Scan first, when it passes, overclock the memory and max out power limit and temp limit. The higher power limit from the bios will only enable you to boost a bit higher than before, temps permitting the extra boost. You can also try a manual core overclock for a little more than what the scan score will be, it seems to be the highest point of clock increase on the curve or something.
To save a profile, you first have to apply it, then right click on a white number, if it turns purple, it's saved. Left click selects or loads it, right click saves/deletes it. The save button next to the apply button doesn't seem to do anything.

EVGA 2080 Ti XC as well here (on waterblock).

I hit Scan and it just kept running indefinitely until my core hit 2160 and display driver crashed. Now what? And why after hitting scan does it take SO long to get up to 2Ghz and above?

I set my own VF curve but when I hit Test the card just jumps around under 1v for a while and then it’ll hit like 2085 at 1050 or above then go back down 1v. How is that helpful?

How do you change all the points after one to the same level instead of individually?

Why is the GUI SO SMALL. I had to use Magnifier to make it easy.

This software is so unintuitive.
 
Edit: here's a screenshot of the last scan I did. When it got to this point I just canceled it because last time I crashed at 2160.
 
What am I supposed to do with this? Believe that the card is actually running at 2145 @ 1013mV??? Huh???

If you find Precision X1's OC Scanner confusing or unstable, you can always try MSI Afterburner's OC Scanner instead. They are both based on the same NVIDIA API. Unwinder, the developer of Afterburner, says that NVIDIA's OC Scanner API is the best OC scanner system that has ever existed ... because it actually works. So, if he thinks it works, maybe EVGA got something wrong when they implemented the API into their software. I don't know... I don't own a compatible card. Just an idea; take it or leave it.

Like usual, I would advise uninstalling Precision and rebooting prior to installing MSI Afterburner, just to be safe...r.

After reading through various threads it seems clear: I'm supposed to hit scan and after a while it's supposed to give me the +X on the left, where X is the amount I should increase core. As I said though my scan just keeps going and showing crazy core clocks and then crashes. I know it's not because my card is somehow a horrible overclocker as I'm able to run benchmarks with an average of 2070-2100 and 8000 on memory and I'm on water so stay under 50 degrees.
 
Going to try OC scan in AfterBurner but I've already used the other features and having weird issues there too. First, I can't get the voltage slider to unlock. I used the same steps as for my 1080Ti - editing the text file in the profile folder and checking the box in settings - but it's grayed out.
 
Second, when I go to the voltage curve the points are all sitting at the very bottom, barely in view. If I raise them all to a normal level, with 1050mV hitting 2070, it tells me that I'm adding something like +1000 to the core. Makes no sense. I set various curves for my 1080Ti with AB no problems.

how do you install the 2080Ti ftw3 bios update? i'm running X1 and searched the evga website to no avail, am i missing something?

ty_ger07
What BIOS update? And what does that have to do with this thread?

This is the only BIOS update I am aware of, but it doesn't apply for your video card and it doesn't apply for this thread.
https://forums.evga.com/E...S-Update-m2858793.aspx

I pinned that thread to the Top of the 20 Series section
 
I agree - I'm not aware of a BIOS change for the FTW3
 
However -- Do Not use X1 older than 0.3.9 ---> as some FTW3 cards failed MCU update & required RMA

Need some help guys, (yes my first post and first EVGA GPU), This x1 software is giving me a headache, got the scan and test and core part down, test results said +106, obviously moved the core to 106, maxed out Power and temp, but since im new to this overclocking besides ram and a little cpu playing here and there, whats a safe General area for the memory slider? not a 2080 I have a 2060 rtx xc.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
p.s If I leave the precision app for too long, aka coming here to JUST type this, and go back to it.  I have to go to task manager and for close it manually because it will never open back up and the task manager says its still running. But will NOT open unless I clear the process! getting annoying. Had to stare at the screen during the scan because if I clicked off to multitask or check emails, it would close but the GPUSTRESSOR software would still be running as would precision but would never show back up.  Weird

I tried the VF Curve Tuner and it returned a value +116.  I added this 116 to my core clock and ran 3DMark.  My score is actually lower after the curve tuner did it's thing.  What did I do wrong?  Shouldn't my GPU score be higher after the OC is applied?
 
My 3DMark Firestrike score went from 27500 to 27000.
 
Am I not using the Curve Tuner correctly?  My card is a 2080ti FTW3 Hybrid. 

Cool GTX 
The OC for different Software will vary - looks like too many errors at that OC in 3DMark
 
Or their could be some other variable like Stability of your PC, power temps

Could be.  I still need to explore the card, just got it late afternoon yesterday.  The other thing that's strange is the card isn't recognized on 3DMark yet.  I'll play around with a few things and see what happens.  Temps and power delivery are fine.  Temps below 55'C and the system is powered by a PRIME Ultra Titanium 850W PSU.  Single GPU and an OC'd 8700k shouldn't be maxing that out.  I'll verify tonight.

I've just tried out of curiousity...
Thest button click, I see the blue line running left-right...
And that's it for minutes.
I don't really see the clock rising or anything, the evga app didn't freeze, but...
 
How long is this test runs?
I can hit cancel, restart, same effect.
I don't think this does anything lol.
 
P.S.: I've just yesterday done an nvidia uninstall, stop internet, then pc reset, clean with ddu, start and install latest nvidia driver. Apart of Apex Legends I'm fine, no freezes nowadays on other games.

This OC application is so completely worthless. I feel scammed.
Why is there no documentation whatsoever? I spent 2 hours running tests and I still dont even know how to save settings, or anything else for that matter.
 
And what does "apply" actually do? does it apply it now, at boot or simply applies it to a profile? Why is this application so useless? why didnt anyone stop to think "hey, what i am making is utterly useless, maybe I should not do this".
Why why WHY!!!! I have never encountered an application so poorly explained and so lacking of any intuition.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS APPLICATION??????

Oh boy... Let's run through this shall we?
 
Scammed? It's a FREE download, you can't be scammed or conned by something that's free with zero advertisements slapped into said program, so calm down.
 
It's a basic beta program right now, I'm not sure why you're expecting a royal treatment from it, but I'll try and work through your post regardless. 2 hours running what tests? The curve tests? OC tests manually? Were you able to get any form of result? Judging by the remainder of your post (which I'll get to) I doubt it.
 
If you've ever OC'd a GPU, it's all very self explanatory, the 3 sections are memory, GPU and target, target can either be linked or not between power and temp, it's often suggested to link unless you have poor cooling in which unlink and drop the GPU temp slider down to 80C or so. However, for any form of overclocking, always push the power target to the max. Obviously this will increase your GPU temps.
 
GPU section, again, very self explanatory but I'll explain incase, don't bother adjusting voltage, leave that at '0'. As for the clock, generally you want to bump up in incraments and test, have the Heaven benchmark or similar running in the background and increase in increments of 10 until you start getting crashes, same goes for the memory however the memory you can go in increments of 100 but instead of crashes, you'll first see artefacts within your GPU stress testing tool (heaven, Furmark etc).
 
Apply will apply with immediate effect, you'll see this in the HWM (hardware monitor) tab, again, very self explanatory if you've ever OC'd a GPU. As for profiles, if you click on any of the numbers on the right and click save, it will save what ever configuration you've just set to that profile number. 
 
Ignore the VF Curve Tuner unless you're curious, anyone using an automated OC'ing function shouldn't dabble in overclocking at all in my opinion.
 
So, to summarise, it's not intuitive to the point it has a guided display on what to press when and why, it's just stripped of all the hand holding, if you're unable to navigate the most utter basics of a GPU overclocking tool, I'd suggest uninstalling it and leaving it be. Stop crying and whining on forums because you're unable to work out simple things and instead ask proportionate questions rather than rant making your self look like an idiot. Mkayyy?
 
If you're curious, I have a 'low' OC on my GPU right now, 8000 (+1000) memory, 2050 (+150) GPU at 130% power target. I'm running a EVGA 2080 ti XC Ultra. I've not put any time into pushing it further as this was done in about 15 minutes and it's more than I need.

I don't agree. if you give the consumer an expectation then it should be real. Not a maze to run through like a lab rat. But sure, it is free. Its just too bad there is no explanation given.

I ran the OC test (twice) and tried to figure out what to do etc.. But from the other reply then it seems that I have to run a benchmark test WHILE running this tool.
I didn't know that that was the "idea" behind it.
The functionality and purpose of the tool is unclear to me. I am new and OC'ing but what I need is basic information about how this app works.
1. How do I save a configuration? Can I apply an OC at boot via this app? What is the purpose of this app? Is it to see what you can do but not actually overclock?

Okay , thx, That was not at all clear to me.

Being frustrated i think it completely natural when you get no explanation of anything. And if it was for advanced overclockers, then that prerequisite should be made clear. I wouldn't have bothered installing it if there was some sort of explanation of any sort.

Thx, but I cant use that setting. I'm using a 1070 TI.

Also you don’t have to have a benchmark running but you need something to put a load on the card. You can use a game if you like as long as it’s putting a load on the card and if the settings for that game are not maxed or at least on high the card won’t have to work hard theirfor the clocks will be all over the place.
