I have a desktop PC with a USB C connection on the ASUS motherboard. When I connect to this port, Oculus Link works well (no performance issues). However, this port doesn't charge my Quest, so I am trying to add a PCI-E USB board with sufficient power output. I bought and tried all of these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089YN57TD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The good news is that two of them provide enough power to charge the Quest while I play (Startech and Inateck). The bad news is that none of them work well with Quest/Link. They all pass the Oculus USB test with 1.7 Gbps. But, they all result in choppy / stuttering gameplay. If I immediately disconnect from the PCI-E board and back to my motherboard, the performance comes back to normal.
Any suggestions? Could be a driver issue with the PCI-E board. But, doesn't make sense that all of them would have the same issue. Could be an issue with the PCI-E slot on my motherboard. But, I didn't see any settings in bios that would affect this.

I think I figured out part of the issue. I had updated Oculus debug tool with "high performance" settings for link. I guess these settings were high enough to cause issues with the PCI-E connection. But, they worked well with the motherboard USB connection. I wish the PCI-E USB connection could be as high performing as the motherboard one 😞

I bought both Inateck U21 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M5YHWFD) and Inateck U27 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BN184L7). My Oculus works perfectly on these two cards.
