We will be using LAN Speed Test to measure how well the integrated Intel ethernet connection works. Between the two test systems, is a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 (R7000) wireless router to enable the connections between the Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 test system and another PC on the network.
LAN Speed Test reported a speed of 911Mbps Read and 882Mbps Write. Both of these are within a decent tolerance of the maximum throughput for a Gigabit connection. I have seen write speeds around 3% higher than the score we received at this point. However, keeping in mind the major changes to the test system a loss of 3% write speeds over the network isn’t a problem.
