    I’m sure the hardware for 50Gbps optics wouldn’t be cheap for the consumer 🤣

      Enterprise adopted 100GbE networking around 2019. You can now buy used network cards for around $100 each.

        Probably not where I am, that seems really low. I mean it depends if you use name brand or not. Often I don’t use the name brand ones 🤣

          I just checked on eBay, and there are multiple listings for single port 100 GbE Mellanox (now nVidia) Connect-X 4 cards in the $60-100 range.

            My mistake, I was thinking 100Gb fiber. Even the knock off switch SFPs are hundreds of dollars each.
