I have a pcie 2.0 x1 slot on an old DDR 3 system(board ethernet 100Mbits). Will any 2.5bgit ethernet card simply work without any considerations? I've seen them for around 13 dollars on new egg. Not sure if there is anything to consider like if they can use all the lanes both ways or not.
My on board is 100mbit. And I'm using what I assume is old ethernet 5 house wireing(it could be 6 though.). Are there any limits to this. I use At@T but I'm not sure what the service speed is atm.
I'm currently playing FF7 ever crisis and I'm noticing it loads forever. It's not the CPU as it barely spikes at 100% randomly (barely touches 100% and doesn't flatten out.) and it's not the 10603gb as it doesn't use over 50% vram and much less gpu usage. I'm assuming it's the internet speed unless the game just loads that slowly from their servers. I still have to look at the max speeds and my current plan. Did At@T go all fiber plans. If so the minimal speed is 300mbit now.
The problems is the game takes around 10-20 seconds whenever it loads a new screen. I can't tell if it's the game or the internet connection.
I was looking at something like this:

I'm watching the CPU more carefully and starting to think that is the problem afterall. Although it's hard to tell.
