PCIE Ethernet feels weird

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

Hello,
I am experiencing weird behavior when I plug PCIE card and turn off my onboard LAN controller (Realtek 8125B) in bios.

So when I use onboard Realtek my mouse is very fast and responsive, game is just faster but also there is some type of desync and enemies are killing me in 0.001s and moving very fast that I can't track them.

Some time ago I ordered Intel I210-T1 to check If things get better. When I plug PCIE card and turn off my onboard LAN controller my mouse feels very heavy and game is slow but enemies are moving normal and im not getting peeked like ferrari.

Is there anything that I can try to fix the heavy mouse feeling?
That's weird. But it's not unprecedented.

Sometimes the onboard Ethernet is better, and sometimes the PCIe Ethernet is better.

There are thousands of reasons why this is the case (mostly external and unsolvable, some internal and improveable), so it's hard to troubleshoot this type of issue. It could be some algorithm kicking on in the game too.

Don't believe him, he says your problem is 99% unrelated to EMI. So what else could it be?
