You are lucky that you where able to capture that high amount of data. Wireshark shows you the Layer2 throughput. So for example if your frames are 64Byte long, then your maximum possible Layer2 throughput will be 761 MBit/s but on Layer1 it represents 1Gbit/s.

Furthermore it is possible, that Wireshark has dropped some frames while capturing. Have you tried the same with tcpdump or windump?
