ASUS Launches ROG 10G Express 10Gbps Ethernet expansion Card
ASUS is releasing extras intended for the ROG Maximus motherboard series. Among them an audio solution, the GTX 980 Ti MATRIX (reviewed here) and also part of it is the new ROG 10G Express, an 10 Gbps Ethernet card.
Powered by Aquantia and Tehuti Networks these key partners are both members of the NBASE-T™ alliance, and are working closely to create the new 2.5Gbit/s and 5Gbit/s standards that will be compatible with the existing Category 5e (Cat 5e) cabling and ports.
With PCI Express 2.0 x4 speed, it equips Maximus VIII Extreme/Assembly gamers for next-generation LAN speeds of up to 10Gbit/s — or up to ten times (10X) faster than today’s fastest onboard consumer Ethernet.
With ROG 10G Express, Maximus VIII Extreme/Assembly users enjoy faster online gaming and share smoother streaming. 10G Express supports speeds right down to 100Mbit/s, including 5Gbit/s, 2.5Gbit/s and 1Gbit/s, so it’s compatible with a vast range of hardware, old and new.
Nir Sever, Chief Operating Office, of Tehuti Networks said: “We're excited to work with the industry-leading gaming brand ROG to include our 10G Express expansion card, providing supreme-speed, lag-free online gaming experiences for ROG gamers. ROG is the first gaming brand committed to providing high-performance, low-power and great-value multi-gigabit networking and future-proof standards, expanding the potential and appeal of its elite gaming gear.”
Prices are to be announced.

About the same thing in Romania. Wherever the big ISPs have infrastructure there's usually a gigabit subscription available. 10gigabit is not really unrealistic in the near future but it begs the question: do you need it? Even SSDs won't be able to write at those speeds. At least not regular ones.
The gigabit subscription is cheap, coming in at 10EUR. The second biggest ISP offers 500mbps at 17EUR. It's more expensive, but the ping is better. I've had both subscriptions.
In the Netherlands we are already running 1 Gbit internet for normal consumers for €45 a month in quite a lot of places. So 10 Gbit (at least for my home network) is quite a nice addition.... IF it's reasonably priced of course.

Question
You guys wouldn't happen to know if that motherboard has 4 - 16xSLI PCI Express or does is share the bus at 4 - 8XSLI PCIE Express?

Neither, you would need a pci-e-E motherboard supporting 40 pci-e lanes to run 4cards @ 8XSLI.
