The card does need downloading and installing the driver from the Intel website. After installation of the driver, the connection shows up on the Network and Sharing Center. Great cards, no issues yet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great price versatility speed *by on Reviewed in the United States June 3, 2026* great price and performance; installed on 3 node minilab cluster of hp elitedesk running ubuntu; iperf3 and netcat return 10g bandwidth and file transfer speeds of 1.2 Gb/s; connected to a sodola 10g ethernet switch; using separate vlans successfully ran a small high speed ceph cluster. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good luck finding Windows 11 drivers-- it's not easy *by on Reviewed in the United States September 3, 2025* I eventually got this to work on Windows 11, but it took hours of searching on google and eventually found a reddit thread for downloading an everything windows 11 driver from Intel. Windows update won't find it and there's no exact driver for this NIC chipset model. If I would still have the link I would paste it here, but it took so long I was just glad it eventually worked. ## Frequently Bought Together - 10Gb Dual RJ45 Port Network Card with X540 Controller, PCIe Ethernet LAN Adapter for Windows/Linux/ESX Servers, Compare to Intel X540-T2, 2-Pack - Rapink Patch Cables Cat6a 5ft (24 Pack) Slim, Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable 10G Support, Snagless Cat 6 Patch Cable for Patch Panel to Switch, Flexiable Cat 6a Ethernet Cable with Gold Plated --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/622984299-10gb-pcie-rj45-nic-network-card-compare-to-intel-x540](https://www.desertcart.us/products/622984299-10gb-pcie-rj45-nic-network-card-compare-to-intel-x540) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
