will this network card work with vmware esxi 6.7

Good evening I write to you for help and feedback on this network card "2X Broadcom 5709C Gigabit LAN 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbit/s" to VMware ESXI 6.7 if it will work normally on your site with support this card seems to be but without the note "C" some people write that it will work normally but I prefer to ask specialists possibly to take into account the cost of the network card so that the system could function normally on the server "DELL POWEREDGE R710" and if I may ask for some model of network cards up to 150zł

I checked and apparently this model is there, but in the "C" version I don't know what it means, I'm not sure and I expect an answer from a specialist who will really tell me if it makes sense to work

It looks like your network will be not compatible with ESXi7 but with ESXi 6.7 you are free to go practice:

broadcom 5709c / broadcom 5709 - two different network card models - but they will have the same driver family. 

It should be fine for vSphere 6.7
