Title: Killer Ethernet sucks?
Post by: BrokenGQ on February 25, 2016, 04:26:49 am
Z170x gaming 7, 6700k i7, GTX 970 SSC

What's up with the Killer Ethernet being added into these cards? I can't seem to ping less than 400 in any game when I'm hooked into it. Tried playing with the controller, updating drivers, still sucks. Use the Intel port and I ping less than 40 in my favorite games, which is perfect for me so I'll just run that happily. My question is: if it's supposed to be all the hype, why is it so awful for me? I was stoked to try it out when I got my PC, and all I got was the worlds worst lag.

I prefer and use intel myself, however, I don't have poor performance from the Killer 2nd NIC on my Z97.  I have it connected to a NAS, so I'm not gaming with it.  Suggest you try a different cable and/or driver, if available.
