14 DAY TRIAL // We've seen plenty of curious multipurpose devices over time, but without a doubt, the VisionTek Killer HD 5770 really manages to take the cake, since it's the world's first single-card, PCI Express solution combining Bigfoot Networks Killer E2100 game networking technology and AMD Radeon HD 5000 graphics family technology. According to VisionTEK, this card pretty much targets all those users who're in the market for a solution that will help to get their computer MMO-ready, a topic that's becoming more and more important as the launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion draws nearer. The Killer HD 5770 card uses the AMD Radeon HD 5770 graphics processing unit to deliver Microsoft DirectX 11 support, multimonitor setup and 7.1 audio via HDMI output. On the other hand, the Killer HD 5770 card also uses the Killer E2100 platform to deliver fast Gigabit Ethernet networking optimized for online gameplay. The Killer E2100 platform is a new, embedded version of the Killer 2100 gaming network card developed by Bigfoot Networks. "The VisionTek Killer HD 5770 card is the only upgrade card specifically designed to combine high-quality graphics and low-latency networking for gaming," said Michael Innes, COO & EVP of VisionTek Products, LLC. "We are pleased to offer our customers unrivaled online gaming performance with the unprecedented convenience of a single plug-and-play card,” Mr. Innes also commented. "With the Killer HD 5770, players with mainstream PCs can turbocharge their systems at a fraction of the cost of a new PC," said Michael Howse, CEO, Bigfoot Networks, also commenting that "Bigfoot Networks pursues strategic initiatives with companies like VisionTek because of its shared commitment to offering unique, intelligent products to demanding gamers." The VisionTek Killer HD 5770 gaming graphics and network card will be available in early December and will retail at an MSRP of $199.99 USD.
