ASUS ThunderboltEx 4 card underperforming

Hi there

 

Recently installed TB4 card in my Z790 Apex and it works, but compared to my old laptop it's underperforming.

 

Reads are fine at 3000mb/s sequential but writes are randomly only 1000mb/1400mb.

 

My old laptop with TB4 ports easily did 3000/3000.

 

I already set the devices to not save power.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what could it be?
