Dell Intel X540-T2 nic in a PCIe gen 4 x4 Slot = :(

I wanted to aggregate the two 10gig ports on a Dell Intel x540 T2 nic on my ubiquiti switch for 20gig speeds, but I only have a gen4 x4 PCIe slot available. It looks like I won’t be able to adapt this card whatsoever in my situation, so I’m considering an X550 based nic instead.

I’m assuming that the newer generation PCI support on the X55 will actually allow me to hit those speeds in the x4 slot… Am I correct?

Yes the x550 T2 is gen3 x4 PCIe you should get full bandwidth in a gen4 x4 slot.
