What poor NVMe are you buying that gets 90MB/s? Even the Gen3 Kingston 256MB drive I have does well over 500MB/s in my iozone tests on a Dell Precision 3420. The only time you need mobo support is if you want to boot off NVMe but every PCI-compliant OS should be able to at least see it.

Possibly scattered 1-byte writes rather than sequential 4096-byte page writes.
