Question 1

I need a 10G BaseT NIC with a low-profile bracket.  Can I get a low-profile bracket with this card?  If not, can you please point me at a 10G BaseT NIC on your web site that comes with a low-profile bracket?  (I would rather not have to find a matching bracket myself.)

Accepted Answer

Under specifications, package contents, it lists that the card comes with a low profile bracket.

Question 2

Does this speed up online games?

Accepted Answer

No, most likely the limiting factor is your internet speed. A 1 Gb network connection is not being saturated by internet speed. So using a 10GB is not speeding up your on line game.  So insummary using this card is not likely to improve your online game experience

Question 3

What kinds of speeds are you seeing using CAT 6 and/or CAT 6a cable?

Accepted Answer

The Intel X540-T1 PCI-Express Ethernet Converged Network Adapter provides speeds of 10Gbps.
