Review: Produkt niezgodny z opisem - otrzymałem starszą wersję karty oznaczoną jako `GC-ALPINE RIDGE` - na zdjęciu, ja zamawiałem `GC-MAPLE RIDGE`.
Review: Works perfectly. Problem solved - My pc case did not have a usb c header outlet!. I had issues charging my usb devices as not enough/ right power could run via the 3.2 & 2.0 usb A ports. Device is detected and data could be transferred but would not charge. I have not found the right drivers for my gigabyte motherboard that will correct the issue. MSI have a super charge driver/ software which works on their motherboards. Could not find the equivalent. So the round about solution was the gigabyte Maple thunderbolt card which provided what I needed. My iPad Pro can charge together with my other usb c devices including laptop. Works perfect with my gigabyte mother board as it is thunderbolt ready with the exact matching cable heads. Will be great when I upgrade to utilise thunderbolt capable monitors in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly. Problem solved
*by B***L on 30 August 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly – including 5K output on LG UltraFine via RTX GPU
*by N***C on 23 March 2026*

I’ve been running the Gigabyte GC-Maple Ridge Thunderbolt 3/4 PCIe card on a Windows desktop with an RTX GPU, connected to an LG UltraFine 5K display (originally a Mac monitor), and I’m happy to report everything works as expected. The card delivers true 5K resolution, but there’s one important caveat worth knowing: you must connect TWO DisplayPort cables from your RTX GPU to the two DP inputs on the PCIe card before running the single Thunderbolt cable out to the monitor. With only one DisplayPort cable connected, the maximum output is limited to 4K. Both cables are required to achieve the full 5K signal. One more tip for anyone running into image sync issues – specifically a horizontal split or misalignment down the middle of the screen: clean up your Windows registry of any leftover entries from old GPU and monitor configurations. Stale registry data can interfere with how the two halves of the 5K signal are synchronized, causing a visible seam. After clearing those remnants, the image locked in perfectly. I was also pleasantly surprised by the shipping speed – the card arrived just two days after ordering, which is honestly faster than express delivery options I’ve experienced in my country. A nice bonus on top of a product that does exactly what it promises.
