10Gtek 10Gb PCI-E NIC Network Card, Quad SFP+ Port, with Original Intel X710-BM1 Controllers, PCI Express Ethernet LAN Adapter Support Windows Server/Linux/VMware ESXi, Compare to Intel X710-DA4

This card is easy and powerful. It comes with a PC case bracket and a server-style bracket which fit my HYTE case perfectly. One hurdle is the Win11 driver install, and since I have 2 ports, I had to install the driver for both of them. Use the Device Manager "update driver" process. I assume if you are buying this level of hardware, you have some idea of what you are doing... Download the Intel Win10 family drivers, I'd go for the complete set option. After extraction, find the PROXGB>Winx64>NDI565 folder, hit enter. Yes, the NDI565 folder (completely non-intuitive, I know...). Viola NIC recognized, do this for all ports in the DM. Happy networking.

La tarjeta funciona perfectamente a 10 Gb

The 10Gtek 10Gb PCI-E NIC with the Intel X540-BT1 controller is an outstanding network upgrade for anyone needing fast, stable, and reliable 10-gig connectivity. Installation was quick and seamless — plug it into a PCIe slot, install the drivers, and it’s instantly recognized. The Intel X540 chipset is known for its reliability, and this card absolutely lives up to that reputation. From a performance standpoint, it’s excellent. I consistently achieve full 10GbE speeds during large file transfers, virtualization workloads, and NAS-to-PC operations. Latency is extremely low, and there’s zero packet loss or connection instability. The onboard controller handles offloading efficiently, reducing CPU load and keeping system performance smooth even during heavy data transmission. Thermals are well-managed too — the heatsink keeps the card cool, and I haven’t experienced any throttling or heat-related issues. The RJ45 port is sturdy and compatible with Cat6a/Cat7 for maximum throughput. For home labs, servers, workstation builds, or high-speed content workflows, this NIC is a top-tier option at an excellent value. Enterprise-level hardware, flawless stability, and true 10Gb performance.

Só conseguir fazer funcionar no 10G na 5ª formatação com windows 10 no 11 esquece. Recomendo 21H1 e anteriores para ficar estável apesar de funcionar na 22H2 com oscilações 1000/10g. obs. coloquem ventoinha! A X550 funciona bem no 11 23H2 e anteriores e é a próxima que vou adquirir.

Adjusting my review, great company to buy from, they worked with until the issue was resolved, I would buy from them again. Original review; 10Gtek Doesn’t provide support on their web site for the card, no drivers and no firmware updates, card went into protected stats and I can’t reset it.
