Networking Performance
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)
The ASUS X99-S equips a single Intel Gigabit NIC for all of its networking. Its performance is solid and more consistent than Killer NIC solutions, with a smaller CPU usage penalty too.
