Just a quick question I hope. Do you guys use the windows drivers dated 2015, or the download drivers from the AsRock website dated 2022. And why if you don't mind. Tried the ones from Intel and they won't install correctly this is for the killer NIC. This is for gaming. Thank you. |

Generally the only time I install vendor drivers (intel/AMD/Realtek etc) is when the manufacturer (ASRock in this case) drivers are very outdated, particularly when there are manufacturer optimizations involved, such as with the killer NIC. That is just me though, mileage will vary depending on specific use case. -------------

Yeah the Microsoft default drivers are very old from 2015 so I think I will go with the vender "AsRock drivers that are from 2022. Appreciate the advice. |
