Windows and Linux compatibility on the cheap
Works perfect! Nicgiga is a good brand, card runs fine without direct airflow on it. It's priced right and works under windows and linux without issue.

Good card
It works at 5gig but ONLY if you install the offical realtec driver. Sticker to download driver on the bracket has a typo so never works. Nothing a quick search didn't fix. Has really good throughput when paired with a 5gb SFP in my Cisco Meraki switch. Does run hot but the heat sink helps

Works great with Linux out of the box
I bought this to get 10GBE on my desktop PC, which only has 1GBE on the motherboard. I am running Linux on this PC, and I was pleasantly surprised that the NIC was recognized by the kernel right out of the box, and I have not had to do any configuration to get 10GBE speeds. I have two other 10GBE devices on my LAN (a Mac Studio and a NAS), and performance has been as expected to and from all devices. I would not hesitate to buy this NIC again if I need another one!

Great little NIC
The media could not be loaded. No fuss with windows 11. Installed the card and it just works. Purchased the 2.5gb model and speeds are as advertised. I also like the black finish since I have a black case and motherboard. Very inexpensive card. I can’t speak to the longevity of the product since I haven’t had it that long.

Card works well but doesn't support port trunking under Windows 11 Home/Pro Environment.
Card works well but doesn't support port trunking under Windows 11 Home/Pro Environment due to Intel disconntituing they "Port Teaming" function after Windows 10.Haven't tried it in Server or Windows 10 OSs.Supports Jumbo FramesSlot alignement is right on and installation is easy.Doesnt seem to heat up much.

Easy setup, reliable, runs cool
I've got two of these Marvell-based cards from NICGIGA running in a server PC and couldn't be more satisfied. They were a cinch to install. The drivers (available under Marvell's Public Drivers page) were easy to find and update; they work with Windows 10 as well as 11. Both cards—purchased a year apart, so the build has changed slightly (see photo)—run cool, which is a rarity for 10GbE networking. And the performance is great: iPerf consistently measures 9.49 Gbits/sec between 10G-capable LAN devices.

NO DRIVER USB INCLUDED!
Description along with AI in "Ask A Question" stated that it comes with A usb with the correct drivers needed. Not TRUE! Had to scan the QR code on the metal bracket of card to be taken to the Marvell website then sort out all the drivers available and hope that I grabbed the right one. The card does work well but I took off 2 star because Description and AI's answer about the USB was incorrect. and another 1 star because the driver is in 2 zipped folders with all kinds of stuff in them that make it so confusing and is listed under "Marvell_AQtion_x64_Win_ver3.1.10.0_signed" Nothing anywhere or in any folders was named "Marvell AQC113" Which is what would be common sense name to use so you know it's the correct driver for the card. Good Luck!EDIT:Removed leftover stars because the card stopped working 3 Days later, The card vanished from my PC! It's still connected where I originally placed it however, windows 11 pro will not recognize it! I spent about 3 hours troubleshooting it trying everything, different slot, uninstalling and reinstalling via OS and physically reloading drivers, everything that I could try all to no avail. This card that was working fine 3 days ago is just not recognized in my PC/OS anymore. I have now returned it for a full refund! Time to look for another brand... Meanwhile what a waste of time!

Seems to work well
Works under Fedora 42. But I had to swap out my cable to get it to negotiate to 10 Gbe
