Hi,
Anyone can suggest a cheap PCIe nic card (dual port ideally) that I can make it work with ESXi 6.5?
Anything on this list, if it says it's compatible with 6.5, will work.
you will get good idea in VMware Compatibility Guide for compatible NIC for esxi host .
VMware Compatibility Guide - System Search
you can compare with other hardware vendor as per your current hardware .

Randhir
I actually have a difficult time using the Guide to find a concrete list of 10Gb nics that are friendly.
And I certainly don't want anything 10Gb to be "cheap".
found one having model 39Y6127 instead of 39Y6126, do you think it would still work?
Don't know, but I probably wouldn't roll the dice if I were you. Get the exact model as stated.
