[citation][nom]mavroxur[/nom]After reading the piles of comments from people, it's very obvious that people don't understand the benefits of offloading the TCP stack to a hardware engine, instead of letting the OS handle the stack. The benefits are proven, and have been several times. Do your research before spouting off uneducated comments.[/citation]
Im guessing you have a dual core cpu. Those of us with Quad cores (and ht) dont have a problem offloading the tcp stack to the OS because we can spare an ENTIRE CPU CORE to do it. I spend my money on 3 or 4 places in my system builds. 1) the cpu 2)the gpu 3) the psu 4) some times the motherboard depending on what is out there at the time... spending half or more for what I paid for my cpu on a nic to lower latency in games by a whopping 2-3ms is retarded. Offloading tasks to the nic is great for a server because its got thousands of connections that it's handling at once... my gaming rig... not so much.
