Every month, Bigfoot Networks will be publishing a new tip or trick to help ensure that you get the most out of your online gaming. As we seek to improve your response time, smooth out your gameplay, and battle back latency and lag, we will also show you several other things that you can do with your card to help get the most out of it.
Voice Chat and Bandwidth Control: What’s your favorite voice chat client? Did you know that you can set this to our special “Realtime” priority in Bandwidth Control?
Now your voice won’t step on your game and your game won’t step on your voice chat!
Bandwidth Control and Downloads: Lots of us use Bandwidth Control to download stuff while we game. But what if you want to get the download done as fast as possible so that you can get back to the game?
Easy – set the download to “Priority 1” in Bandwidth Control and everything else will take a back seat. In fact, you can continue to browse the web, IM or even voice chat while downloading and your download won’t slow down for anything!
Worry Free in the DMZ. Got a firewall on your router? Want to use ours alone?
While double-firewall security can't hurt, some folks always want to break down the walls, especially when gaming. Research your router's settings to see how you can set your gaming PC in your router's "DMZ," an unprotected hole that you punch through your router's firewall.
Keep track of all your computers online gaming statistics, and track down sources of lag.
