ASRock informed us that they’ve included a new special feature by Killer called ‘Double Shot Pro’. It combines the speed of both the onboard Killer 2.5G LAN connection (2.5 Gbps) as well as the Killer Wifi 6E (2.4 Gbps), giving you a theoretical maximum output speed of 4.9 Gbps. You can check out the full how-to article here.
Killer DoubleShot Pro allows the use of both the Killer Wireless and Killer Ethernet interfaces work at the same time which will give the end user max throughput as high as 4.9 Gbps, it automatically utilizes the fastest network connection for high priority traffic, this ensures the highest priority traffic will always be put on the fastest and most reliable link.
We’ll be testing the ASRock Z590 PG Velocita Motherboard along with an Intel Core i9-11900K, 16GB DDR4-4400 ram, Gigabyte Aorus PCIE Gen4 SSD, and a GeForce RTX 2080. It’ll be interesting to see how well this system will perform, against other Z590 motherboards we’ve tested in the past. I’m expecting some decent scores in all of our benchmarks.
