MCX311A-XCAT MELLANOX CONNECTX-3 10GBE PCIE SFP+ ETHERNET CONTROLLER CX311A
30 March 2024
Great card, doesn't like e-cores on 12th-13th Gen Intel CPU based systems...
Great value for a ConnectX-3 PCIex 3.0 x4 single port card. Windows 10/11 have a driver that will get you going, but i highly recommend you get the last provided one from nVidia. There is also an issue, on 12th and 13th gen Intel CPUs where you will have to disable e-cores for the system to boot under Windows. The last drivers nVidia provided do not handle e-cores at all and will cause the system to crash reliably. This card works with all of the 10gig SR optics and DAC cables i have. I just probably should have gone with a ConnectX-4 or 5 card, as they're not much more than these are. ConnectX-5 cards are the oldest nVidia still supports with updated drivers. All older cards are left to the mercy of the last provided drivers.
