Is anyone aware of a PCIx SFP+ networking card? I know it's an odd combo and I found these Lot 2 Napatech 810-0016-04 NetScout NT20X 2-Port 10Gbps PCI-X Network Adapter | eBay although I'm not sure if they'll actually work, apparently they're "capture cards"
And before I'm told to get a new server these are for my desktop Precision T7500, All my pcie slots are either in use or covered by the gpu so the options are fork out for a single slot gpu, or find a nic that can go in the pcix slot even if it's limited by the bus(pcix should drive 1 10GBe link depending on the version)
Or maybe I should get an XFP card and just do a short fiber patch instead of the direct attatch SFP+ cables I was going to use(and already have)?
