NICGIGA 2.5G Base-T PCIe Network Adapter, Realtek RTL8125B 2.5Gbps/1Gbps/100Mbps PCI Express Gigabit Network Card Convert to Ethernet RJ45 LAN Port for Gaming/Office, Support Windows/Linux

Au top, installation simple et rapide. J'ai bien tout le débit annoncé, pas de bridage de ça part

In case you don't want to read the full review the short version is: Good card, worth the money, fully recommended.The problem: The first picture shows the problem: a 1Gbps connection that only reaches just over 300Mbps, with a wired connection. Having checked every piece of equipment between modem and motherboard, including running a CAT 7 cable directly between the two the problem was finally identified as a dodgy Intel chipset on the ASUS B550-F motherboard. In other words the onboard LAN was just unable to deliver the full broadband speed - and had been delivering substandard speeds for some time.The solution: pictures 2-4: a NICGIGA 2.5Gbps PCI-E card with a Realtek chipset. Why this card? Well, simply put, it has a black backplate that fits in with the motherboard's black backplates. I know, not the best reason but it also has a known chipset, a decent heatsink on the main chip, an handle over the 1Gbps bandwidth, future-proofs to a certain extent and is at good price point.(A quick note about the future-proofing: a 1 Gigabit connection can potentially deliver over 1Gbps - up to 1.3Gbps - whereas a 1Gbps card stops at 1Gbps. This card is 2.5Gbps and so will handle over 1Gbps and provides some future-proofing for when the next major speed increase comes in.)Install: was really simple: unscrew a backplate, install the card, screw in the card, close the case and plug in a CAT 7 cable bought at the same time - KINBETA high speed 10Gbps 2 metre CAT 7 flat braided cable - and switch on PC. See pictures 6-8.The result: picture 9 shows the result. As soon as the PC started the card was recognised, no driver download was needed. The download speed jumped from 321.5Mbps to 925Mbps (picture 9) solving the problem in a most elegant way.It is interesting to note that the ping was 9ms both before and after upgrading the NIC and upload also remained the same - the 52Mbps which was the expected speed and initially highlighted the problem.For those with a small form factor PC it is worth noting that a smaller backplate is provided (see picture 5) as well as a screwdriver and two screws.Overall very happy with this purchase it solved the problem at a reasonable cost and I can feel the difference the higher speed connection makes. Definitely recommend this card.

Da paura

A PRINCIPIO DESCONFIE DE QUE FUNCIONARA PLENAMENTE, PERO LA VERDAD FUE UNA SORPRESA PARA MI Y SIN DUDA CUMPLE CON LO DESCRIPCION, TENEIS UN GRAN PRODUCTOS CON PROBLEMAS DE CONECTIVIDAD CON UNA CALIDAD-PRECIO MUY BUENO.

Dovendo aggiornare la scheda di rete del mio PC che arrivava ad 1 Gbit, ho voluto provare questa che ha un ottimo prezzo e chip Realtek. Beh che dire i risultati li potete vedere dalle foto, prima andavo massimo a 900 mbps in download, ora arrivo tranquillamente oltre 2.3 Gbit.Ci tengo a precisare per chi non lo sapesse che non basta la sola scheda di rete per raggiungere tali velocità, si deve avere anche un hard disk adeguato tipo un SSD M2 NVME con scrittura sequenziale di almeno 2500 mb/s, inoltre i test vanno fatti utilizzando una app tipo Speedtest di Ookla che è disponibile anche via terminale ed essere connessi ad un ottimo server, anche la CPU può influire.Quindi per me questa scheda visto il prezzo è ottima, i driver su Windows 11 vengono automaticamente scaricati, al limite si possono reperire sul sito Realtek.
