Most importantly, the card was originally claimed to achieve over 200 frames per second in id Software's Quake III Arena at maximum visual quality.
One review by Chris Roper gave it a 4.7 out of 10, criticizing the game's sound design, controls, and the unstable framerate, but praising the multiplayer mode of the GameCube version and the voice overs during the FMV cutscenes.
However, using a F.E.A.R. benchmark IGN found that the Killer NIC increased framerate from 15.41 to 23.5 frame/s.
