Find a spare PCI-e slot, plug it in. Install Intel's ProWin legacy drivers under M$ windows 7 x64 and you're good to go. iperf3 reports 7.7GB/s between this card and Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards in a GNU/Linux host. Job done!

Out of the box this was not running at the 2.5Gb speeds (even though Windows reported it as running 2.5Gb) it was staying around 900mb with iperf3 test between 2 other machines on network that both have 2.5Gb NICs. Using the QNAP 2.5Gbe unmanaged switch for 3 PCs that all have 2.5Gbe NICs. They are segmented on their own VLAN coming from pfsense firewall appliance which also has 2.5Gbe. After updating the drivers from the Realtek site as per the pamphlet that came in the box along with a small form factor screw driver and 2 screws (using case screw to match black aesthetic) and the 2 I/O plates, then it unlocked the full menu in the interface's controller properties. Also was getting closer to the 2.5Gb speeds on local network, RDP feels smoother and stable connections without drops. There is some irregularity in the iperf3 tests though. Not getting the irregularities from 3rd PC to main PC so not sure if it's driver related or just an issue with the Realtek chipset of this card. Overall though satisfied with the price to performance and hope there will be future driver updates, not counting on it though. For what I need it to do, be a stable RDP connection it seems to be holding strong and helps not feel laggy like it did with the default 1Gb port on the X370 Taichi Mobo. This is an improvement. If you do want a blacked out PCB and the bright green LED isn't visible while doing work then this is a good 2.5Gbe card. Also make sure you get the latest driver from Realtek, out of the box is not fully unlocked. Happy packets :)

Inconsistent speed. A PCIE X2 card with Marvell AQC113C chipset. Needs to set in BIOS for the proper PCIE Gen slot (Gen 3 or Gen 4), not Auto. If Auto, transfer speed varies around 2,500 to 4,000 Mbps. If fixed setting, transfer speed increased to 5,800 to 7,000 Mbps. Inferior to other brand with Marvell AQC107 chipset which has consistent transfer speed of 8,000 to 8,200 Mbps.
