I'm planning on making networking from VM's a bit more straight forward (or not...) and need to know if either Intel i226 or RTL8125B based 2.5GB quad-NIC allows passthrough per port? Also curious on power consumption, any experiences here?

it will depend on your motherboard and the pcie-NIC you have.

Also curious on power consumption
this is also a hit-N-miss scenario..., though, i only read it in the interwebs...
some cards may or mayNOT allow your CPU to go into a lower Cstates...

do more research, choose your NIC and update us here...
note: i also don't have 2.5GbE nic(s), but i plan to have some...
