However, I was suggested to test disabling Interrupt Moderation & Flow Control, so I did and found a big improvement after disabling both features. I also set Transmit & Receive buffers to 512, and set affinity to one core. Running incredible now. Feel free to share any other tips you may have figured out.

i disabled interrupt and changed buffer servers feel real nice now i have to wait till tomorrow when the servers are running at full steam ahead to see if thats what was causing my problem.

turning off interrupt moderation wouldnt disable remote desktop connection would it?

Answer - No. I thought i could not log back into my box i was pretty freaked.

I've also turned these two features off and checked my transmit buffers. I will test and see if anything is better, thank you all in advance!
