Finding PC's Network top rated speed

[octester]

I'm gonna eventually have access to fiber internet and I don't know if my PC's ethernet port is capable of handling gigabit speeds. Does anyone know of a way to find the speed of the jack on the back of the motherboard.

If it's needed, the board is the Asustek P7H55-M LX, and the CPU is a core I7 860

It is compatible with 2.5G internet according to the realtek internet controller.

Thanks, I looked on the support page for it, but they didn't have anything listed about the specs

I found it on https://icecat.biz/en-au/p/asus/p7h55-m+lx/motherboards-p7h55-m+lx-5857091.html if you want to check it out.

It's a 1 gbps network card, it will do 1 gbps download and upload...what more do you need to know?

Realtek are awful, they don't mention all the chipset names as the RTL8112L appears to be based on the RTL8111 yet its not even listed on their drivers page at all so you have to be psychic to know.

The RTL8125 appears to be the 2.5Gbit version, so this one is purely Gigabit which it even says in your screenshot so I'm not sure where you got 2.5Gbit from.  I'd be shocked if any modern motherboard came with slower than that.

Yes a Gigabit NIC will work in a 2.5Gbit port, at 1.0Gbit only.
