WiFi card

Im getting a Sager NP8255 and I'm just figuring what card to get instead of the stock wifi card.. Whats the big difference of Bigfoot Wireless Killer N-1103 vs Intel Dual Band AC 7260? Would really appreciate the help 😀
 
Get the laptop and try it first as is, might be that you do not need any "Killers" or whatever else with "fancy" meaningless names.

The primary differences between the two cards:

Intel: Established, reliable brand with stable drivers and a product that works.

Bigfoot: Expensive, unreliable, relatively unproven drivers. Onboard CPU that is supposed to improve performance by doing all network processing directly on the card. Unless your laptop CPU is horrible (in which case you don't want to use it for gaming anyway) you'll never see a difference except in your wallet/bank account. In addition, the Killer N-1103 is apparently a discontinued product as no reliable retailer I have checked has it available.


edit: The one thing that might actually make a difference is the wireless router you are using. If you don't have a 5Ghz AC router, then the Bigfoot might be a better choice since it is a B/G/N and supports 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies.
