Synthesis Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Do you know if the working slot was 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0 PCIe?Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonkyvr Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yea. Obviously, I'm not a Vive tech ... I'm just some dude ... but I believe it's going to turn out that the "distance" from the GPU has more to do with the problem than the size of the bus, especially on older motherboards. It's abudantly clear that this tech has been pushed through on "happy path" testing, not vetted the way it should have been against a wide range of real-world scenarios. Incredibly arrogant.

sstachiw Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi John, AFAIK, all of my PCIe slots are 2.0. It's an older motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowball Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I wish that were true, but for me I have the same issue no matter which slot I put it in. And all of my hardware is brand new. I've tried every slot on my board (all listed as 3.0). Per the manual, the PCIE2 slot must be used for the GPU. I've tried the wireless adapter card in every other slot on the board (PCIE1, 3, 4, 5, 6). I've manually set the slots to be Gen3. I also tried a brand new wireless adapter - no luck.

DLSauron Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I can confirm moving the wirless card from slot PCIEX1_1 to PCIEX1_2 fixed the problem. These are both 3.0 ports and before anyone asks my GPU was in PCIEX16/x8_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternity Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 My slots are as follow: - 2 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots (PCIE1/PCIE3: single at x16 (PCIE1) / x8 (PCIE3) or dual at x8/x8 mode)- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (PCIE4: x4 mode)- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot I had originally tested all slots, and just tested all configurations again to be thorough with no improvement. In fact, the card performs worse in PCIE1/PCIE3, with permanent resolution loss and almost complete inability to load anything. It seems to have the best performance in PCIE4, though that's still the bad performance described in my earlier posts. When it comes to distance from the GPU, I can't actually plug it in directly next to the GPU because my GPU covers the 1x slot below the primary x16. PCIE3 would be the next closest, and the second 3.0 slot, and caused far worse lag. I will note that if I try to plug my GPU in to PCIE3, my computer cannot recognize the card. The BIOS shows the card connected and recognizes it, but when I load up the computer it simply runs via the onboard intel GPU and cannot recognize the GPU no matter what I do. It's possible that in my case the card in PCIE3 with the GPU in PCIE1 is causing issues because the motherboard is trying to run the two cards as SLI or something? Not sure.

thomas Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I received my wireless adapter yesterday and am having this same issue. I only have a single PCIE 1x 3.0 slot available on my micro ATX motherboard, as the other slot is covered by GPU (the covered slot is also PCIE_1x/3.0). GIGABYTE GA-B250M-DS3H Intel Core i5-7500 3.4 GHz GTX 1070 16GB 2400mhz DDR4 I have read through other solutions on this thread, seems like there is no fix for my use-case. Can anyone weigh in? EDIT: After rebooting a couple of times this issue seems to have gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grvmm Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I'm still having troubles using the closest pci-E to my motherboard and it's 3.0 as well. I have the lastest mobo drivers, lastest windows and gpu drivers, I tried 1x, x4 and 8x solts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furs Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I have it currently running correctly on a PCI 2.0 1x slot on a asus motherboard (z170-deluxe). When placing it in the PCI 3.0 slot i had wierd game lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
