calebIf it is really true with that 6ms diffrence then as MadClown said every bit helps. Id even say that its a LOT. Dutch players within their country frequently get about 5-15ms ping and a diffrent lan card can give you 6 less ? Its just the question about how much is it for that 6ms.

YukikazeSo you'll have 5ms ping instead of 11ms ping ? Yay. Totally worth the money to shave off 6ms off your ping when the average perception delay for humans is around 200ms. Note that this is the time needed to perceive that something happened, not the reaction time, which is longer.

That 6ms is completely useless.

calebHuh ? What does gamer perception have to do with anything ?!
This is pure computer/network calculation times it wont change your brain lag but it will report your shooting signal 6ms faster than a regular card ( if ofcourse that chart is not a load of crap which it prolly is)

Your brain does this :
- you see your target : X ms
- your brain registers and reacts with mouse movement+click which are virually done simultaneously : X ms (i think its your 200ms you mentioned here)

All of the above is called physical reaction time and takes from 200ms to 1second depending on born reflex,state of mind bla bla bla..

Computer does this :
- computer registers your input
- computer sends it to NIC to send it over with TCP/IP (-6ms here)
- around the world over internet network
- servers NIC recivies the info + server proccessed all the stuff it got from players
This is where most games register ping values that are displayed for the gamer

Why would it be stupid to buy extra 6ms of youre a pro gamer and game vs other pro gamers where sometimes u try not to blink and already hold your finger muscle ready for click so youre a tiny bit faster than the other guy ?
I agree in public gameplay this most likely has no sense at all but when your gaming on a certain level trust me 'every bit' matters.

Again Im not convincing anybody that this works like the chart says at all.Im saying is that IF this works as they say it does then for some players this will be useful.

EDIT : No mailman the promos wont be less choppy.Buy a new CPU and dont forward/rewind spam it.

YukikazeSo what use does this "Killer NIC" have, again ?
