Hi,
Brand new build: ASUS Z270-A, i7 7700K, NVMe SSD, 16GB RAM, fully updated Windows 10 Pro 64.
Recently paid ISP for faster connection. All my machines - Win 10 laptops, older i7 desktop, ... get almost 300mbps download speeds. The i219-v on the ASUS tops out at 250mbps.
Fully updated OS, BIOS, and Intel driver. I've discovered that turning off adaptive interrupt moderation and setting to medium lets me get almost the full download speed on the ASUS. All my other machines - much slower than the 7700K build - get full speed even in adaptive mode.
If I connect via the same cable and router using a cheap USB 3.0 - GigE dongle the ASUS Z270-A downloads at 300mbps so it doesn't seem to be a windows issue.
If I turn off interrupt moderation on all machines they get 250mbps but the i219-v only hits 200. I'm concerned that the interrupt moderation "fix" is masking a deeper problem with this build.
Very concerning that the "fastest" machine in the house has the slowest network performance.
Please advise,
Z.
