its not going to _stop_ lag, the best it could do is scrape a few milliseconds off your ping.

It seems rather useless.

I don't see how a NIC could reduce your lag by any noticeable amount.

It's a waste of money, just save your money and increase your internet speed.

A network card for gamers?
That is stupid IMO...
However, I must admit that the design of the network card looks cool

Pinging my gateway WAN address gives <1 ms.
All the latency I get has nothing to do with the equipment that I use, it all happens at the IP carriers.
A $15 NIC from your local computer store probably performs better than this.

Why is this a rip off? Simple, it's a PCI card. The PCI Bus is capable of 133MB/s (1,064 Mb/s), so it's theoretically capable of achieving GBPS transfer. However, this is shared between all PCI devices. Even if this card did come in PCI Express, I'd still call it a gimmick though.
Another over-priced gimmick, that will offer nothing over existing NIC's but a higher price.
