Hi, I recently switched to a 1 Gbps internet connection but still couldn’t hit even 900 Mbps. My best result was around 650 Mbps on a CAT8 cable. It turned out my ISP was the issue, as the test engineer’s newer Core i7 machine reached 940 Mbps. I’m using a Core i7-4790K and can run most apps smoothly, but this is the first time I’m questioning its performance. Could my CPU be too slow for gigabit speeds? Thanks.

Your problem isn't related to your CPU; the NIC is likely the cause.

You're experiencing issues with both network cards on your ASUS Z97 Mark 1 not achieving gigabit speeds.

I can achieve gigabit speeds using a $10 SBC and a Celeron laptop. The issue might be related to your testing approach, the NIC, router, or the cable.

Testing speeds involves checking performance metrics. Running a Linux live disk can help identify if the issue lies with the operating system configuration.

I'll attempt to measure the connection speed using a live disk.

i7 4770k running at 4,4ghz with gigabit link 1000/230 offered by Vodafone Italy works fine. Downloading a single file via FTP or torrent isn’t an issue, but on Steam it performs quickly until decompression starts.

There might be an issue affecting your Windows 10 performance. Try identifying what's limiting the bandwidth.

I faced a comparable issue with Windows firewall, specifically real-time scanning of downloads. For testing purposes, consider turning off all firewall functionalities that scan files or folders.
