USB-C DOES NOT support Video Pass-Through

This card's Type-C ports DO NOT support Video Pass-Through. What does that mean? USB-C to HDMI and USB-C to DisplayPort adapters just don't work. Windows recognizes them as generic billboards and not video adapters because the cards do not negotiate ALTERNATIVE modes. The seller claims that a Thunderbolt card is required for video transmission. Type A ports carry video and work with video adapters.
