It is not about transfer, its about CPU. Ehternet cards can eat up to 60% to 80% (More like half that or probably even less with current CPU's) during hi activity / transfer rates. The point of the board is to offload your CPU just like your soundcard (or should I say - some sound cards!

) does or your video card.

So, do you know any multiplayer computer game that causes high network activity (unless you're hosting a server for a lot of players)?
