Since I bought a CRS317 as my main switch, I've been equipping most of my desktops & test servers with 10Gbit/s nics and blowing an x16 slot to fit them. I usually have x1 slots left over with nothing in them.
With x570 being pci-4.0, x1 should have enough bandwidth to handle 10Gbit/s no problem. Has anyone made any pcie-4.0 x1 nics? I'm ok with either copper or fiber, but prefer fiber. Currently I've been buying the realtek RTL8125 based nics for $20-$40 for these boxes, but if something better is out there I'm all ears.
