No offense EVGA, but PX1 is pretty garbo and I think we all know it. I have the 2080 XC Ultra. Can I use Afterburner or another program to OC? Pros and cons? Thanks!

Do you know id the XC Ultra has any features dependant on PX1? Thanks

Thanks for the info.

Hello EVGA Forum Posters,
 
When it comes to the X1 software please keep in mind that this is not a fully released software, it is still in beta. Now both software's are good in their own right but when it comes to EVGA products, the X1 software would recommend using. As Sajin has stated ICX cards do have the thermal sensors that should only be viewed with either the X OC or X1 software depending on the model card you would be using. This would also include RGB fan curves and setting overclocks to the GPU or general system monitoring.

It's just extremely buggy and IMO should be rebuilt from the ground up in a minimalist fashion. I've had problems with it from day one and have created multiple posts months ago about what I found wrong with it. I thought EVGA gave up on it honestly, hadn't checked the forum and PX1 was stuck on an older version for me (would check for updates but said it was on the latest). Basically though, LED functions don't work correctly, settings don't save when they should, LED sync is still involved with this program for some odd reason, etc etc. Many other posts about other bugs, too. I understand it's in beta, but I haven't seen any improvement personally since I got my card and downloaded PX1 last year. Very unfortunate as I want to love this software and my EVGA card but haven't had the best experiences.

I relaunch this topic

Having a lot of issues with PX1 i decided to give Afterburner a shot and all seem well even if I can't really control all the fans.

There is a thing I don't understand though, I uninstalled PX1 but the led on the card are still customized as I asked, can someone explain that to me? :)

You can launch PX1 and manually set a fan speed for all your fans, then close out of it and use AB for the rest.

Well is sucks. Period. You guys can talk it up, but the OSD does not work. The over clock fails every time I run it. It is the worse software ever made. So.. good use it, it sucks.

I have the new version of PX1. 1.0.0.0
For some reason, the OSD doesnt work in bfv occasionally.  Not sure why.  the server is running.

The OSD doesn't work for me like 50-75% of the time, so I feel your pain.  Even in games that it works in sometimes, it will just not load others, makes no sense.  I understand they're still working on improving it overall & in particular the OSD's compatibility, but with how long the software has been out, and the fact that Afterburner "just works" most of the time, is kind of embarrassing at this point.

Hello guys!
 
I saw a few strange things in my GPU (using afterburner) and it also does not provide some info I'm looking for. So start searching for an option and arrived at this. (2080 S hybrid)
 
After reading all the previous posts, using afterburner I'm missing something? (temperature sensors for example?)
Sometimes I see that the GPU % goes under 99%, I think maybe its a bottleneck with the CPU or just a glitch (I5 10600K) or... just normal, but afterburner does not show me the CPU % (I'm doing something wrong? Asus Strix z490 egaming) 
 
For the last post seems that I should keep away from the SW... But I'm missing something?
 
Thanks!!!!!

i only use px1 to change led color and almost stop doing that, i use afterburner but im trying out nzxt cam which so far is working pretty good, if i decide on the nzxt g12 cooler i wont have to worry about the led or px1 anymore, i do love evga products but it would be nice if they could get the px1 working right or maybe im doing it wrong.

I really want to use PX1 cause it would be way easier to control the clocks the way I do, but unfortunately only Afterburner allows that.
PX1 is missing the voltage/frequency curve editor like the one Afterburner has. I achieve better overclocks with my 3090 FTW3 undervolting it, cause the thermals are way better this way, but I can't do that in PX1.
All I have to do is lower the core clock (around -200MHz), then open the voltage/frequency editor, raise the block of the voltage I want to be the limit to the frequency I want the gpu to ideally reach, press Apply and then Afterburner automatically flattens the rest of the curve, this way limiting the maximum voltage and giving me way better temps and stable higher clocks.
So, please, add this feature to PX1, since Afterburner can't control all the 4 fans of this card (including the ext header, that I also use a lot).
Below an image to show how I use de V/F Curve Editor in Afterburner and works wonders for me. Please implement this to PX1! Also, please let us lock a frequency/voltage (like pressing L on V/F Editor in Afterburner).
Thanks!
