You lost me at “latest” and “enthusiast” in the same breath as “gigabit”. Bring on the 10g y’all!
(That’s a knock on Rivet, not you HH 🙂 )

I'm surprised this "Killer" series has survived as long as it did. I've never known anyone who felt they were worth getting.

I have Verizon FiOS gigabit fiber internet in my home and my motherboard (Asus Rampage VI Extreme) has a 10g LAN port but I still hook my ethernet cable up to the Intel V-219 1g LAN port instead. Should I even bother with the 10g Aquantia LAN port? Its not like I'll get any faster speeds, right?

Yeah, and my old motherboard. MSI X99A Godlike Gaming Carbon had a Killer 1g E-2500 LAN port and I noticed no difference in speeds or latency at gigabit speeds. I think the reason the Killer has survived this long isn't because its better but because its an equal alternative to Intel.

can't they do us all a favour and announce their immediate liquidation.

My motherboard has a Killer and Intel NIC. I get slightly better pings on Intel vs the Killer with the Killer software installed. I just use Intel and uninstalled the Killer software.
