Hi
My very first post here
I was about to buy my first 10gb nic, during my researches I found out that there is almost no pcie gen3 dual sfp+ 10gb nic with x4 edge connector, as the bandwith provided by x4 gen 3 is enough for 40gbps full duplex, is there any reason(backward compatibility, etc) why cards are still built with x8 edge connectors?
Does using these card in x4 electrical slot give the expected performance?
Regards,
Hessam
