Winning Lag Story

Ceryndrion said:
I've always been lucky with my latency when gaming, never really had any trouble, except for one very memorable raid. My group and myself, had righteously fought our way through the tower of despair, slaughtering all who stood to oppose us. We'd fought the jailer and the judge, and free'd the pit fiend Arraetrikos (Harry for short). We'd defeated the shadowmaster and his minions, and found ourselves at the portal to the final encounter, the great fight, the ultimate showdown, with the First General, Horoth.

We buffed up, and donned our boots of anchoring, I equipped my tanking gear, my heavy armour, my shield, my sword, the adrenaline pumping as it was now my time to shine. The rest of the group had done their job, getting me here safely, now it was my turn, to tank the giant demon, to keep his attention while the rest of the group took him from behind. We watched as the generals of the devil army argued amongst themselves, and then finally, they noticed us. We surged forward, meeting the devil leader, shield to claw, when all of a sudden... nothing.. everything stopped. Looking on in horror, my latency counter went from green, to yellow, and then to red, I could hear the calls of my teammates as they fought valiantly to defeat this foe, but without me there to keep the mighty general distracted, all was doomed. In my ears I could hear their calls "dude.. what the hell.." "omg, this is sooo lame!" "you suck!!". Finally, the lag broke, the screen flickered for a moment, and there I was, stood in the centre of the room. The corpses of my fallen comrades scattered around me. I had but a sliver of health left, there was nothing that I could do, and then, from behind me, came the triumphant roar as First General Horoth, brought his claws down, one final time.


I have been using an onboard NIC for much of the last decade, and for the most part it has served its purpose, but there are times, when you can just feel it, feel that treacle like lag, when you know that an onboard NIC just cannot cope. If I won this competition, and was able to use the Killer NIC instead, I know, that I would never need worry about getting stuck in a packet-jam again. My guildmates would know that they could rely upon my connection to defend them against the demons of Shavarath. And of course, the Raidbosses would know that their time has come.

on bf2 , got blown up by a grenade on karkand, lagged up just as i was flying through the air but just carried on going could see the entire map before the lag went :)
 
is this the same company that brough us "killer nic" some 5+ years ago that was found ut to be a waste of time...

cant believe ocuk even sell these is there any proof this timre around they even do anything above a regular nic?
also my 7 year old moden has gigabit and can prioritise ports/ip destinations :P

Yeah, I'm sure the 2ms makes you pwn a lot harder.

Won't even be 2ms on any modern PC, my average latency to the router is just under 0.3ms (without a killer NIC) and there is nothing the killer NIC can do about traffic downstream of it. For free tho I wouldn't complain.

I have to use my on-board, it's slow, throttles my connection too much, also I'm unable to kick noob tubers & the many hacking ***** from Call of duty Mw2 using the mw2sa tool.

Not only that, my favourite is when my bullets turn into a translucent state and simply pass through my opponent and they are able to kill me with just a smell of a bullet.
Not only that during the lobby of 1 min (which is way to long), these said players continue my hurt by trolling me in the lobby, this turns me into a rage and I'm forced to use my vast trolling vocabulary in order to kerb the noise.
This is not good for my health, my heart rate and blood pressure, I would dread to think what my neighbours think of me with my unusual screaming at my computer.

So I think a killer gaming card would..

1) enable me to kick noob tubers and hackers from my game.
2) allow my bullets to auctualy kill someone
3) stop my trolling in the lobby
4) better for my health and other people around me health.
5) have a better relationship me my neighbours and for them to stop thinking I'm a weirdo.

That is all.

My ping is usually around 60/70 when playing online, however on MW2 it's 150+.

On FEAR, I was playing multiplayer once and managed to spawn under the map. Everyone was jumping around like crazy. Not sure if it was the servers fault or not.

On CoD4, I have jumped out of Killhouse a few times, and shot the M40A3 like a smg with no recoil.

And on MW2 the Intervention (bolt sniper) always shoots twice. It's difficult to tell which shot is actually registered.

I recently got my computer moved downstairs. When my computer was upstairs, I had to use wireless. I've go through 3 wifi adapters this year -.-

But now it's downstairs I can switch to the more reliable etherner connection.

Would also look THE BUSINESS in my newly acquired 600t white + Crosshair V formula.

FIX MAI LAGG PLZ. I know this won't speed up my internets, but my internet speed is: 3mbps down and 0.4 up. Yeah my phone gets faster.

Good luck guise, hope I win
 
Someone lagged out on cod in that they were floating in mid air while running, so we played the baywatch theme down TS and made it into a scene.

Sometimes I get lag on LoL where I click and it takes a second to respond, so for the purpose of this competition, I'm gonna blame my network card.
 
My home router is:

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/wifi-routers/360874/sitecom-wl-328

I have a home server (P7Z68 Pro) and that only has a single Gigabit ethernet port. If I were to get a second ethernet port in that machine, then I could connect one to the modem, and one to my switch and then use my Server as my internet gateway, then I can play games online! At the moment I'm stuck playing the single player games or playing web based games, and I can afford any more kit :(

I can't even retain a Remote Desktop Session over the internet due to the lag caused by the router - it's pants. If I were to Win the bigfoot card, I'd be able to work harder and longer house, therefore increasing my amount of money available to buy more goodies from the very excellent Overclockers.co.uk

Or watch high def porn without any lag....

:)
 
The bigfoot card would help reduce my ping which would hopefully enable me to play better at the Counter Strike source with the ocuk community, reduce my need for using the awp and help me get the girl of my dreams by wooing her with my skills enhanced with the bigfoot card.


semi serious. :)
 
I play world of warcraft a lot, in wrath of the lichking , in a 26 man riadwe was doing the relms first lich king hc. it was going brilliant no deaths no mistakes,(all be it our 65th go), anyhow we was going great, then it was myturn to have the debuff(defile) i didnt notice i had it i had realy bad lag by the timei had realised it was to late and i had wiped the raid.


Hense to say i was not very popilar,

If i won this cardit would mean a great deal to me, i know a lot of people who play world of warcraft who bennifit from this card,but atm i can not afford to purchase one, i have had to stop raiding becuase of the lag i get,i get around 300-400 i believe with the card it would reduce the lag to around 200-250 it woudl improve my game play so much.

i live a fair distance from our local exchange,we have tried to getbt tolook into our line but nothing.

In short it will greatly increase my online gaming. although it would also help the wife in her online bingo, soi think she would get to bennifit just as much as me.

And i nearly forgot this one, my sons like to giveme a kicking og ut black edition and any advantage i coudl gain from this card woudl be browney points, instead of the "dad you suck"

Hmm, never thought one would be any use on a crap line like mine, but:

As a healer on WoW, I oftenly find the need to slack, but can't as we all die from it. So, then I tend to turn to the excuse of "oh sorry, this lag is killing me (or 'us')", and this, goblin made device, would help and remove the excuse. (Atleast I could say, "Driver trouble on my NIC, sorry guys")
