Bigfoot networks, powercolor team up to build a gaming combo card

May 29th, 2010

You know Bigfoot Networks as the company behind the Killer NIC series, which are cards designed to improve your ping, Internet connection, and even your framerates while gaming online. Many consider a dedicated NIC to be of dubious value, but would you feel the same way if it came integrated onto your videocard?

That’s a question Bigfoot Networks and TUL (otherwise known as PowerColor) aim to find out. The two companies are working together on a combo card that will combine “best of breed PC graphics and networking for online gaming.” They already have a prototype avaiable and plan to show it off during Computex in early June.

According to Bigfoot Networks, the combo card is built around ATI’s HD 5000 graphics family. For what it’s worth, Bigfoot is making much ado over this being the “world’s first single card, PCI Express solution combining Bigfoot Networks Killer 2100 Gaming Network Card technology” and ATI’s aforementioned graphics.

Computex runs from June 1-5, at which point we’ll have more info on this.
