Realtek RTL-81xx Drivers Version 10.050.0518.2021 WHQL

thanks Tairiku , these aren't the easiest Drivers to find.

For those who only need the .inf files to install via Device Manager they are in the 1st Post.


@Brink
may I suggest this Thread be made a Sticky.

Gigabyte also has the 10.050 driver on their web site (earlier than what Station drivers had, released May 24 for most B550 motherboards like B550 Vision D-P)

edit - Note to Brink: version 10.049 or 10.49 available on MUC

Unfortunately Gigabyte is not giving the Z490-Z590 Mobos with 2.5GB Chips much support presently which is why I went looking (10.046 seemed "slow"/stuttery)

does not matter - most Gigabyte Z490 boards use Intel LAN drivers and not Realtek LAN drivers. anyways the 10.050 driver from Gigabyte worked fine on my old GA-78LMT-USB3 R2 (Socket AM3+) motherboard

Of course not... if the HW ID is correct it should work, but I am not going to scour the Gigabyte MoBo Site in the hope of finding the right one......much easier to come here :) fortunately the Realtek Chip is working for me as I have read of others having issues on some boards with it, not sure why the Eth is Realtek but the Wifi is Intel though...seems like a strange decision to go RT on my Z590 Aorus Elite AX.

It seems these latest Drivers are not actually new at least in Win10 64 bit as both the .0518 and newest .0521 downloads actually install
.0511 from May 19th. Win10 acts like it finds a new driver and says it has installed it , so I am not sure if it is a newer driver with bad .inf info or not.

this is after using the june 3rd Download from RT. which is labelled a .0521 >>>>>>>>>> x64_0521.zip <<<<<<<<<<<<
