Killer Doubleshot Pro

[Davis Santana]

Currently Im having the MSI 970 Gaming that has Killer e2200 ethernet controller, is it possible to have the Killer Doubleshot Pro on my pc (if I have the killer wireless AC1525) or its only available to MSI gaming laptop, thanks

You have to ask why you really want to use this. I am not sure how they think they can combine wireless and ethernet since the router must support it.

Almost all the killer networks fancy stuff is smoke and mirrors. It assumes you are being really stupid and running you game program and other network intensive software on the same PC. So if you are doing massive file transfers and playing your game it will make sure your game traffic gets priority. BUT wouldn't it just be simpler to not do stupid stuff and run just the game when you want good performance.

There is no way any software on a pc can affect another device. If I decide to run utorrent on my machine and eat all the bandwidth your machine can do nothing about it. No matter what it runs my machine will destroy the network.

There are some pros to having this that your average geeks won't have any knowledge of and that's called LAGs using true LACP. For example if you had a NAS box setup with a 2+ LACP configuration you would benefit from multiple connections from the other side. I have an alienware and this works well especially when acronis kicks in nightly for full backups to the NAS.

But for your average usage like gaming and surfing it's pointless. People that call it gimmicky just have limited experience with various technologies and abilities. Good call for asking, no question is stupid, but answers can be.

It is almost pointless to use LACP even in large enterprise environments....ignoring the fact that LACP is not possible on wireless. Port aggregations is very limited in that is load balances data by session and not by packet which limits the speed of a single file transfer to the speed of a single port. Before the days of the 10g ports it was the only option and you lived with only being able to use 1g for a single transfer. Now that you can get 10g ports it is not needed. The last use of port aggregation is to aggregate 10g ports together with special multi chassis switches to allow for a faster fail over than spanning tree can provide.
