Description along with AI in "Ask A Question" stated that it comes with A usb with the correct drivers needed. Not TRUE! Had to scan the QR code on the metal bracket of card to be taken to the Marvell website then sort out all the drivers available and hope that I grabbed the right one. The card does work well but I took off 2 star because Description and AI's answer about the USB was incorrect. and another 1 star because the driver is in 2 zipped folders with all kinds of stuff in them that make it so confusing and is listed under "Marvell_AQtion_x64_Win_ver3.1.10.0_signed" Nothing anywhere or in any folders was named "Marvell AQC113" Which is what would be common sense name to use so you know it's the correct driver for the card. Good Luck!EDIT:Removed leftover stars because the card stopped working 3 Days later, The card vanished from my PC! It's still connected where I originally placed it however, windows 11 pro will not recognize it! I spent about 3 hours troubleshooting it trying everything, different slot, uninstalling and reinstalling via OS and physically reloading drivers, everything that I could try all to no avail. This card that was working fine 3 days ago is just not recognized in my PC/OS anymore. I have now returned it for a full refund! Time to look for another brand... Meanwhile what a waste of time!

Bought a few different types of these two from mellanox which failed, decided to give old team blue a chance and it works great with Proxmox, I'm happy boy again.

Easy to install into my pc however it is not plug and play ready. At the time I got it, the QR code which redirected me to the Realtek site was having issues, I had to manually search it on google for the drivers

I've got two of these Marvell-based cards from NICGIGA running in a server PC and couldn't be more satisfied. They were a cinch to install. The drivers (available under Marvell's Public Drivers page) were easy to find and update; they work with Windows 10 as well as 11. Both cards—purchased a year apart, so the build has changed slightly (see photo)—run cool, which is a rarity for 10GbE networking. And the performance is great: iPerf consistently measures 9.49 Gbits/sec between 10G-capable LAN devices.

Après réception, testé sur mon Pc et 2 autres, Config à bas d'AMD Ryzen 9950X et 7900x, la carte ne fonctionne pas du tout ! Quelques connexions aléatoires à 1gb mais aucun 10gb atteint, les trois PC sont sur des câbles Cat8 et branché sur Freebox Ultra via SFP en RJ45 ! Testé aussi sur mon switch TPLink en 20gb, ne fonctionne pas non plus ! Je vais contacter l'acheteur pour retour matériel et remboursement, je suis déçu de l'achat, j'aurai dû partir sur autres choses qune carte à base d'Intel X540-T1 ! Bref mauvaise carte et fonctionnement HS...

Was rebuilding my home network, bought 3 of these and have been pleased. My media boxes run Ubuntu, my primary desktop dual boots SuSE Linux and Windows 11. These cheap little cards work with every distribution out of the box. Tried Fedora 40, no problems.Speed is good, stable connection, no complaints.

This little PCI card packs a nice punch! I’m in the process of re-wiring and redoing my network setup to prepare for an internet upgrade in the future. I’m currently at a 1GB speed but plan on updating to 2.5GB later.Easy installation and works with the drivers that Windows 10/11 finds for you. It will boost your current speed as well. I was getting around 700MBPS on average on my 1GB Ethernet port built into my ASUS motherboard. Once I starting using this Ethernet card, my speeds are consistently close to max. I’m getting around 950MBPS consistently now!I bought two of these so far and highly recommend it if your Internet speeds are more than 1GB and you want to utilize all that extra bandwidth. Or if you have 1GB speeds and your current Ethernet port is not quite getting its max

Out of the box this was not running at the 2.5Gb speeds (even though Windows reported it as running 2.5Gb) it was staying around 900mb with iperf3 test between 2 other machines on network that both have 2.5Gb NICs.Using the QNAP 2.5Gbe unmanaged switch for 3 PCs that all have 2.5Gbe NICs. They are segmented on their own VLAN coming from pfsense firewall appliance which also has 2.5Gbe.After updating the drivers from the Realtek site as per the pamphlet that came in the box along with a small form factor screw driver and 2 screws (using case screw to match black aesthetic) and the 2 I/O plates, then it unlocked the full menu in the interface's controller properties. Also was getting closer to the 2.5Gb speeds on local network, RDP feels smoother and stable connections without drops.There is some irregularity in the iperf3 tests though. Not getting the irregularities from 3rd PC to main PC so not sure if it's driver related or just an issue with the Realtek chipset of this card.Overall though satisfied with the price to performance and hope there will be future driver updates, not counting on it though. For what I need it to do, be a stable RDP connection it seems to be holding strong and helps not feel laggy like it did with the default 1Gb port on the X370 Taichi Mobo. This is an improvement.If you do want a blacked out PCB and the bright green LED isn't visible while doing work then this is a good 2.5Gbe card. Also make sure you get the latest driver from Realtek, out of the box is not fully unlocked.Happy packets :)

I'm amazed by this NIC. For as inexpensive as it was, I expected a generic looking corrugated cardboard box with inkjet level labeling with the card wrapped in nothing but an antistatic bag, if that much. Instead I got a very well packaged card with antistatic foam, a low profile bracket, extra screws for the bracket, and an antistatic cover for the slot connector. In addition to the great packing, the card looks spectacular, easily nice enough for even the most appearance conscious to have in their windows showcase. Even the brackets are painted very nicely in black. The heatsink is attached by screws, not the cheap pushpins or soldered pins, so it's easy to clean up if needed. The surface of the back of the card is coated such that it seems dust would clean off easily, though I have no way to test that at the moment. The PCB is good quality, and it looks like it would be reliable for a good, long time.If only they made 10Gb NICs...

The product works, but my tower lives in my bedroom -- and holy moly they put one of the brightest blue LEDs on this thing that _CONSTANTLY_ blinks! I had to grab some air-dry clay and cover the LED because it was so obnoxiously bright.
