Is anybody here who has tested whether a ThunderboltEX II Card is supported by current Asus motherboards with latest firmware? The most logical combo would be using a EX 3 AiC, tho. I have an Asus Prime z370-a motherboard with no AiC to it, yet. I am about to pick one soon.
I am asking bc I own two Apple TB-Displays with of course the original TB connectors, which the EX 3 AiC doesn't have anymore. So, being able to connect those puppies to my customac I'd also have to buy two of those expensive TB3->TB2 adapters, which to me seems easier solved by just pick the older card and no adapters at all. I do not need nor do I have hardware for full throttle TB 3 speeds to external storage or such. Only graphics to the two TB displays.
Is it good/bad/terrible to mix vendors here? Let's say pick a Gigabyte AiC for this Asus motherboard?
Thanks in advance!
