    Unable to get gigabit speeds on Windows, but works fine on Linux


    I recently had my PC upgraded to and Ethernet connection, but I'm not getting the speeds I should. Speedtest says I'm getting ~150Mb/s down, while my friend's pc is getting ~700Mb/s. We've tested using his laptop with the same cable, booting in safe mode, and using different cables.

    What really puzzles me though is when we booted Pop!_OS from a USB drive, I ended up getting comparable speeds to my friend's machine. It seems like a Windows issue, but we haven't been able to figure out exactly what's causing it. Has anyone had a similar experience before?

    Windows 10 With Gigabit Internet, Updates Lost Speed

    Hello

    I'm currently having some strange problems with internet speeds on my main Windows 10 machine. I have gigabit internet services but have only been able to get more more then 400mbps rather then the normal 800 - 960mbps.

    This machine is custom built using Cat6a cable wired direct to router.

    - I have confirmed router is on newest firmware and tired different ports

    - I have Trend Micro antivirus on this computer and done scans for virus as well as spyware with Malwarebytes

    - Have done the steps online listed for Windows updates and bandwidth limiter

    - Confirmed latest NIC driver

    - Disabled all startup items to see if any change

    - On a fresh install of Windows I will have amazing speeds until the system does the updates.

    I have confirmed with another computer wired that speeds are good without any issues. If it helps I do have a ASUS ROG motherboard. Running Windows 10 Pro. Any help on this would be great or if someone else has experienced an issue like this.

    Thanks in Advance

    Wyatt

    Unable to get gigabit speeds on Windows, but works fine on Linux

    Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

    I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.
