Question 1

What kind of capture card can I put on this motherboard and how many capture cards can I install? For example, one 4K Elgato Pr and One Blackmagic Capture card? I have a graphics card in it already but wondering where I can put the capture cards>?

Accepted Answer

You know the names of the cards but have no idea what interface they use?  I think you should look at pictures and actually read descriptions.  You will find your answers if you take the time to read and look.

The motherboard has 4 pcie slots.  Your video card is using one.  Depending on the size of your other cards you can use up to 3..

Question 2

Does the USB C (AKA thunderbolt port) actually work? Several models of ASUS ROG laptops the port doesn't work because ASUS didn't develop drivers to enable it. Did they develop drivers for their desktop motherboard line?

Accepted Answer

Technically speaking, this is NOT a TB3 port... I know it might look like one but the specs specifically list a usb3.1 gen 2 type c connector... NOT a thunderbolt port.  If it were a Thunderbolt port, it would have to be listed as such.  Just because it shares the same connection interface as USB C, does not mean every USB C is Thunderbolt.  There are ASUS MOBOs that do in fact have a thunderbolt(gen I-III) port built in. However, they USUALLY denote these models with the iconic lightning bolt icon.
