Finally – a cheap USB 3.0 card that works with the Intensity Shuttle on my Asus P9X79 system!!!
I have a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R system that worked fine with the Shuttle.
Later I bought a P9X79 and assumed it work with it, someone here said it worked for him… but it didn’t for me, well not quite, the pass through worked OK with the ASMedia USB 3.0 ports but nothing but a black screen when you previewed the capture in media Express, VirtualDb or AmaRecTV
I tried an Asus U3S6, and that can’t even see the Shuttle!
Later someone on a forum suggested I try this cheap, generic, made in Asia USB 3.0 card on Ebay –

He didn’t know if it worked for sure, but it was so cheap I figured I’d try it anyway.
And guess what it works fine in all my apps!!!
For $12 (including postage) it’s a bargain, and it’s a tiny single lane PCI-E card. Just takes a while to get here.It uses an NEC uPD720200 chip. It has a small 4 pin connector for extra power, but I didn’t bother with that
It comes with the 2nd most recent driver and firmware on a small CD, which is what I used to confirm if it worked, but the latest drivers can be found here

Hope that helps.BTW The current Socket 2011 MSI motherboards do have NEC chipsets for the USB 3.0 ports
