Review: Great little NIC - No fuss with windows 11. Installed the card and it just works. Purchased the 2.5gb model and speeds are as advertised. I also like the black finish since I have a black case and motherboard. Very inexpensive card. I can’t speak to the longevity of the product since I haven’t had it that long.
Review: It's a Little inconsistent - 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 :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wild name, but a decent and inexpensive 10GbE card
*by P***4 on May 26, 2026*

I bought this as a replacement after the built-in 10GbE card on my Asus ProArt motherboard failed (a frustrating, known issue). While it wasn't strictly plug-and-play, grabbing the driver from Intel's website was simple enough and hardly a dealbreaker. I did have to install it manually via Device Manager because the Intel setup wizard failed for some reason, but it wasn't too difficult. My only real complaint is that it doesn't seem quite as fast as my motherboard's original 10GbE port. I'm averaging about 600 up and down, whereas I was getting closer to 900 with the built-in card. That said, for the price, it's a great fix. It runs cool, feels rock-solid, and has been completely reliable. It got my workstation back up and running without breaking the bank.
