Installing PCIe x16 3.0 GPU in PCIex16 2.0 Motherboard

MisterEd said:

The motherboard chipset driver contains support for USB 2.0. Since the chipset only had support for USB 2.0 the Eltron chips were added to the motherboard for USB 3.0.

The problem with tearing may be because you are using a 4K monitor. Your computer may just be too slow to support such a high resolution. Trying reducing the resolution and refresh rate to see if that works better.

My computer with a motherboard similar to yours has a slightly faster GTX1060 GPU. It has a 21-inch 1920x1080p @60Hz monitor. I have no problems with it.

My old card can play 4K content. I only get tearing when someone close to the camera man moves fast. Watching videos over the internet is a lot worse though. I thought that maybe buying a new card with an additional 2 GB of onboard memory might help a little.
Unfortunately, the new card is worse. That's why I posted the original question about not being able to install all the drivers for it. I'll never know if the missing Universal Serial Bus Controller driver is the cause.

I was hoping to find a answer here before the return period ended , but that didn't happen so now I'm basically stuck with a card that I can't use and I'm back to using the old card. Maybe I'll be able to sell the new one on Ebay.

It must be this particular card because we both have the same mother board and you are able to use a PCIe x16 3.0 card on your 2.0 mother board without any problems.

If your graphics works (and based upon the resolution of your screenshot it seems to) and you aren't missing any hardware components then I wouldn't worry about the exclamation mark. The resolution of of that screenshot isn't built into 7 natively. FYI there is no driver for a pci-x 3.0 device compatibility because that is a hardware compatibility not software. That would be like trying to use usb 2.0 ports as usb 3.0. However as you said it is backwards compatible you just don't get the same bandwidth just like using a usb 3.0 drive in a 2.0 port.

GeForce driver 472.12
BTW, that is the same driver I use with the ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 for my aged Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 1.0) motherboard.

Yes I have 4K resolution, but when playing videos.....any resolution, I get little error messages that popup on the screen for a couple seconds. It says this device is not working properly please install software for it. When playing downloaded videos it looks like someone threw sand at the screen and the screen tearing is worse than My old card.

Wanna buy a new video card....only used for 4 days?

My computer used to have a GTX560 1GB (PCIe 2.0) but I only replaced that with a GTX560 6GB (PCIe 3.0) because I was not using it in my other computer anymore. Your GTX 1650's speed is probably between the speed of my two GPUs. My computer ran fine with the GTX560. I only upgraded it for the additional GPU RAM.

Have you tried running your monitor at 1080p 60Hz? If your monitor works OK with YouTube then maybe the problem is your computer and GPU combination is simply not fast enough for 4K.

I just noticed you monitor has a USB port built in. Could the USB error be related to that? I noticed that there are software downloads for your monitor.

Yes, the screen tearing is better in 1080, but it's a real downgrade in picture quality when leaving the native 4K resolution. No, it's not okay with Youtube, that's where I have the most screen tearing. If I download the video and then watch it's not all that bad. When I do internet speed tests I'm always right around 300MBps so it's not a internet speed problem. Although, I did notice that when I checked Processes in Task Manager I see as many as 8 or 9 Firefox.exe running at the same time. I googled it and apparently that's normal with the latest version of Firefox. I still might start a new post on here about that though.

I'm not connected thru the USB port on the monitor, I use the DisplayPort. Also, I don't get the error messages when using the old card. Yes, I already upgraded the monitor driver from PlugNPlay to Asus.

The point that I was trying to make is that your using a card that is a step above mine on the same mother board that I'm using. However, your not getting the yellow error messages in Device Manager pertaining to drivers not being installed........correct.
That's why I'm thinking that it must just be this particular card and I'll just have to accept that.

MisterEd said:

Here is my Device Manager. As you can see there are no errors.


Device Manager details





Note you may see a differences in the USB section because I added a PCIe USB 3.0 card. That is because I broke the 20-pin USB 3.0 connector on the motherboard.

Okay, then I guess it's just that this particular video card is not totally compatible with my mother board.
Thank you for all your help with this problem.

This is a Nvida 16xxxx Card problem because Windows 7 does not support the Nvida Video Card USB-C. Has nothing to do with the Motherboard.

Since the Nvida GTX 16xxxx Video Card has no USB-C connector, all you can do is find a driver to make it look good in device manager.

I don't understand your point. Only some of the RTX 20xx video cards have a USB-C connector.

I have a similar motherboard as the OP, the same video driver, and a GTX1060. I don't have any USB problems.

GTX1060 does not have the problem. It started with the GTX 16 xxxx

GTX1060 does not have the embedded USB-C technology

Thanks MisterEd

The USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller driver loads. But no go with the nvppc.inf for the Nvida device listed as PCI device. It loads with an error
