Question Realtek vs Intel Ethernet Controller

[vwcrusher]

So I am trying to decide between that Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite and the Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus motherboards. I don't need WiFi and am not an RGB enthusiast with a good hardwired ethernet connection. Mostly I will be running one application at a time. I do use Lightroom and some occasional gaming. The system also includes the 3700X, a couple of NVMe SSDs and 32GB of RAM.

Am I overthinking this?

My motherboard came with dual gigabit Ethernet. One Realtek and one Intel Ethernet controller. I never noted any differences between the two.

Thanks for the reply; Guess there's an ASUS mb in my future.
