Network

For network performance, I run a network test in Passmark to another PC on our network. Our old tests, including the Gaming 5 and Asus board were all run testing to our event server. Well sadly we dropped that server and had to change things up and test to an Intel NUC. With the NUC only running on an SSD and being a faster machine overall the results are a little higher than we saw before. The important thing to take from these tests is the Killer e2200 NIC in all 5 MSI boards actually performs extremely well in our tests. I have been critical of the Killer NICs in the past because I have had multiple die on me but I haven’t had a problem over the last few years with them after the Qualcomm purchase. I don’t trust them completely, but I am starting to warm up to them.
