GC-AQC113C Gigabyte VISION 10G PCIe 3.0 x4 Ethernet Network Card

High-Performance PCIe 3.0 x4 10GbE RJ45 Network Adapter featuring Marvell AQtion connectivity with the GC-AQC113C

The GC-AQC113C is a full-height PCIe NIC engineered to add deterministic 10GbE copper networking to workstation and edge server platforms without changing the CPU generation or core system design. By leveraging a PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface, the GC-AQC113C integrates cleanly into modern PCIe expansion topologies while preserving lanes for GPUs, NVMe storage, or accelerator cards where slot planning is critical.

Built on the Marvell AQtion AQC113CS controller, the GC-AQC113C supports multi-speed Ethernet from 10G down to 10M, enabling structured upgrades where mixed 2.5/5GbE switching and existing 1GbE segments must coexist. The single 10GbE RJ45 port targets high-throughput NAS access, faster backup windows, and large file movement for content creation pipelines. The architecture is strictly wired Ethernet only—no Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth—reducing driver surface area and keeping the I/O profile aligned with controlled enterprise network policies. OS validation is listed for Windows 10 to streamline workstation standardisation.

Why Choose the GC-AQC113C?

The GC-AQC113C provides a balanced density-to-performance ratio by delivering 10GbE over standard copper in a single-slot, full-height form factor, making it a practical uplift for fleets that must scale bandwidth without redesigning chassis or storage. For IT teams, the GC-AQC113C fits predictable deployment logic: standard PCIe slot consumption, straightforward cabling, and multi-gig backward compatibility to support phased network refresh cycles.

Gigabyte applies a platform-driven engineering approach focused on electrical stability, mechanical fit, and interoperability with common workstation and server layouts, aligning expansion hardware with contemporary data centre and edge standards for reliable long-term operation.

Key Applications:

• Workstation 10GbE uplinks for content creation
• SMB/edge server NAS connectivity
• Backup and replication window optimisation
• Multi-gig interoperability and lab testing
