This just gets better.

No Killer software installed. Only drivers, and only the older 3.XXXX drivers, from MSI.

With my current setup, using wired, I'm only getting half my normal gigabit speeds. Since this is a new install, I decided to go for broke, and force uninstalled both NICs, telling Windows to attempt to remove the (Killer) drivers, and then verifying this was the case (before rebooting) by also using RAPR to force remove the drivers.

Upon reboot, my drivers are now stock Windows Drivers:

And my speeds are back up to snuff.

Go figure lol.

I know, right? lol.

But the stock drivers are crap too. If I do back to back Speedtests, the second (and following) test is capped at 100 Mbit - 200 Mbit.

It's weird AF.

A side note related to this intel driver suites:

  • 3.1524.405.6 for Killer Networking Software
The actual Driver is unchanged (from the one you already have installed with your last update). Only thing they changed is the 3.1524.405.6 for Killer Networking Software. Mentioned this because - Disabling the Killer Software/Services and running - just the driver alone (with some modifications only from the Network Adapter) - proved to be the most reliable and higher performance/stability option for quite a lot of people (myself included). That being said - if you're in same pot - installing this Updates which change/update just the Killer Networking Software - is meaningless (since it's disabled anyway).

But hey, maybe for yous - this is different - and the Killer Networking Software helps in some way. Then, i guess it's worth updating. :)
