Best of CES Award Winner
"Overall it speeds up your gaming experience to save precious milliseconds giving you the competitive edge over your competition and smoother game play via boosted frame-rates during intense action."

    Final Verdict - Excellent, 83%
"Thanks to the Killer NIC, World of Warcraft received an astonishing boost in both ping and FPS."
PC Gamer -Mar 2007
       
    Killer K1 Excels in WoW
"Killer K1 really excelled in WoW when numerous characters appeared on-screen simultaneously. It significantly reduced the stuttering that sometimes occurs in WoW."
CPU Magazine -May 2007
       
   

Two Thumbs Up
"I give Killer K1 two happy thumbs up. So far this year, it's my favorite new piece of hardware, and if we did things like give awards here I would give it one. Perhaps the ‘Golden Orc Toe of MMORPG.com approval."
MMORPG.com -Apr 2007
       
    Silver Award
"My results are pretty definitive here -- the FNA Bit Torrent ... allows gamers to download while playing and NOT affect their performance at all."
PC Perspective -Mar 2007
       
   

Editor's Choice
"Given that some WoW players spend huge amounts of time inside of the WoW universe, having overall smoother gameplay and actual move and attacking advantages given through the use of the Killer NIC will likely be a no-brainer for many."
Hard OCP -Dec 2006
       
   

IGN Hands On Testing
"The performance boost we got out of the Killer NIC in this testing exceeds Bigfoot Networks' own claims of 10-15% gains by a long shot and certainly seems to validate the potential of the technology."
IGN -Aug 2006
       
   

Killer NIC - First Look
"Frame rates are much higher and more consistent than with an on-board Ethernet chip. Plus, the ability to run apps such as a Bit Torrent client without it affecting your ping or frame rate is excellent."
Custom PC (UK) -Sept 2007
       
   

Editor's Pick
"We've certainly never heard of anybody going out of their way to use a NIC to increase FPS; ... From our results it is pretty clear that not only can a NIC boost performance, it can do it pretty well."
Got Frag Hardware -Sept 2006
       
    Editor's Choice for 'techPowerUp!
Gives Killer NIC 9.5 / 10 review rating. "Performance of this card impresses with an average FPS increase of almost 25 FPS in CS:S and 10 FPS in BF2. This card has the potential to provide a smoother game play to lots of people."
techPowerUp! -Jun 2007
       
    Puget Recommends Killer NIC
"Performance improvements seen in the card feel as if they go beyond what the numbers describe. The differences might be compared to re-paving a road and removing the speed bumps: The speed might be slightly increased, but the real difference is in the removal of the little jarring bumps & hiccups along the way."
