  • Intel Thunderbolt 3 certified for guaranteed compatibility and reliability
  • Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports deliver 40 Gb/s bandwidth each
  • DisplayPort 1.4 support enables 4K video output through the card
  • Daisy-chain up to 12 devices with 6 per Thunderbolt port

Certified Thunderbolt 3 Controller

The GIGABYTE GC-Titan Ridge 2.0 is an Intel Thunderbolt 3 certified add-in card built around the Intel DSL7540 controller. It adds two Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C ports to a desktop system via a PCI Express slot. The card delivers a maximum bandwidth of 40 Gb/s and supports DisplayPort 1.4 for 4K video output. It is suited for creators and professionals who need certified high-speed connectivity for external storage, docks or displays.

Upgrade From Basic USB-C

This card replaces standard USB-C ports that lack Thunderbolt certification or sufficient bandwidth for demanding peripherals. The jump is worth it when workflows require daisy-chaining up to 12 devices across both ports or driving 4K displays through a single cable. It also enables Power Delivery 3.0 support up to 100 W for charging compatible laptops or powering bus-powered devices, a capability absent from typical USB expansion cards.

For Certified Workstation Builds

The card suits builders assembling workstations that demand Intel-certified Thunderbolt 3 compatibility with guaranteed 40 Gb/s throughput and DisplayPort 1.4 video. It is not for systems without an available PCI Express slot or a motherboard header for Thunderbolt header support. Buyers needing more than two ports or a different form factor should look at alternative solutions.
