VRTX faster than 10Gbps

Hi,

I am wondering if its possible to get faster than 10Gbps ethernet with the VRTX in any way besides adding one pcie card for each blade?

I know ConnextX-3 mezzanine cards exists for the blades, i.e. dell part 406-10545 - but I haven't been able to find any ConnextX-3 switch modules, so I have a hard time figuring out if its even possible to use with the VRTX or if the mezzanine card is only for the blades when used with a m1000 chassis.

Even though the compatibility for the mezzanine card says:

Designed For
PowerEdge FC630, FC830, M420, M620, M630, M830, M830P
 
Where the last is the name for the M830 blade for the VRTX, so it seems like its possible.
 
Others are selling:
 
But when I look up the part number on the dell support website, nothing comes up.
 
 
Can anyone help me shed light on this.
 
Thanks
