If you're paying for 35Mb/s and steam shows you're only downloading games at 4 - 5 MB/s, that's correct.ġMB (megabytes) is 8Mb's (Megabits), whatever speed you're paying for from your internet provider, divide that by 8 and you will have your download speed.įrom what I gather with my own similar situation and other notes, there are multiple factors that come into play, some more obvious than others.
If if it's not the hard drive launch task manager and if your cpu is at 99% - 100% then you're being bottlenecked by the amount of data your processor can handle.Īs said below, it could be an app like killer wifi and make sure you're reading the right download speed. If you're downloading a game and you have a slow download speed compared to what you should be getting -Ĭheck to make sure it's being downloaded into an M.2 NVME hard drive, I have a i9 9900k and if i download a game on my NVME +900Mb/s / +112MB/s it will use 99% of my CPU, if you have anything less than a 9900k i'm going to guess it will limit your download speed too. If you are downloading it via hdd it will cap at around 15MB/s to 30MB/s (120Mb/s to 240Mb/s) if you download it via Nvme it wont cap and you can download it at the full 900Mb/sĮdit: i also learnt the your CPU can limit the download to. Steam caps your download speed to your hard drives write speed (speeds will and do vary drastically). also proved it (without realising) via the imgur posts.
