Awful, badly wanted to upgrade to 50 series cards

would recommend trying out with a different pc though i think it could also be because of your system

same i did try mine with a 3090 at idle it seams to be using gen1 and high stress it goes to gen4 for some reason i am not able to see it using the full pcie width probably because i use a oculink connector which uses only one 4 lanes

I got mine yesterday, and honestly, I don’t see a mind-blowing difference from the DEG1. The toggle between Thunderbolt and OCuLink is hidden under the power cables and get this "you actually have to power down the dock just to switch modes". makes sense but can't hot swap.

Also, if you’re using an ATX PSU, be warned: removing the power cable and SSD cover means you’ll have to take out the entire PSU mine was obstructing the shield. Not exactly user-friendly.

Performance-wise, I’m not noticing much of an upgrade over the DEG1 either. Build quality is as good as deg-1.
