Gaming equipment startup Bigfoot Networks is shipping a Linux-powered NIC (network interface card) aimed at improving network gaming performance. The Killer Network Interface Card has a 400MHz processor and hardware UDP/IP acceleration, to offload network processing. A contest for other Killer NIC apps is underway.
Bigfoot claims that its Killer NIC can achieve significant real-world framerate improvements on a variety of popular games. For example, early reviewers have measured a 41 percent framerate improvement on Worlds of Warcraft, and a 23 percent improvement on Fear, the company says.
