Whoever is working on pxoc seems to want to be fired. Pretty rediculous.

I always use Afterburner, Precision has been terrible since unwinder stopped making it, IMO.

How is it to use compared to X OC? 

I haven't tried the BETA yet. Anyone tried it. Also what's new?
 
Generally PXOC has never worked properly for everyone. I have given up on it, but may try the BETA. There again without any info about it I am wary of it causing a whole new bunch of weird problems. Then come the work arounds - some work - some don't. Then next version, rinse repeat since PXOC for Pascal 1st release.
 
I had to laugh at AHowes comment about firing pxoc dev. Then I stopped laughing because sadly, he is correct.
It's at the stage now, that IF I try the new BETA, I will make a full system image first. Not just a restore point. That says a lot, and I say it because I know
I am not the only one with a poor view of this very very sad software.
 
I have suggested before, too many times that it may be better to start over. Now I am sure that's the only way to get an intuitive, effective reliable PXOC.
So many updates. It's like beating a dead horse. Start a new, better rename it too.
 
EDIT: OK found the right thread with a lot of info, detailed too. Over all not very encouraging sadly.

I think there is something wrong with your system. Be sure to check your Windows.
I don't have problems with Precision XOC with every version it releases, also with various platforms of X99, Z97, Z270, and Z370. And I've been using both Precision XOC and MSI Afterburner, they all work as intended.
For comparison, MSI doesn't have extra thermal sensors, no custom fan profiles for VRM and memory. This is where Precision XOC being useful.
And it should be pointed out that Precision XOC needs Visual C++ Redistributable. You have to get the clean version of MSVCR120.dll.
And about performance, Precision XOC needs to monitor extra sensors and fan speed, with high polling rate, it requires higher system resources like relatively more CPU load and latency. So Precision XOC impacts performance a bit more than MSI Afterburner does. Personally, I won't use Precision's OSD, LED SYNC, and Kboost. MSI Afterburner is better at OSD with less framerate impact.

X2. Precision XOC gave me world of issues on an SSD for the OS that was failing/dying. New SSD for OS and XOC is just as solid as AB is, odd enough, even these latest versions.

That's encouraging. (Still haven't tried the BETA though). @SilentMarket. You made good points. However I am pretty careful about my OS and don't have any other problems at all.
Still, I am not going argue that. I am building a new system which will have brand new fresh W10 on it. Might work well then? I have become a bit negatively biased against PXOC overtime so I should give it a another proper go.
 
@FetterEsel. Interesting about the new SSD. Currently using a 500GB Samsung evo 850. My new system is going to have a total of 4 drives. All newer Sammy evo 860.
500GB for OS and some programs. 1TB SSD for Steam games. Another for backups, and I haven't figured out what to do with the 4th yet. Not cheap buying that lot!
Just saying that as I'll give PXOC another full go on new system. I hope you guys are right! AB works fine for me, but as we all know, it lacks anything to do with
EVGA ICX 3 fan tech, pretty useless when it comes to anything to do with fan curves and the like.
 
Recently I have been running my 1080ti ftw3 just at stock, but with the second (slave) BIOS. As far as game performance goes it runs everything (like Doom maxed, Civ 6 maxed and a few other demanding games) excellently. That's at 1440p on a G-Sync 144Hz monitor. I set the monitor at 120fps max, and set games to run at 119fps max. Must say it's pretty amazing. I don't bother to monitor in game anymore as everything I throw at it just runs buttery smooth. Never stutter or any other nasties. So overall I am very happy with my system. Guess I should try the latest PXOC, but at the moment I've lost interest in OC and fan profiles as the default 2nd BIOS runs so well.
EDIT: When my new coffee lake beast is up and running I'll give it another decent go, but on current system I can't be bothered to OC the GPU - that's nothing to do with PXOC,
just running on default (with a huge CPU OC - of course!  )
