The Archer TX50E from TP-Link is an excellent Wi-Fi card that connects to your PC via the PCIe interface. The card features Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.0 support along with two high-gain external antennas. The combination between the latest wireless protocol and external antennas allows the TX50E to reach very fast speeds and to have more than a solid range.

The card can reach, in theory, up to 2402 Mbps over the 5GHz band and up to 574Mbps over the 2.4GHz band. These speeds are very high and even if the real-time performance is slower you’ll definitely be able to reach the ceiling of your internet plan. And thanks to MU-MIMO and Wi-Fi 6-exclusive feature called OFDMA, you can expect next to zero lag and great performance when streaming videos and playing games.

This makes the TX50E a great choice for online gamers and users who need a good range in case their modem, or modem router combo, is far away from their PC. This Wi-Fi card also supports the WPA3 security protocol for increased safety when online (every Wi-Fi 6 card should support WPA3). Overall, the TX50E is a great budget solution for users looking for a PCI Wi-Fi card with Wi-Fi 6 support and external antennas.

ASRock's enterprise motherboard subsidiary, ASRock Rack, unveiled what is possibly the strangest graphics card, called simply 'M.2_VGA.' This card uses a Silicon Motion SM750 chip with an embedded memory, and is built in the M.2-2280 form-factor, with an interface that supports both the B-key and M-key slot types. The chip uses a PCI-Express 3.0 x1 host interface, and 16 MB of DDR1 embedded memory. A tiny header on the card puts out analog D-Sub through an expansion bracket, while another takes in 2-pin 12 V power from a Molex connector. While its performance is slightly short for maxed-out 'Control' at native 4K with raytracing, you get just enough for a 1080p basic desktop display—which explains why ASRock is selling it through its enterprise subsidiary. The card is meant for servers.

Ria33I think that could be quite handy to someone building a home server on a consumer grade platform like Ryzen, as high core counts CPU don't come with integrated graphics and server grade motherboards with an IPMI module are more expensive and harder to find.
Exactly what I'd be interested in buying it for, if only it had something better than VGA. There's currently a GeForce 970 in my server for really no good reason other than to provide a video output and I'd love to be able to free up those PCIe lanes for another HBA or high speed NIC.
Unfortunately the server world has that annoying fear of change thing going on and somehow VGA is still a thing.
HammerOn1024Uhmmm.... no. That's 4-bit color not 32-bit as you've written it; 16 actual colors.
4 bytes = 32 bits
