There is something that I want to emphasize, just because most of my issues relate to a previous gen card, it does not mean that they are not relevant to newer cards. Yes, the fans of the 30 series cards can be controlled with Afterburner, that's great, with 20 and 10 they cannot so you must use Precision. In the future there may be functions that will force 30 owners to also use Precision (for example Rebar support is more convenient there), and then what will you do. Also, the 2080Ti was a card that just last year was being sold for $1200. All you 3080 and 3090 owners that paid $1000-1500 I'm sure you don't want to be neglected when the 40 series comes out. 

Not at all. Afterburner can only control two fans. Most EVGA's 3080 and 3090 have 3 built-in fans plus one external header. It's very relevant for all of us. I would never touch Precision X1 again if I hadn't to. It's a complete mess.

I'm wondering how many support tickets and threads I've got to put myself through before EVGA at least acknowledges the resetting fan and RGB issues. I'm so done at this point.

I have a rear exhaust and a bottom intake hooked up to my extension header. Thought it was the most clever thing. Only Precision can operate the 4th fan. But it keeps crashing randomly under load in games and whatnot and I basically lose my rear exhaust. At this point, I'm heavily considering hooking those fans up to the manual header on my case and just using Afterburner. It's been months. I'm so tired of this...

I used to have the ghost overclocking issue where when i reboot it shows no overclock, but its actually overclocked.  The recent update fixed that for me.

No response, no fixes. Pretty good progress

I had some kind of error during the install of 1.1.9.0 and then immediately it wanted to flash the bios of my brand new 3090...30 seconds of anxiety.

If you have the time to learn (it's not that hard tbh), try to update your vbios via command prompt, waaaay safer and reliable. Too many bricked cards using PX1 to update (mine had several problems when I tried to... Done easily via command prompt and nvflash).

Just bought a 3070 xc3 ultra and I cant even open the software. Disappointing that a new expensive product has RGB and OC capabilities I cant even control with their software.

so im gathering that once my ftw3 card gets here tuesday to NOT use this piece of software, and use afterburner instead?  is this correct?

My copy started boosting the fans to 100%, and I did not even know, as I had installed it and never looked at it... ended up my RTX 2080 Super FTW3 was RMA'd due to high fan speeds... nothing the matter with it... it was Precisionx

I've utilized MSI afterburner and it felt fine but this isn't giving me issues either.

Same, I generally use Afterburner but haven't had any issues with Precision X and have even, in some cases, found it easier to use.

Separate issue, but the download pages for Precision versions that support old cards is... confusing to the say the least.

i didnt know precision x1 was bad

Precision X is clunky.  I only used it on my 1080TI for the LED control.  The only reason I gave it a go with my KPH is because its the only way to control the KPH oled screen.  If you toggle it to the "Monitoring" option and close precision X then load afterburner, the readout will lock at a number (arbitrary) and never change, defeating the purpose.  If you leave it on Default and load Afterburner, the readouts will still be accurate.
 
In PX1, if you click save profile, it might or might not work.  you always have to play with it to see if your settings were really saved by toggling back and forth with default.
 
In PX1, automatic fan link and power/temp links will unlink for unknown reasons and you have to do the same thing with the profiles to toggle back and forth.
 
Lastly, the VF curve process in PX1 is not good.  The progress is silent and subject to the problems from above.  It just picks a number and you plop it in and hope for the best.  When I do that, it gave me a +200 memory / +115 clock offset that crashes Timespy every time.
 
Afterburner overclocking is EASY.  It has a dialog box with the last status message and % complete.  Configuring the curve is easy and when you save the profile it actually SAVES IT!!!!  Then when you run it with that curve, it doesn't actually crash timespy.
 
With PX1, you can spend 5-10m adjusting all of the little nodes in the VF curve but it doesn't save.  Come on...... 

this is just my opinion, but from a company's perspective, this software isn't really making EVGA any money, why would they spend more hrs to maintain this program?
