Are there any features of Precision X1 that are only available for EVGA motherboards?
 
I'm currently in the process of planning a new build.  I'm leaning toward a Z490 FTW WIFI motherboard with an i9-10900k or i7-10700k and a GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING (if I can ever get my hands on one).  I also have a DG-77 case, so I'm planning on making use of the K-boost button.  However, with the Zen 3 release coming up, I've been thinking about possibly going the AMD CPU route.  If I do use a non-EVGA AMD motherboard with the EVGA RTX 3080, will I be missing out on any Precision X1 functionality?  Will this have an impact on my ability to use K-boost?
 
Thanks.

    1. No
    2. No
    3. If you choose to use a non-evga amd motherboard k-boost won't work with amd cpu's. The dg-77 k-boost button is only designed to work with intel cpu's. The k-boost button won't boost up your gpu either as the k-boost feature stopped working correctly with the 20 series cards, and evga implemented a new feature into px1 called boost lock to force gpu's to max boost.

    Ok, thanks for the clarification.
