What’s included
GC-Titan Ridge 2.0 card
Thunderbolt header cables (card to motherboard)
USB 2.0 Cable
1x Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. The card originally shipped with two, and the second cable is missing. Only one DisplayPort input can be connected with the included cable
Bottom line, this is only missing the 1x Mini DP to DP passthrough cable
About video passthrough DisplayPort passthrough is only needed if you want to run video from your GPU through the card to a Thunderbolt display or dock. It is not needed for storage, audio interfaces, networking, or other data devices. I never used this feature because I have a GPU with 4 video outputs, so I can’t confirm it from my own testing.
