its not a horrible nic, but it's way overpriced for what it delivers. Network latency has many factors, probably the least of which is someones NIC card on modern comps.

Save that 200$ for ram or Vid card upgrades imo.

There were some tests of this thing that showed it did have some positive impact on wow on slower computers, so again its not completely worthless, but I can think of better things to blow 200$ on.
