What kind of speed did you achieve under Windows or Linux?
I am using the same IOCrest card.
My test results here: quite a bit better than yours but take note that I do not use any 3rd party Anti-virus programs. I may be a bit biased but I consider them worse than a virus. I use Windows built-in security utilities including Windows Defender. My Ryzen 5 5600G desktop may also be a bit fresh since I do not install too many programs, mainly things related to development, like WSL, Visual Studio 2022 and MSys2 and some other development tools, related to my Open Source projects involvement.
FYI, I got much better results with an Intel X520 based dual 10G SFP+ PCI-E card (on the x16 slot).

Testing of IOcrest 5Gbe Ethernet Adapter (RTL8126 chipset) under Windows 11.

Singtel 5Gbps plan.
Singtel ONR --> Hasivo 2.5G/10G switch 10G RJ45 port
Hasivo Switch SFP+ port with Ganwen 10G SFP+ Copper module --> Windows 11 desktop with IOcrest 5Gbe NIC (Link speed 5000Mbps).
Looks like the download is not up to 5Gbe standard, upload is okay. I will test under Ubuntu 24.04 Linux later.
Bash:
PS C:\work\networking\ookla-speedtest-1.2.0-win64> .\speedtest.exe -s 13623

It turns out Ubuntu Linux 24.04 version with Linux kernel 6.8 does not support RTL8126 yet so I have to build from source. The support has been integrated into Linux kernel 6.10 and later.
Download is still on the low side, a bit better than Windows though.

Even though my test shows that the download speed is on the lower side (may be my system issue, this is a lower end Ryzen 5 5600G system).
I think this adapter may still be worth buying at it only occupies single PCI-E x1 slot. This may be an important factor if your are using MATX or ITX mother board and the only x16 or x8 slot is already occupied by the Graphics Card.
IOCrest also has similar RTL8126 based M.2 to 5Gbe adapter.

Both are available pretty cheaply from IOCrest official Taobao shop. AliExpress price is much higher though.
IOcrest also has 10G NIC offerings for PCI-E and M.2/MiniPCI-E.
