BEST SELLERS

In Network Interface Cards

It is solid made. Not a cheap piece of plastic.

I was instantly able to take advantage of my new 2000mbps internet service.

- Intel card works with every device NIC I have with no issues - Worked at 1, 2.5 and 10GB for me with no issues - two ports - Can team depending on the OS

I have ordered 2 of these cards on Win7 and Vista works great on both pc's no issues - easy install and have seen improvements for consistent speeds over the default built in motherboard network card. Newegg rocks for shipping

The obvious question is why one would purchase this card over the far cheaper options. Generic 1Gbps NICs can be had for just over a tenth the cost, while Intel's desktop varieties run less than half the price of this card. Leaving aside the cheapest cards - ones I've found to cause more problems with data corruption and reliability than it's worth - the main reason to go with a server card is if you will be loading it heavily. If you're running your own datacenter, power-saving features such as EEE and DMA coalescing are handy, but that likely doesn't apply to most potential customers for this NIC. The I210T1 does an even better job at offloading calculations than previous generation NICs.Saturate a full 1Gbps connection with multiple streams and you'll see CPU usage drop in comparison to what it is with desktop cards. We put this card in a workstation to replace the on-board Realtek NIC. System CPU time dropped by 20-30% under very heavy network loads after switching to the I210T1. Another benefit to the I210T1 - and a possible reason to upgrade to this new model - is Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support. When working on projects where multiple media streams need to be perfectly synchronized, AVB worked wonders. Older NICs simply could not keep everything synced perfectly. We needed to work on 10Gbps connections instead. Being able to accomplish the same feat with a much cheaper card is great! The I210T1 is tiny. It fits easily even in systems with bulging heatsinks and video cards.

Does exactly what it is supposed to. Setup was as easy as any other networking card, except ten times the speed! We put one of these on our server, and on our video editing workstation. We have a Netgear 10gbe XS708E switch between them. They are all connected through shielded CAT7. In a realistic day-to-day use, it's usually around 300 to 500 MBps. In some specific scenarios (large ISO files, etc) it goes to over 700MBps. This easily maxes out the SSD on the workstation! We no longer have to copy video files locally at our studio, instead they can remain on the server. It was very easy to set up link aggregation. I managed a peak of roughly 1.8GBps transfers to the server in specific scenarios, like setting up a ramdrive, running ATTO, etc.

Easy install. Nice price. I really love this Network card. It arrived on time in Manufacturers Box with the low profile bracket attached. Because of my computer case had to take out the 2 screws and install the standard profile bracket which was included. Also included was a driver CD and manual. .

I had a huge issue with my computer, it would stutter and jutter every now and then for no apparent reason, my FPS would fall(even on the Windows desktop), my download speed would become dreadful; as in I would be downloading at 500kb-1mb, as opposed to the usual 6-7mb which I was accustomed to. I began to think, maybe it's my on board NIC(Network Interface Card), as these problems would emerge usually while I was on the web, with any browser, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox; since I got the sneaking suspicion that my default NIC was bad I bought this. This has solved all of the above problems, not more stuttering, perfect flawless and consistent connection on any browser; it was such a good buy, at a great cost.
