Works great, no drivers required

Pro Tip: Always use the product for at least a day before writing a review. Was 5 stars, now 1. Initially the card seemed to work perfectly as stated in my previous review. When I started connecting other devices (MIDI controller, wireless mouse/keyboard receiver) Windows USB errors started to appear. I tried several PCI-E slots but none worked. I also tried installing the VIA driver from the CD but that didn't help. I finally gave up and plugged in a USB 3.0 hub, now all my devices work. Maybe I came across a defective card, but playing with a replacement, a refund doesn't interest me.

Pros
