Cheap Gaming NIC(Maybe $30?)

[Henry]

Are there any good, cheap gaming nic's out there?

 

Im looking at the Bigfoot Killer 2100, but then I realized, its $129...

 

All I would really like is a gigabit nic with bandwidth control

What brand is your onboard NIC? i wouldn't say a Bigfoot killer 2100 is worth the money. Also what do you mean with "gaming NIC"?

 

I can recommend a Intel NIC: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Gigabit-Network-Adapter-EXPI9301CTBLK/dp/B001CY0P7G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376817449&sr=8-1&keywords=intel+nic

You wont really see a big difference to be worth the money imo

Realtek but I just need something similar to Killer's Visual Bandwidth Control, the streamboost thing in the killer nic is pretty cool too.

That I can't help you with. Killer is really the only third-party that offers that feature. If you have a Asus board you can see if they offer their GameFirst software to your board.

What motherboard you have? Do you have a motherboard with a Realtek NIC? If you do, I'm really sorry to hear that...

Its fine, but, Killer 2100 is so epic, but so overpriced...
