Hello!
I have the GTX 1080 FTW and I'm planning to upgrade my system and get a z370 motherboard with RGB.
My question is: Is this card compatible with any of the motherboards RGB software out there? MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASUS Aura Sync, RGB Fusion of Gigabyte
thanks for your help

    Welcome to the Forum alexandr645,
    You will need to use EVGA Precision XOC (PXOC) to manage your RGB Graphics Cards from EVGA.
    EVGA Precision XOC (PXOC) also updates the Firmware on your EVGA RGB Graphics Card.

    I believe ive read the Asus card is comparable with the asus mb's. As in you can sync all the lights.

    Intel i9 9900K @ 5.2Ghz Single HUGE Custom Water Loop.
    Asus Z390 ROG Extreme XI MB
    G.Skill Trident Z 32GB (4x8GB) 4266MHz DDR4 
    EVGA 2080ti K|NGP|N w/ Hydro Copper block.  
    34" Dell Alienware AW3418DW 1440 Ultra Wide GSync Monitor
    Thermaltake Core P7 Modded w/ 2x EK Dual D5 pump top,2 x EK XE 480 2X 360 rads.1 Corsair 520 Rad.

    Thanks for your replies. I'm currently using the EVGA Precision XOC and allows me to change the color. what I was asking is, if this card can be sync whit the software of z370 RGB boards. so I can control the board and GPU at the same time.
     
    or can I control the board RGBs from the EVGA Precision XOC?

    No. I'm pretty sure one would need a matching brand card and motherboard to do it.

    But let see if someone else figured a way around that.

    Then again on the Asus card they state this:

    ASUS Aura Sync RGBlighting with additional 4-pin RGB header features a nearly endlessspectrum of colors with the ability to synchronize effects across anever-expanding ecosystem of ASUS Aura Sync enabled products

    So it has a rgb header to connect it to the mb.

    It's an rgb card with a header to sync.. most cards don't have this.. not even the ftw3 card does from evga.

    That 1080 ftw card is not rgb.

    So, in order to sync all my future components, I'll need to have MSI Mystic Light Sync software for my motherboar, EVGA Precision XOC for the card and NZXT CAM Software for the Kraken X62

    No You cannot Manage a Non-EVGA Motherboard with EVGA Precision XOC nor with EVGA Flow Control Software used on their CPU Closed Loop Coolers.

    unfortunately RGB control is not standardized, even the headers are different for brand to brand and even in the same brand, thanks corsair, so unless you buy all the components from the same company (which is what they want you to do) your stuck using different software control with no way (yet) to sync them. kinda sucks

    Guess I can up my post count this way as well
    But you can give Download AIDA64 Extreme (beta) a go around as they have added RGB LED to their Software.

    Or Maybe this is just a way to get my Posts more attention
    Also mixing different RGB Software on the Same Computer also is causing users issues and unstable systems.

    But alexandr645 you really should give Download AIDA64 Extreme (beta) a try and report back.
    I do not have any RGB Stuff to Play with AIDA64 Extreme to see what it has to offer.

    Don't get me wrong I love LEDs, but the whole craze has gotten a little out of hand with PC parts
