Not compatible USB port

[FokkerFace]

If compatibility test tool tells that USB3.0 ports are not compatible, does it mean that Rift won't start up? Or will it start up, but will have lag?

I don't want to add another PCI-E card unless it is absolutely necessary. I've seen some test results including "compatible" and "not compatible" USB 3.0 chipsets, and there was a throughput difference, but is it bad enough for Rift not to function at all? Does anyone know what are throughput requirements for Rift to function normally? As far as I understand one of three USB 3.0 ports is reserved for Touch, but Touch is not even included with initial Rift sale, therefore two USB 3.0 ports are actually required initially, before Touch. Two remaining USB 3.0 ports - I have to guess are used by tracking camera and Rift itself. So what are their requirements?

[edit]

I've found test results I've referred to:


Oculus compatibility tool says Intel X99 is compatible, VIA VL805 is not. While difference is obvious, does Rift really need more than 200MB/s throughput?

Where is this whitelist of known good controllers?

I just built a new computer to run my incoming CV1, and guess what? The USB controller fails the test!

So now I need to dismantle it, ship the board back, get a refund, order another board, wait for that to arrive, rebuild the system, and hope I have randomly picked a supported controller this time?

If you do a little research you can usually find out what USB controllers are used, I believe (could be wrong) all recent intel boards will have some intel usb3 ports.

Past that just get a card like the one linked, will add quite a few USB ports which is useful anyway.

Or, what cybereality suggests - pay another 30 dollars to install PCIe expansion card. Unfortunately that's not really an option for me, since the only PCIe I could spare - is already occupied by wifi adapter, and I have to have a wifi on a PCIe, not UBS.

Any space PCI (yes old school) slots, you can get wireless on those, past that there is some very good USB wifi receivers, failing that you could get a wifi bridge to the network port or use powerline adapters.

Like you I could go internal card first but there is other options.

Can anyone confirm if the Renesas uPD720202 works? I want to buy this card which has true 5 Gb/s per port.

What a little research you tallkin about? I spent one week in summary at any rate trying to find out what should i buy and always get this link to amazon at the end.   

Does somebody knows other analogs of this card?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPIMJEW

Unfortunately they does not ship this one to Russia. 

Or maybe someone has this damn whitelist to choose from? Or at least whitlist of controller brand or specification? 

In every topic about usb problems i see this link to pci-e card on amason and it has (according to photos) LVI contoller that doesn't supports according to some other comments. 

I have GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P motherboard and full AMD setup accordingly. So i have no ability to change motherboard to have intel controllers.  

I have only two usb 3.0 on board and only one works with rift. 

I already bought one pci-e card on Etron EJ168A and it doesn't  work... I'm really disappointed of poor expirience cause two my oculus sensors for rift and touch works with lag as they connected to usb 2.0 and i don't know how to fix it except bying all existing brends of pci-e usb cards one by one.

This is the only card that has been tested and approved by Oculus.
https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Superspeed-Ports-PCI-Expansion/dp/B00B6ZCNGM

Notice this is the 4-port model. Even other versions from the same company (like the 5-port model) may use different internal USB controller chips and may not actually work well.

Though you can try to source a local card that uses the same Fresco Logic FL1100 chipset.

You just like: We know that we're producing product that incompatible with at least 40% of hardware but we don't give a shit so much so the only solution we can offer is to buy this card from amazon.

Why this one? Just because we tested only this one. 

What? You are from shitty third world country and you can't order usa brands from amazon? Bad to be you but still don't give a shit - order this one from amazon. 

You need specifications? Meh... We. Don't. Give. A. Shit. We didn't test others. Here is the link to amazon. 

 😄 🙂 😕 😞 

And here is none of any pci-e 3.0 cards using Fresco Logic FL1100 chipset in Russia or any nearby country where i can order this card less then 70$ (including delivery). 

I'm ready even to buy a different amd motherboard if i only have this whitelist of them... 

This is a really demonstrative case for those who still trying to chose between Oculus and HTC.

you could tell that to the oculus support staff that refered me here while troubleshooting my usb's, a problem which seemingly still hasnt been fixed since, what did you say? 2016?
