Game first / intel gb lan

I see this thread as unnecessary at the premise of performance differences on modern day consumer NICs, and to see data that on it's face looks blatantly wrong being used to qualify a tech preference decision riled my feathers. My friend and I were just talking recently about the YouTube expert generation who because they have a website, or a youtube channel, publish themselves as experts and pretend they navigate fully experienced in all the subject matter they chance to cover.

I'm an audio geek, and it's one of those hobbies that the more you know, the more you realize you don't know. Same with Information Security, my career. I see these popular audio review guys pop onto YouTube or review sites and make ridiculously novice level reviews and claim something as fact, vs opinion, without the experience levels and product comparison experience to even back up their claim as opinion.

I'm only 40, but I'm finding I'm becoming a grumpy old man early - especially on the internet. I admit this very thread and conversation touched on that nerve. Aside -- I'm trying to figure out what he did to get those numbers. I downloaded that software he used.

The "lite" version non-paid does not allow me to pick a file to test with, and doesn't look the same as what he has in his screen prints.. When I chose the size of the testing - it gives no mention of it being a single contiguous file.

That was my assertion in my replies, because that is what the review said he used for testing. However, his review states he used a MB zipped file for the tests. I'm not going to buy this software to test with but I'd be half-interested to see it's performance metrics on my network to compare with what that reviewer sees.

There;s a new driver out i noticed Version: Joined Jul 11, Messages 10, I don't think it matters at all for gaming. For data transfer, if you're just running a single Ethernet cable to a gigabit switch, then I would choose the Intel NIC. If you are actually connecting to a 2. It's also worth noting that SMB 3. I run 3 Intel Gigabit adapters in my file-server Windows Server and 3 Gigabit adapters in my main PC Windows 10 and I can see file transfer rates nearing 3Gbps, with speeds almost always limited by the drive and not the network at that point.

So there could be benefit to simply using both network connections in the OP's case. GotNoRice said:.

But knowing how to utilize multi-core performance with Receive Side Scaling and mutli-transit queues, virtualization queues, non-bridged logics, MSI, and offloading for the many Gb interfaces, it's entirely a different argument.

Intel will always be better than Realtek. Realtek will always be cheaper, some Intel logics are cheaper and limit your over performance of your LAN for extensive usage, but not to sub early Y2k days. With WAN'ing the interactions are entirely different, and much of what you all argue is not even relevant. And to note, most do not tune the settings of the NIC It is the very fact that Intel's drivers worked, and on many platforms.

Intel is not the standard as much as it used to be, but still is with SOHO. Last edited by a moderator: Jan 23, Joined Mar 31, Messages 15, Transcievers That is what i do.

Comparing the Intel vs Realtek adapters on my x board with a quick test pinging the router didn't seem to differ between the two. They both fluctuated between 0. Latest drivers for both. Disabling all the power saving and interrupt moderation settings didn't make a difference either.

For what it's worth, the Intel driver has more bloat. It installs an NT service and network adapter diagnostics driver while Realtek has just the normal driver installed. Joined Oct 25, Messages 21, Intel seems to be the better LAN but I'm guessing it only matters if you're transferring a lot of files or running some sort of server or home network? I don't run any servers or home network and I've narrowed my motherboard choices for my new build down to 2- one uses the Intel GbE LAN chip and the other Realtek B Last edited: Jun 26, MacX YouTube Downloader.
