Okay, so let me start this thread off by saying that I have no problems with the other machines on my network. I've nailed my problem down to my ethernet.

I have an XFX NForce 780i SLI mobo and lately I've been getting horrible lag in any game I play, normally with my ping hitting as high as 400 in a server where anything over 30 was abnormal. My other pcs are fine. I've tried enabling, disabling, I've googled until my fingers bled and I cannot find the solution to this problem.

Normally I download well over 500 kb/s. I am lucky to get 250 kb/s and then the connection will sometimes randomly drop, or the speeds will decrease significantly. It seems as if the more load I put on it (multiple downloads or bittorrenting) the slower it goes.

Reinstalling windows did nothing, neither did updating drivers/uninstalling drivers and going with older drivers. I've even tried letting it use the windows driver that installed on its own to no avail. I never had this problem until I upgraded my motherboard drivers to version 15.51, and have used driver sweeper to remove it and still no luck.

Sorry for the wall of text, and I hope you guys can figure out what I'm saying. My head hurts I've been dealing with this crap almost since the day the 15.51 mobo drivers came out.

Have you tried using a discrete NIC? Or do you have none around the house?

RyanJaymz

The only other nic I have around is ancient and I cant even find drivers for windows xp for it, let alone Win7 64 bit lol.

I have a Linksys Wireless G PCI adapter in my other machine running windows 7, i pulled it out and tried to put it in this one and it installs, but wont enable.

Have you taken a peek at your bios to see if any green ethernet options have been enabled? How about the device properties for the NIC? Sometimes there are power saving options that are enabled by default which can negatively impact performance.

Did you by chance flash your bios?

If not, check what bios you have and see if there's been a revision to correct any 'bugs' like this?

Edit: Double post.. site is REALLY slow right now for me.

Must be server maintanence time? I'm getting some lag here too.

I've checked the power saving options and turned them off. As far as I could tell there werent any options for the ethernet port in my bios. Bios is updated to P08 or whatever was the most recent.

tNok85

Should check.

RyanJaymz

its P08.
