Which driver of this Network Adapter give the best?

The Driver from Motherboard Website Network Adapter Driver

or
The Latest Driver from the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller driver site?
 
Solution
your motherboard drivers will work fine.

other things will factor more in your network performance and drivers might be the last of them.
You always want to try the driver from the motherboard first. Most times ethernet drivers are pretty stable and there are very few updates so many time they will be the same. On older motherboards though you may not find win10 drivers so you have to use the ones from realtek site.
 
Unless there is some kind of bug they should work the same. There are no extra features that can make ethernet run faster. When it runs properly it will run at 1gbit up and down. If you have found some so called "gaming" accelerator that is all marketing hype.
