Review: Essential to future proofing your system - I recently upgraded the network at my home. I ended up wiring all rooms to Cat8, and installed a Wifi 7 Mesh based on 2 Eero 7 Max routers. I know what people say: it's too fast, I'll never need it, etc. However, if I'm spending days in the attic pulling and fishing network cables all over the house, I'm going to install the latest standard wiring. This way, I don't have to worry about it again, probably for decades. This card was the second to last item that needed upgrading my entire network: my PC connection. The existing port maxed at 1GB. This card was the 4th card I purchased from desertcart, by the way. And it was the best outcome. 1st try was a much cheaper alternative. It supported 10/2.5/1gb speeds on paper. However, it started having temperature issues. The card would get so hot, it would start dropping the connection. I was worried about fire hazards as well. 2nd try was a more expensive alternative (the entire card was covered with a nice shiny red heatsink!). However, it only supported 10/1gb. Max 7 has 2.5gb ports as well. Why settle for slower? 3rd try was a generic card running on Intel chipset. It was advertised as 10/2.5/1, however, in reality, it was only 1000/100mb. The speed tests were obvious. My suggestion: go with this card. Excellent component overall. Here's a little review: 1. Good temperature distribution, heatsink is pretty large, and effective. 2. The drivers are available on the manufacturer's website. You don't need to keep searching into the depths of internet, like some intel models. 3. This card utilizes PCI Express 3.0. If you look at the market, overwhelming majority of cards are designed for 2.0 architecture. Being able to utilize 3.0 is an advantage. 4. Jumbo frames: I'm not big on this topic. If you are using NAS or Outbound VPN, I can see the advantage. My current router does not support it anyhow, but I checked the options, you can change the driver settings and utilize 16kb frames if that's what you'd like. 5. Price range.. Excellent hardware for this price point. 6. High and low profile brackets for different cases (not very useful, but thoughtful) Overall... The card works. I can get 1gb/2.5gb/10gb. The speed test result is attached for 2.5gb. I'll update the post once I receive the 10gb switch. PS: Little known issue with 10gb ports on routers and switches... Most hardware today, come with 2 ports that can support 10gb. Sounds great, right? However, the practice is a little bit different. Port 1, is used for input (from your modem) (in my case, my ISP, who can provide 8gb fiber input, so it's a must). Port 2, is used to connect your 2nd router for mesh purposes (this way, you have a 10gb backhaul, assuming you have the necessary wiring). Guess what? No port left for the PC or any other hardware. Therefore, until I buy a 10gb switch, and route the mesh through the switch, I won't be able to test 10gb on the PC. Seeing how this card handled 2.5gb, I have no reservations, I'm sure the card will outperform as I came to expect.

I've got 2 of these: one is in an Ubuntu 22.04 server (an old 4770 i7 machine) and the second and Arch Desktop (a ryzen 3900x). Both recognized the cards immediately and set their speeds appropriately with auto-negotiate enabled. Both machines are connected through a 10g copper port switch connected to an OPNsense router (1520 XeonD) with a 10g port. People trying to speed test these with file transfers are going about it the wrong way ad will never see the total throughput because of drive read/write speeds and protocol limitations of the chosen share method (i.e. SMB). The easiest and truest method to test is to run iperf3 as a server on a machine with a 10g interface, on the second machine run an iperf3 test as a client to your machine. BUT that will not really give you the actual result you want, as standard iperf3 tests are run as a single process and will probably cap out around 2-4 gigs. You need to run the client with the -P option to enable more processes, I typically use 10. Example: on the server end: iperf3 -s on the client end: iperf3 -c (ip of the server) -P 10 iperf3 -c (ip of the server) -P 10 -R That gives me the output that I would expect to see, typically in the 8.4 - 9.4 gig range. Also be sure to run it in reverse as well with the -R option the second time. The cards work exactly as intended for 10g, though admittedly I have not tried 2.5g or just standard 1g because I haven't the need to. And 5 gig is incredibly uncommon to find so I won't bother with it. I've attached 3 screenshots to show you the results of the 3 iperf3 tests I mentioned. The first pic is if you run iperf3 -c (ip of server) and caps out at 3.73g second is iperf3 -c (ip of server) -P 10 and caps at 9.34g third is iperf3 -c (ip of server) -P 10 -R and caps at 9.37g BTW I should note that I'm not actually using Cat6a for any of these machines. I'm actually using standard cat5e, but the lengths are less than 10 feet. If I had to go longer or started to notice issues, I'd up it to cat6a but it's not always necessary.
