Would a NIC be better than onboard ethernet ?

As the title says really, is there any benefit at all to having a card rather than using the onboard ethernet ?
I am only interested in gaming performance, all the other stuff I can live with, would it process better or wouldn't I notice any difference ?
At the momoent the onboard is Marvell on an ASUS motherboard.
It seems the NICs have more componenets on the board, compared to what you find on the mobo, just a rule of thumb comparison to try and see why there might be a difference in performance

Cheers
