Hi, your motherboard has an additional PCIe 3.0 x1 port. You're considering using a Dual Port Gigabit PCI Express Server Network Adapter Card and wondering if the extra slot will limit its performance. If you set it up with Link Aggregation/LACP and aim for full 2Gbps, the PCIe 3.0 x1 slot could become a bottleneck. The impact would depend on how much bandwidth is used, but it's likely to reduce the effective speed.
It should work well. PCIe 3.0 single x can handle around 750MB/s per direction when accounting for all factors. A dual-gigabit connection will reach up to 250MB/s.
In theory, I could utilize a 3-port NIC and likely avoid encountering any performance issues.
