What is wrong or the bad performance with the 99.9 compared to the 24.1?

Yes as Fernando said
v12.15.24.1 is better. also has lower latency

I tried to run the update driver thru Device Manager & noticed v12.15.23.8 is out.

Isn't it v12.15.23.9 dated10/26/2016? The latest properly working Intel Ethernet driver is still v12.15.24.1 dated 11/27/2016.

Intel® Ethernet Adapter Connections v22.7.1

Intel® Ethernet Connection I218-V
Driver Date: 21st March 2017
Driver Version: 12.15.25.6

Hello :) Here are my system specs: Windows 7 x64 and Asus X99-A II which has I218-V chipset and I'd like to install the lastest / most suitable drivers for it.

My mainboard's webpage has Intel Gigabit Ethernet Driver in two versions: 20.5.51.0 for my Windows 7 and 20.5.150.0 for Windows 10.

I couldn't find any of them on official Intel's webpage to compare - closest numbers I've found were v20.4.1 and v20.7 and when I click on any of them they points to v22.7.1 as "the latest one": https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...r-for-Windows-7-

Question 1: Is v22.7.1 right one for my system? Or should I install these v20.5.X.X from my mainboard webpage?

Question 2: Is v22.7.1 better or worse than previous one, v22.6? I noticed that latest versions aren't always "the best one" as it was posted here:

These were the reasons, why I think, that the Intel Ethernet driver v12.15.24.1 dated 11/27/2016 may be better than the v12.15.99.9 dated 12/21/2016:
1. My personal experience after having compared them both.
2. The big jump from v24.1 to v99.9 within less than 1 month.
3. The fact, that the latest Intel Ethernet Connections CD v22.1, which was released by Intel in March 2017, doesn't contain the Intel Ethernet drivers v12.15.99.9.

@Lex:
First of all you should not mix the versions of Intel's All-in-One Ethernet Packages incl. installer named "Intel Ethernet Connection CD" (latest version: 22.7.1, relased in September 2017) and the version of the included Intel Ethernet drivers themselves (latest version: 12.15.25.6712 dated 07/12/2017).

Ah, ok, I didn't quite get it before but I understand now: v22.7.1 is the latest version for Intel's package which includes driver v12.15.25.6712 for my LAN chipset.
So a few latest packages can still have the same driver version inside?

Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag #26

Yes, but you don't need the 343 MB sized complete "Intel Ethernet Connection CD" v22.7.1, but just the included 370 KB sized Win7 x64 driver v12.15.25.6712.

To make it as easy as possible for you, I have attached it.

By the way: I do not recommend to install the much older driver, which is still offered by your motherboard manufacturer. These Companies usually do not test all the latest drivers with older mainboards.

According to my own experiences with my Z170 system these latest Intel Ethernet drivers are the best for modern Intel chipset systems.

As you may noted I included link which was not for "entire package" but only for the part of it, for Windows 7 x64. But indeed, the package inside isn't 343MB but still is "quite big": 57MB for Windows 7 x64 versions.
Is it the smallest one I can get "officially" from Intel website?

I unpacked your rar file and PROWinx64.exe (which was downloaded from Intel website).
There are similar filenames as yours in PROWinx64.exe\PRO1000\Winx64\NDIS62\ directory - but the content is "a little" different.
I found out that your e1d62x64.inf file has that text inside:
"DriverVer = 07/12/2017,12.15.25.6712"
And e1d62x64.inf file from latest PROWinx64.exe package has this one, "older"?:
"DriverVer = 03/21/2017,12.15.25.6"
Does that mean that latest 22.7.1 package does not include latest driver for my LAN chipset?

---

@Fernando: Thank you for "two yeses". :)

But, I must say, the second "yes" was not expected one as it seems very strange to me that Intel does not want to distribute it on their webpage.
Can I ask what's the source of this newest driver so I could easier find it and update in future?
