So I recently got a new X570 Motherboard and a Ryzen 3700X Processor, my download speed at home is 100Mbps sometimes it's a little bit more. SO my problem it that my motherboard doesn't seem to allow higher throughput than 100Mbps.
As you can see in these 2 screenshots, it caps out at 100Mbps network usage. Which isn't usually a problem but when I'm downloading many things at once and watching youtube/streaming from twitch for e.g., I start to get drops in performance because I'm not getting the data fast enough.
So I was thinking, that surely a motherboard like the MSI X570 has a Gigabit ehternet port and if so what can I do to enable it?
P.S. I have downloaded all the latest drivers from MSI and Realtek for this network controller.
Solution:
So it turns out that all I needed was a new network cable and I’m now running at 1Gbps.
I was just confused as to how it was showing up on my system. I saw things on my pc that made me believe it was my motherboard not allowing more throughput, which was partially true but it needed a proper 1Gbps capable cable to display that it was able to operate at 1Gbps.
thanks to everyone for the help
