Ive been googling around regarding this subject, and while the general consensus says not to bother going with a dedicated LAN card (unless its made by realtek because their just junk) Theres not actually any outstanding reasons why not to get a dedicated card apart from it maybe being a waste of money & space.
Quite a lot of the mid-high end motherboards these days come with a decent built in Intel nic but do you think getting a dedicated nic is worthwhile?
Im running a gigabit LAN, i regularly transfer files over between my PC and NAS, but im also a gamer and getting lower latency is always an added bonus.
the built in nic is a Intel 82579V which I have had no problems with so far, its fast enough for gaming, fast enough for data transfers and pretty much anything require but im still trying to find ways where i can squeeze out every last ounce of advantage wherever I can and dedicated nic's are something I haven't touched in a LOOOOOOONG time.
If i were to get a dedicated nic it would be a Intel EXPI9301CTBLK PRO1000
So I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
And yes - I know that having a dedicated nic can make very little performance if nothing at all when it comes to gaming as I have observed over the years with Bigfoot's Killer Nic.
Worth it? Yes or no?
::EDIT::
Also reading through quite a few user feedback/reviews on newegg about the same dedicated Intel Nic and reviews are quite positive. with most people stating that their internet browsing feels more responsive, pages load up faster, faster downloads & Uploads etc etc and one of the reviewers even has a Asus Sabertooth AMD board. Lots of mishmash of platforms Z77, X79 etc etc - reviews are quite positive
