I don't think that Linux is popular enough to really make that move in my opinion.

There's no plans for a Linux version of PrecisionX, and officially we don't support Linux, but as there are standard Nvidia APIs for monitoring and control in the drivers, there may be other Linux software that can perform similar functions. 
 
Overclocking support was added in the 337 Linux drivers, in a manner similar to the "coolbits" setting in the old Detonator drivers. There's a guide for Linux Mint here. 

Linux only has a 2% market share, definitely not worth developing for.

Why users are keeping Linux from gaining market shareIf you've ever wondered why Linux still struggles with market share, the community's answer to a newbie question could shed some light.
 
 
 
 
* then way down about paragragph #7 *
 

Attitude

At the beginning of 2017, I predicted that Linux would finally break the 5% market share barrier. This cannot happen if the overriding attitude in the Linux community is, "If you have to ask, Linux isn't for you."
 
 
* and ends with *
 
Linux is a remarkable platform that can do anything the competition can — even attract new users. But as long as there are those refusing to accept a flood of n00bs into the fold, those new users will remain at arm's length.
 
 
 
 
 
personally, I say true, but 1/2 a cop out.
devs need to stay up with the apps that go along with newer hardware and the popular uses.
otherwise have happening exactly what this thread points out.
 
 
 
 
 BTW,
2% "market share" equals how many users to ignore?
 
 ACCORDING TO WIKI...
"There are "three big personal computing platforms",[3] two of which claim over 1.4 billion users, Android and Windows. The third "platform" – or strictly two (or three) platforms – Apple's iOS and macOS combined, have over 1 billion users.[3]"
 
3,400,000,000 - 2% (68,000,000) = 3,332,000,000
                                       ^
                  Linux users deemed not worth the effort.
 
 BTW 2,
ALSO FROM WIKI
From late 2016 the mobile era took over, with the desktop computers' market share (measured by web usage; including macOS) was down to 45.22% in January 2017,[6] an "end of an era"[7] was declared by StatCounter for Windows (and the desktop in general) as no longer most popular, since smartphones alone – excluding tablets – because of Android, have majority use globally.
 
 
 

i believe LESS THAN 10% of what any corp states.
 
MORE SO, MS, Apple, Samsung, etc...
 
 
Infact, wiki i the only one that doesn't have a vested interest in padding the numbers.
 
 
which means, any one of those corps, or anyone else,  could post to wiki whatever they want.
 
 
 
so, 1 source, 10 sources.... dosn't matter, cause no one truly knows how many ppl are using which OS's and none the corps are going to admit by what number, they lose to another
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

doesn't surprise me.
but atleast with wiki, anyone can edit.
whilst wiki hopes for supporting documentation, it isn't required.
 
think wiki said it was 2016....
MS was quoted as saying, almost 1B use win10
got questioned about it and and they recalulated to 400k
 
 
is why i said, one source is as good as another.... none can prove it.
 
 I currently have 3 ver of windows (got 4), and 2 ver of linux.
on drives that I can swap in and out.
 
But I only actually use win 7 and mint 18
 
but then if want to be technical, I also got Dos 6.2 and unknown ver of various parts of linux on cd & pens.
 
so no one can truely make head or tails of any of the number claims.
 
 
The numbers I seen in the wiki article, were mostly based from website stats, and official claims from the OS's.
which really also mean nothing considering the browser addons that allow user agent changing, on the fly.
 
I guess I'd come closest to believing distro watch, over anyone. ... still though, truth is up for grabs (all to often).

I think before this can happen NVIDIA needs to provide Better Drivers and Current Drivers for at lest Ubuntu.

Any possibilities to control dual FANs iCX in Linux? From my tets when you set fixed fan speed in nvidia setting under Linux - its set up only GPU fan speed, VRM fan - stopped and not working. Thus this limits the OC possibilities of a cards... :( When it set to auto from boot - bot fans works, but only how BIOS says - to low for good OC.

would love to see support for better fan control in linux, for GPU overclocking you can add the coolbits to your x11 config file and get basic fan control (no curves though) I use MX-17 linux and it by far the best i have ever used, nvidia driver are snap to install along with a ton of other apps, the snapshot feature is a god sent feature that every OS should have.

and pay that person
I've already paid to EVGA - why should I pay again? For feature that any other manufacturer have? :) Just make chained fans (2 or 3) RPM controlling when NV driver say so - that it.
 
Other feature leave to W/POC - ok. No Linux support? - ok. Coz this is extra features no one have.

Sorry, the way EVGA designed it, it is not so easily possible for the NVIDIA driver to be able to control all the fans at once. EVGA's asynchronous fan feature is special and requires additional software which is not built into NVIDIA's drivers. The asynchronous fans are controlled be separate microcontrollers which do not interact at all with NVIDIA's drivers. Only the main fan interacts with NVIDIA's drivers. For the asynchronous fans to be controlled, you must talk to them in software individually. There is no such thing as "linking" them in hardware. You have to use software to link them. So, you need a programmer to do it.

What are you talking about? Other manufacturers support?! No other manufacturer has the asynchronous fan feature! Not all of EVGA's cards have asynchronous fans. You happened to choose a model which does. Your regret is all your own.

You purchased the product with access to the feature list, but now you regret your decision. I am sorry.

I told you your options. EVGA's software does not support Linux. EVGA in general does not support Linux; it says so right in the Download section of their website. Sorry. If you want Linux support, you must find it yourself. To start with, I gave you 3 good options.

So the link nv-driver <-> evga microcontroller do exist, according to you. Just add second and third fan to it. No problem ;)
 
What are you talking about? Other manufacturers support?! No other manufacturer has the asynchronous fan feature!
The feature when all fans RPM is controlled through nV driver. BTW previous to iCX EVGA cards had this feature, new with iCX don't. For example - I want to use RivaTuner in Windows - can I change both fans RPM there? No. But for god's sake why??? When this feature was earlier in EVGA products? :)
 
Linux not the question, forget about it already. The question is good OC when you don't have POC.
 
I gave you 3 good options.
ty, maybe I will, or maybe EVGA will. We'll se :)

Im aslo getting away from windows, we need more support for linux please

Wonder why no one is asking the same of MSI Afterburner.

Well, speaking as the number 24 contributor in the world for "Folding@Home" I had 18 cards (all EVGA) and now down to 12 (still only 2 Zotac) doing 15 million ppd, I would LOVE to see a xprecison version for linux, since ALL my folding foxes use it. Linux is 30% more ppd for the same cards. I have 5 2080TI cards, and 3 2060 cards, 2 1080TI's, and 2 1070TI's (the Zotacs)
 
I think this also does not show in any stats, and all my team mates at Anandtech also use linux for any GPU usage for the same reason. Since we all use it, and its free, who calculates these stats  on OS usage ? I don't believe them.
 
Oh, and BTW, my reason for wanting it is fan control over-ride(up to 75% constant) and UNDER-volting.
