SPCIe 4 M.2 to PCIe adapters may work for your use case as well. You can probably crossflash the cheaper MCX512A-ACAT to the...

SIf you can open up the end of that x4 slot you can fit a 4.0x8 card like the Mellanox ConnectX 5 MCX512A-ADAT, but it won't be cheap.

Ssadamahan replied to the thread 10g Network cards with sfp+ PCIe4/5.Thanks all! After an extensive search, I turned up empty handed unable to find a 2 port 10g NIC that sits on a x4 slot. I wish I had...

Yeah thanks to Broadcom, PCIe PLX switches are now so expensive that it doesn't make sense -
SThis is going to be a problem for a while with PCIe 5.0 motherboards. Because PCIe negotiates to the slowest of the speeds between the...

True, though I don't understand why he's insisting on a higher pci-e version than whats needed for maximum performance out of the cards.

SYa, but those aren't PCIe gen 4. I presume PCIe gen 4/5 is OP's hard requirement.

Ssadamahan replied to the thread 10g Network cards with sfp+ PCIe4/5.Thank you all for your responses. The reason for my question is that I'm trying to pack as many ports that I can on my motherboard which...

Sor they just keep using he older model.... not a huge deal but, providing the option and expanding their customer base would make for...

SNICs also tend to increase lane count requirements instead of jumping up a PCIe generation. Going from x4 to x8 isn't a big deal in the...

SNo they are x8. The E810-XXVDA2 is dual port. However technically it is possible to run them on a 4x Slot, if you have an open ended...

Just an FYI, the ConnectX-4 are also SFP28.

SSFP28 ports are backward compatible with SFP+ You're looking at E810 for Intel and ConnectX-5 Ex for Mellanox. The big boys...

I don't believe any of the SFP+ cards use PCIe 4, 3 has more than enough bandwidth for SFP+ cards. Even SFP28 can get by on PCIe 3 with...
