Steam, green gaming man, epic, etc. multi player stuff maybe, I don’t think I’ve tried that but for single payer, I’ve seen no obvious lag unless maybe use WiFi instead of ethernet.
What cat is your ethernet cable?
The latency added by a Cat 6 cable itself is imperceptible, typically adding only about 0.5 microseconds (0.0005 ms) over a full 100-metre run. For comparison, electricity travels through the cable at roughly 200 million metres per second, meaning it would take a cable over 100 miles long just to add 1 millisecond of “ping”.
So cat6 which a lot of people use some new imperceptible. Maybe there’s an issue else where on your network
It could well be the rendering step on my PC. Maybe the router is a bit old too. I can’t remember whether cat 5 or 6 but as you say it’s unlikely to be the cable in isolation. It was playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

That’s cool, where do you buy your games?
Even streaming from my desktop to TV downstairs using ethernet is noticeable to me! It’s alright for some games but not great for fast stuff.
