Ti2 vs PCI USB damn! .... I ask for help!

Buccy70 · 7. März 2013

Hi guys..

I have read many posts on the forum, but I'm having a doubt strong and I would not make mistakes.

I use my Virus Ti2 desktop with Windows 7 64bit and I need to buy a second PCI or PCI Express USB 2.0 or 3.0 that is truly compatible.
(I already have one Chipset Renesas / NEC USB 3.0 that I bought recently and does not want to work with the Ti2 ...

Guy based on your experience as a model of USB PCI card should I buy to not have problems with Windows 7 64bit. ?

Thank you. Andrea

You have a few options to try:

Try looking for newer drivers for your Renesas/NEC card on the manufacturer's site. Maybe the bug that causes the incompatibility is already resolved.
On your computer there probably are extra USB ports besides the ones at the back near the power supply and all the other sockets. Sometimes they are on the front, sometimes they look like just another adapter card but they don't use a PCI slot (they are connected via a cable to a group of pins on the motherboard called a header). You can ask a computer technician to check that for you.
It's better to go for a USB2 card rather than a USB3 card because it has more history behind it and the Virus is a USB1.1 device so there is no performance gain any way.

Hope this helps!
