USB issues with Rift 3 sensors

Hi All,
Hope you are well. I am running 3 sensors and I am having issues with tracking on 3 sensors running in usb. I have 5 non Rift devices running off my motherboards USB3.0 controller + all of the Rift ub connections. Anyway I have concluded a PCIex usb3.0 card would be the way to go.

Any recommendations for a PCIex usb3.0 card for Rift?

2 sensors are running off usb3.0 and 1 sensor is running off usb2.0(as lead is usb2.0).

Thanks

How would I connect all of the usb's up? I know that card is officially supported. Would I have 3 sensors on that one card?

Or would I have the 2 fronts on the card and 1 rear sensor on my MB Usb2.0

The normal way of doing it is to have two sensors on the USB3 card, one sensor on a PC USB 2.0 socket, and the HMD on the PC USB3 socket.
