life experience fresh and instantaneous, and gives you back the system horsepower that you need.

3. Exploration and Experience
New environments, vehicles, buildings, textures and sounds all come down the network pipe into your PC from Second Life servers. Why put up with herky-jerky motion and animations while new areas come into view. Let the Killer NIC handle the live streaming content while you enjoy your stroll bike ride or flight through a smoother, more immersive Second Life experience.
