    The Point Is - it works better :)

    I just did a restore from MSI BurnRecovery for my GT80 SLI-263, I had mangled my Windows install over the last couple of months by trying all sorts of fun stuff, and finally I needed to start with a clean slate - back to the out of the box MSI Windows 8.1 install.

    And, I found once again that the Killer Suite that came with my GT80 wouldn't give me full performance, even on ethernet. I was getting 35-50Mbps instead of 190Mbps.

    So I installed the latest version available on Killer Suite download, the version you posted, and my speeds went to maximum again :)

    I should mention that I also took the time, very little time really, to Set the Killer Network Manager settings correctly, and I am not getting any lag or skips or any anomalies in throughput via Ethernet - I haven't tried Wifi yet.

    All you/we need to do is to correctly set the Upload and Download Mbps speeds in the Network Manager Network Settings (green square):

    Maybe Killer has it working well enough I don't need to uninstall the Network Manager, or the Filter Driver (Stream).

    I will post again later after using Wifi for a while.
