Hi,

 

I have a direct connection to my fiber modem using an Ethernet cable.

When I connect the cable to my Mac(via a Nic connected to the USB) I get about 800-900 Mbps. Which is good.

When I connect the same cable to my https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING-rev-10/sp#sp Nic, I get about 400 Mbps.

 

How do I fix this?

Thanks.

How do you test?
And are you sure your local storage is fast enough to maintain to pretty high speeds?!!

(As in normal mechanical harddrives wont reach speeds like that. You will NEED a proper fast SSD).

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

I use https://fast.com/

And I have NVME as my C, maybe it writes to my HDD? I don't think so though.

Also, it might download it to RAM?

Yeah i think fast uses the HDD (or in your case SSD?) to download to so limiting to possible speed.

(If you have not set your documents folder to another drive then the SSD it would most likely use the SSD.)
But imho thats better more like real world results.

But tbh 400mbps does sound like the 50MB/s a not new HDD would run at. So thats why i tought of that.
But further im out of suggestions, im sorry.

Indeed shows 900 Mbps

Yeah pretty sure that one just loads into RAM.

Seems like both speedtest.net and fast.com write to disk, but speedtest.net is somehow faster.

Not sure why.

Maybe it's more efficient, or it use a closer server?
