OK, so this is a strange issue. I have Gigabit Intel NIC in my system, and it seems that as CPU usage rises and traffic on the PCIe bus increases due to write operations to the NVMe SSD, throughput drops on the NIC.
For instance, my Internet speeds are 500/500 but if I tell Steam to download a game one would expect it to keep downloading it as fast as possible, balls to the walls until the download is done. But that doesn't seem to be the case. It drops down multiple times during the download which I can only contribute to higher CPU usage and/or high traffic on the PCIe bus.
Is there anything I can do to optimize this?
