These Killer NICs are never as good as simple PCIe based Intel NICs. I used many and Intel always works best

Or I can stick to my dual onboard intel NIC with teaming.

MSI is proud to announce the new Z170A GAMING M6 motherboard and Aegis Ti desktop are the world's first products to feature the brand-new Killer E2500 game networking chip which offers groundbreaking network performance.
Just give me a hotkey to DDoS server after nonreg.

It's always fun to see the marketing garbage that's spewed in regards to Killer NICs.... They're claiming "3x better latency performance" with the E2500... Of course, they never say who they're comparing to, or what server they're using for testing. Both of which could have a huge impact on latency. Just claims that they're comparing to their "leading competitor".... Of course, how do they define this "leading competitor?" I'd love to see a comparison done between this E2500, an Intel I210 (or I219), Realtek and Marvell, using Speedtest.net. At least then we know the source code hasn't been tampered with to provide false information, as is possible with NetPerf.

I honestly never felt or seen a difference when using either. Have an X58 G1 Sniper board in my server. Sometimes with Win 10 it wont do 1GB, and breaks EA origin completely with the driver. With a $10 pci gigabit card with no driver install, its always full 1GB and does not break Origin and has the exactly same latency and speeds as Killer NIC. I can not tell 1 difference while playing BF4 on it or CSS. Drivers for the Killer nice suck ass IMHO.
