Yea 2.5gbe won't matter for you at all then, it will just run at gigabit speeds. Id save the money and get a board with only 1gbe.

What are differences between them? Which is more "better" than one or another?

Broader compatibility. Possibly more features.

 

Edit:

Realized I didn't answer the question. The Intel one will have broader compatibility and possibly more features.

For most all uses, they will work the same, what are you doing with the nics?

 

What exact models of nics are you looking at? All the 2.5gb nics are pretty low end in terms of features, but you don't really need those features at 2.5gbe.

@Electronics WizardyZ490 Aorus Elite have realtek 2.5gbe and Z490 Vision G have intel 2.5gbe.

Whats the difference actually though?

Are you using 2.5gbe speeds?

 

Those nics will work basically the same for all uses. Intel is noramlly a bit better with os support and cpu usage, but it won't matter here, and intel had some bad chips with 2.5gbe.

@Electronics WizardyI think my router is 1 gbe only..... 

Idk how check the speed of my router or how much does it support?

Look on the router spec sheet.

 

But its very unlikely your have internet faster than gigabit, so the 2.5gbe won't matter at all here.

@Electronics Wizardy my router name is already with gigabit name on it. That's mean my router only support up to 1gbe per lan port so 2.5 gbe is not relevant for me?

@Electronics WizardyMost board now, just come with 2.5gbe. It will be standard in future. 

And also can you help about audio part I posted earlier.
