1Gbe Intel and 2.5Gbe Realtek + AX201 wifi are winning networking combinations right now.I tried to install the Sophos XG on the ZOTAC ZBOX MI549 but the OS can’t find the realtek network card so I decided to install an ESXi server to the hardware to run Sophos XG in a virtual machine.

Now you know there's no reason to hold back on account of the NIC. In terms of the board, the Tomahawk is excellent value and performance. Intel probably ended up patching the problem later in a new release - it's up to 1.0.1.8 now.

A few months ago, a bunch of users on various Asus and Gigabyte boards had unusable ethernet due to the faulty drivers on 1.0.1.4-1.0.1.7 and had to rollback to 1.0.1.3.

But so far, it's also been Intel 2.5 that's been having issues on the driver side. It was the early Intel i225 2.5Gbe NICs that had serious problems with throughput, but Intel has been putting out a number of hardware steppings that should be showing up in motherboards round about now. All of them work fine at up to Gigabit connections. I have the RTL8125B in my B550 mATX, the RTL8125BG (the weird 'Dragon' variant) in my B550 ITX, and a tossup of i211 and i217 in every other older desktop I still use. The 'Realtek bad' comments were all from the 1Gbe Realtek era, where the latency and throughput actually wasn't that great compared to Intel at the time. Regarding CPU usage, we're pairing 6/8/12/16 core CPUs with the boards that have either of these NICs like, come on. On a strictly 1Gbe connection like you've said, I don't think you can go wrong with either 1Gbe Intel or 2.5Gbe Realtek. That was an issue back in the 1GHz Pentium days, but today it doesn't matter at all. But with any modern processor, you won't even notice the CPU usage. So you can have your home server on the 10Gb/s port, and all the other computers pulling from it at 1Gb/s.Īs for the Realtek having higher CPU usage, yes they do. And there are switches with 2x10Gb/s ports and 8x1Gb/s ports for under $200. Heck, I just picked up a 4-port 10Gb/s switch for right around $300. After all, the multi-gigabit switches are getting cheaper. Even if you can't use it right now because you only have 1Gb/s switches, getting the 2.5Gb/s NIC now sets you up for the future. So they get to advertise 2.5Gb/s, and the customer is happy they are getting an improvement. It is my understanding that the Realtek 2.5Gb/s is about the same price as the Intel 1Gb/s right now. They are either paying for the Intel 1Gb/s or the Realtek 2.5Gb/s. I assume it only has the single 2.5Gb/s NIC because they have to pay for a NIC one way or the other.

SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 1TB (One now and another one later) Mobo: MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi (Got a VRM that's you usually find on a more expensive board acording to Buildzoid). The setup I was thinking about since AMD ain't gonna release X670 for Zen 3 for all I read so my new setup would look like this:

I been looking because I am going to get PCI-E 4.0 for NVME speed which is really the biggest benefit of PCI-E 4.0 and after that graphics card. So I been searching for the past few days to see if I can find a good arguement why almost all of MSI's X570 board below the ACE board got Realtek 8125B 2.5G only and not a Intel gigabit nic instead but I cannot really find anything good because Realtek usually got a higher CPU usage than Intel and I don't have any 2.5G switch, router and I cannot get it in my fiberbox anyway and a Intel I211AT insert nic with a green pcb would not look great in my system.

I am looking for advice because I am not willing to pay like £342 for MSI MEG X570 ACE just to get a Intel I211AT Gigabit nic when the MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi that have a awesome VRM for the price of about £195 which should be great for my current AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and upgrade for ZEN3. I am not sure if this is the right place in the forum for this but here I go.
