10GbE and even 2.5GbE are still relatively expensive, considering that many really cheap phones come with WiFi6 which is a much newer standard.
Obvious you dont know what half-duplex means

How are most consumers using these cards

My house is mostly wired cat 5e. It seems near impossible to change that out and I can't imagine many homes have higher grade cables in them. This doesn't even include lack of internet/just using it on home intranet.

I'm doubting I could ever have a use for this?

Some day 10gBe will be as prevalent as gigabit today. It's going to be some time yet but eventually it will. I hope you have conduit ran so you can update cat5e to a newer standard for 10gBe and beyond one day.

i dont but to be fair to the people who built the house. What they did was place cat5e in the area of phone lines and the lines were then just converted to ethernet. I seriously doubt many even new homes have conduit

You should be able to at least do 2.5Gbps due to the 802.3bz standard. In that case though, it would probably make more sense to buy 2.5gbe cards instead of this. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5...d_5GBASE-T

It honestly depends on the length of the 5e run as while not officially supported 5E can in theory pull 10 Gb in short runs, but yeah this is why pros have been recommending cat 6 for the last several years even though it was not needed at the time; it's often a major PITA to change cabling in houses. (There's also the argument that only the servers will need 10 Gb for quite awhile, so if you're dropping in speed down to a gigabit somewhere else in the house it's not the end of the world to have mix and match cabling with switches between the types.) Really, unless you want to test your cabling for 10Gb there's not really a reason for you to buy this nic in your situation.

Keep in mind that 10 gigabit ethernet is much more power hungry than alternatives and may not be your best bet even at this price. Its sweet spot is when you need to maintain compatibility with existing wiring or when your cabling runs are long or when you need durable cable. But consider your alternatives before buying this:
  • SPF and associated fiber modules - long runs, more fragile of cabling, lower power
  • SPF with direct attached copper - short run (like within a server rack), not fragile, lower power than GBE (I think)
To put things in perspective, I have a thunderbolt to 10 gigabit ethernet adapter and that thing gets really hot just sitting on my desk doing nothing. Ethernet supports 100 meters of cable having four twisted pairs and that wiring does not love having high frequencies pushed through it that far.

Idle overheating is more likely to do with the power consumption of your specific controller itself , the fact that it might not be idling properly or the thermal solution the manufacturer opted for than it is to do with current required to transmit at higher frequencies.

The excessive heat levels in use is simply because it takes a lot of power to "shuck" and sort through two and a half million frames per second.

Cat 5e, especially if solid core could in theory handle 10g over short distances, about 45m. For a house, this might be enough.

gigabit is not even that common anymore. They were wiring all new houses with Cat 5 for about 10-15 years there. But they hardly bother anymore because most people are using portable, non-wired devices like phones, tablets and laptops more than desktops.
