This thing is a joke. It appears to be so quirky and difficult to set up and just doesn't work how it should. Why have Asus released this product? It's just not ready and quite possibly never will be.

Hi BoutTime01,
So far with all the issues that has been reported on ROG forum, there is not one issue caused by the XG STATION 2. They are more toward driver/firmware/BIOS update on the host device. Please provide details of the failed configuration, and we will do our best to sort them out for you.

Hi ASUS-OP. I don't own an XG Station 2. I intended to buy one to partner my G752VT which has a GTX970 built in. But I cannot find any way to determine if the Thunderbolt 3 port/controller supports 40Gbit/s throughput. Some of the promotional material states upto 20 Gbit/s but some state 40 Gbit/s. Can you tell me how I can find this out as I'd previously assumed the limit of 20 was due to the fact that only passive cables were available at the the of release. I am running the latest Bios which apparently added support for dGPU.
Because of my interest I've read pretty much everything available on the internet about the XG Station 2 and seen a few video reviews. But it seems to be very problematic. My first hurdle is the TB3 throughput. Can you help me with this?

Hi BoutTime01,
The G752VT comes with GTX970m utilizing Nvidia Optimus Technology. According to the product page (https://www.asus.com/au/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-G752VT/), its Thunderbol 3 has the link speed of up to 20Gbit/s. Hence yes, you will not get 100% of the performance of the XG STATION 2 on your notebook even if you made it working.
This platform is still quite young, which still requires a few tweaks from both Host (notebook/PAD/miniPC) and Client (XG-STATON 2 & GPU in it) to allow it to perform at its best. Unfortunately the suggested testing methods were not made available at the time of review, result in unexpected results in some cases.
It's a shame this is already the case. However, we will do our best to serve you to make sure the user experience of our customers are at their best shape.

Thanks for getting back to me. But my understanding is that this laptop does not use Nvidia Optimistic Technology because the Intel Integrated Graphics are actually permanently disabled in the Bios and this cannot be changed. Can you confirm?
Also with regards to the TB3 port, yes I've seen the support page you provided a link for, but there are also Asus support pages for the G752VY (not VT), and some say upto 20Gigbits/s and some say upto 40Gibbits/s. From what I can see the manual for my G752VT does not mention the data rate of the TB3 port at all.
So my question is.....Rather than relying on an old support page written when only passive cables were available that supported upto only 20Gigbits/s, Is there a way to look at Device Manager or something, obtain a model number of the TB3 port/controller and then see for sure what speeds are supported?
Surely you have access to a more reliable source of information than the Asus Support Site?
Thanks again.
