        help with specific problems, when you really don't understand!

        Hello, I called for help today to review a problem that I thought was hardware.
        (asus x99-A card)
        I was supposed to have 1Gb on both the rising and falling edges... but here I am! Impossible with driver updates and so on. Impossible to increase the upload speed to the desired level...
        The cables are good (cat7), as is the PCI port, in short, everything's OK, and yet I'm still stuck at 0.3Gb. The "balls (!)".
        After going over everything again with the technician, whom I kissed tenderly and affectionately (without his consent) but with the decorum of an educated person, I resigned myself, and sank into the mental defeatism of my ex-wife who used to say to me "the best is the enemy of the good"...
        My motto is to live dangerously and also "who can do more can do less"... hence my divorce!


        So I poked around in the peripheral management, the advanced properties of the card and in my case the transmit buffer and receive buffer were not proportional. There must be a x2 factor between the two...
        (By default there were 512 RB and 2048 in TB, you never know why!)
        And now, miraculously, everything's OK. Can't wait for the next 10Gb!

        So a big thank you to customer service who helped me find the solution by going over everything with infinite patience and confirming that my old cart could still hold!

        NB: transmit buffer = receive buffer x 2 ---> For example 1024= 1024x2=2048

        Well done again LDLC. Thank you for your work.

        10G end-to-end and Comptabile W11 VMWare EXSI 7/8 PROMOX 8

        Hello everyone,

        I bought this model to test on old servers: DELL T320 (Promox 8.2), T630 (EXSI 7 and 8), no need to update the drivers they were recognized directly.
        After having put aside for 2 months I have just tested on my config under OC Formula X299 (W11) that works perfectly the marvell drivers what are installed with Windows update and the tests of bandwidth reach the 4500Mo/s in dl and 700mo/s in up, because they are the limits of the subscription Free.
        All on PCI X8 X16

        Please note that this test is based on a network architecture: Free delta SFP 10G port, DAC cable to FS com SFP 10G to RJ45 converter and a 10GB Switch on the floor.
        If you have a large installation (lots of electrical cables and so on) I recommend CAT 8 RJ connectors, which are shielded to greatly limit electromagnetic interference.

        Excellent product

        Problem-free installation. Works perfectly. Small detail: Although the box does not mention Windows 11 among the compatible operating programs, the latter accepted the card without difficulty.
        The only downside: for some reason (logistical error?), I had to wait 3 weeks to receive the part.

        Does what it is told.

        No problems to report. Immediately recognized under Windows 10.
        Use in conjunction with a 10Gbps Ethernet / SFP+ adapter.

        Excellent 10 GB card

        My motherboard only had a 1 GB network card.

        By upgrading to this one, I can reach the maximum of my fibre optic line, which is 2000 mbps.

        I didn't have to configure anything except to put the driver from the TP-Link website (OS = Windows 11).

        Perfect

        The package arrived on time.
        The card was ordered to make up for a failure of the network card in the motherboard.
        I was able to get the card to work perfectly, no problems to report.

        Nothing to say

        1 month of use, does the job, achieves the expected throughput, no worries about installation or drivers. Good choice.

        Nominal operation.

        The installation was trouble-free, and it worked immediately without any problems under Fedora Linux, and the connections were immediately synchronised at 10Gb. The card also has a very confident appearance.
