VIP Puts Best Foot Forward with the Sign-Up of
Gaming Networking Card Manufacturer, Bigfoot
Networks
VIP Computer Centre Ltd (VIP), the UK’s leading independent distributor of computer
components and peripherals, today announced exclusive UK distribution rights for the
Bigfoot Networks branded Killer™ 2100 gaming network card, hailed as the world’s
fastest networking solution for online PC gaming.
As gamers and enthusiasts upgrade and enhance their PCs to obtain every last drop of
gaming performance, they often overlook the impact their networking card can offer.
Killer™ 2100 gaming network card delivers maximum networking performance for
online games by reducing lag and latency, whether playing MMOs or first-person
shooters. So how does it work? Featuring Game Networking DNA™ technology,
Killer™ 2100 automatically classifies and accelerates gaming traffic ahead of other
network traffic for maximum speed and a competitive edge. This means that gamers
can get out of the way of an opponent’s bullets, spells and grenades, but their enemies
can’t. For those who want to tune their system, Killer™ 2100 offers powerful tools for
monitoring and optimizing network performance from Visual Bandwidth Control to
Online Gaming PC Monitor with at-a-glance graphical displays.
