Passmark PerformanceTest 8.0
The PassMark Advanced Network Test (which is part of PerformanceTest) is designed to test the data transfer rate between two computers both of which must be running PerformanceTest. One of the computers must act as the server and will sit waiting for a connection. The other computer acts as a client. It connects to the server machine and sends data to it for the duration of the test. You can download a trial version of PerformanceTest fromhere.
Ethernet (LAN)
Gigabyte’s Z97N-WiFi motherboard uses dual-Gigabit controllers, you can choose from Intel’s I218V or Qualcomm’s gigabit solution. We tested the Intel NIC as it is one of the most respected out there, based on the results it’s easy to see why.
WiFi
The Gigabyte Z97N-WiFi is labelled “WiFi” for a reason. It ships with Intel’s latest dual band AC WiFi and Bluetooth solution meaning there’s super fast 5GHz 802.11 AC WiFi performance available. If you own an older WiFi router 2.4GHz is supported too.
