The BEST 10Gbit Ethernet Card?! NICGIGA 10G! 

The "NICGIGA" card is ON SALE: amzn.to/3pAYs5a (affiliate link)

It's okay, the card IS black...

thank god

Bro getting cancelled

why　bro

Sure I can: It's a NIC card! and it's 10 GIGAbits! Right? 😅

😂😂😂

Lmao

It has been stable for me. But if you are having ping issues it could be other network components (router, modem), or your internet service, itself.

PCI-E is universal between Intel, AMD, and others. There is no special consideration for either, barring some rare incompatibility. Your motherboard has 2.5Gb Ethernet built in: Intel® 2.5GbE LAN chip (2.5 Gbit/1000 Mbit/100 Mbit) (LAN1) Realtek® 2.5GbE LAN chip (2.5 Gbit/1000 Mbit/100 Mbit) (LAN2) You need to upgrade every link in the network between your modem/ONT/termination point and your computer. So, if you have a modem, then a switch, then your computer, you might need to upgrade your modem of switch to get to 2.5Gb and a card similar to this to get to 5Gb speeds.

You do not have to disable your other one. Just don’t plug anything in it.

My provider gives me a top speed of 5Gbit/second :)

400 would be in megaBITS, so it actually turns out to be 50 megaBYTES when talking about file size. this essentially wouldn't do anything to improve speeds if your device can already get 400megaBITS down/up

I pay $180/month. Grandfathered into the 5Gbit plan.

the what card?

It is backwards compatible with 1Gbit network. (But you will get only 1Gbit speeds.)

Nope, windows 10 for me.

@UTECHPIA that's what I thought... this card can't negotiate normally in W11.

@@TheDigitalDigest , that disappointing to hear, I would recommend reaching out to the brand and see if they have a specific driver for Windows 11. I hope they can help. Thank you for also sharing with me, I didn't plan to upgrade to windows 11, now I will surely avoid it.

Make sure you have capable Ethernet cables. Make sure you are connected to the multi-gig port in your modem. If you have any routers, make sure all the ports you are traveling between are multi-gigs.

@@UTECHPIA I have a Cat6 which should be good enough according to some research. My modem handles up to 2.5 gig but I’m paying for 1.5 gig internet. Even my modem says 2.5 gig. I also bought a network card that’s up to 2.5 gig just for this and I’m still not getting what I’m paying for. I have fiber too btw.

its a x4

@@tendosingh5682 My question is if this is PCIe 4.0?

They have many versions, but they don't use the same chip, you can see all the options, including the DUAL RJ45 10GbE version here: amzn.to/3Mp1IJB (affiliate link)

AT&T Fiber 5Gbit

@@UTECHPIA You should have got your full speed but you did not that's baffling. You are being undercut then by At&T. The card does 10G so you should have gotten your full speed. So to me your are getting cheated by 500 there is no excuse for that. I am not with At&T. I am with Xfinity on Cable Modem. I have the highest speed 1.2Gbs I am never short on my speed it always go over to about 1.4Gbs now through the during the day yes, it does goes down 800-1.4gb I hit mine about 99% of the time during the day. I also use DNS Such as Google, OpenDNS, Cloudfare & Quad9

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you are transferring data even faster than me, and it is overheating? You can try to put a small fan on it. I heard the authentic intel chipsets are better , but they cost like 4-5 times more. Good luck!

Make sure to adjust the settings friend. It is probably on auto sleep mode to conserve energy. You have to optimize your connection like you did with your previous one.

Works with Ryzen machines too!

@@UTECHPIA thank you

does your internet work when you use a different network card? Sorry I don't know what else to try, since mine just worked right after I installed the drivers.

Make sure to transfer the settings from your old card in the control panel to the new one (like DNS, etc)

Sorry I forgot. :/

I haven’t found a good 10Gbit card that doesn’t disconnect :( I think they all get very hot when transferring lots of data. Try to put a fan on it. Usually rebooting fixes everything for while. If you find a solution. Please let me know.

@@UTECHPIA I think you are correct. I try ASUS and run into the same problem. On both cards event viewer show hardware failure during disconnect. I will add a Fan and see if there's any difference. Thanks for the replied.

@@borisguillen6748 Please let me know if you find a sold/reliable 10Gbit NIC.

I have 5Gbit Fiber with AT&T, I pay $180/month.

@@UTECHPIA thanks for the info

Your mind is playing tricks on you, bro! I have nothing but respect for my NICGIGA 10G card, I love it!

Thanks Bro!

There's USB-C adapters, cheap for 2.5g like $25

Looks like it runs with Debian which is the base for proxmox. But not sure.

Yep, I had to make sure I pronounced the name very carefully too! 👍

Agreed 👍

No 10Gbit service available in my neighborhood :/

@@UTECHPIA that's what I mean ;) you can't say it's the best 10g if you don't test it at 10g. I've test a few and it's not easy to find a one that can actually do 10g transfer. IMHO

@@StephaneMosse , technically you can test the 10G speeds by doing local transfers and network tests. But I didn't have time to test it. All I know is this card was a big upgrade for me, but you're right, it's not a true test to determine the "best" out there.

Thanks for your comment, Victor! I agree, doing a local network file transfer would be a more useful/meaningful. Ultimately using a tool like iperf would be the best way to test network card performance without worrying about any disk access or CPU bottlenecks. I used an internet speed test, because it is more exciting to see. Hehehehehe. 😅
