VisionTek and Bigfoot Networks have just announced the VisionTek Killer HD 5770, which combines the high 3D performance of an AMD 5770 graphics processor (GPU) to Bigfoot’s E2100 network processor. If you are interested in 3D games, you probably already know the AMD HD 5770, which is a mid-range GPU that can run any modern game very decently. The BigFoot networks E2100 might be a little more obscure, but it’s basically a network controller that processes network data with minimal intervention from the main processor (CPU) and the operating system (OS). The Bigfoot E2100 should produce lower latency (we’re talking about going from 5ms to 3ms or so…). All of this leads to increase in performance, either measured in latency (ms) or FPS (frames per second). If you are looking for an absolute edge in online gaming, you might want to check this out.
