GPU shack is geat and they have great customer service and a 2 year warranty Here's a performance comparison between the 260x and the 7950 boost
I would buy the HIS 7950 boost on GPU shack for $111.20 if you use the promo code "HIS20" on checkout. It's usually better to spend ~$20 on something like the TP-LINK TL-WN822N or this guy from panda wireless which are cheaper and will perform better than the onboard wifi The onboard wifi on a lot of mobo's tends to not be worth it imo for the extra price. The region change did not work for me, but did for many others, so that's the only reason why I mention it. After change, restart Steam and try downloads again.
Go to Steam > Settings > Download > Download Region > Change this to any region WELL AWAY from your current one, which is typically the one closest to you.If none of that works, the only other option I'd suggest to you that I didn't see listed here already is changing your download region in Steam. Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings > Right click your built in LAN port > Disable > Now make sure you can connect with the new adapter > Restart Steam and try downloading updates again.With the USB adapter installed, make sure you are using it.I use it for my Chromebook in areas with only LAN access.
In this case, this one should do just fine.
To fix the situation, I swapped over to my secondary WLAN card and, go figure, update downloads started working just fine again with no corruptions of any kind.
In any case, it turned out to be my primary WLAN card. My problem was similar to yours in so much that attempting to download updates would either corrupt the game, or end up with saying the download was corrupt. I run a Wifi setup because where I'm located I am not physically close to my router for LAN. Despite what others have said, for me it was a hardware (or firmware) issue. I kinda had a problem like this a while ago, and it took me quite some time to determine what was going on, which, as it turns out, wasn't related to Steam or CSGO. I suggest looking for raspberry pi compliant dongles as raspberry pi usually run linux and anything compliant with them should work with linux without any issue. Note: I'm American so the links here are for the US market, still this should give you some idea of where to start if things dont work. Sure now if a dongle is necessary there are a few that offer Linux support OOTB. Kubuntu picked it up and plugged and played it.
Oh and my last computer had a proprietary NIC Windows didn't recognize it and I had to install drivers. Problem is that Linux is only 3% of the market and they can't support everything out of the box. I realize that you are stuck with the NIC that's built into your system unless you want to add a compatible USB Nic and that's frustrating. Actually seems faster than my built in ethernet.īy the way Kubuntu recognized every device including my printer that was connected to the system. Card was instantly recognized and clicked on the correct Wireless, inputted Password.
