I changed my GPU from an RTX 3070 XC3 ULTRA to an RTX 3070 FTW3. 
 
While using my old XC3, the precision software worked fine. I could do whatever I wanted to.
 
As soon as I replaced my XC3 with an FTW3 the software quit working and kept telling me "a system restart is needed to install the correct firmware update. Please reboot before proceeding" every time I tried to open the software, so I uninstalled it (and this was version 1.1.9.0). Nothing changes, it doesn't work, it only forces my system to restart.
 
I've also uninstalled all of my drivers, unplugged the GPU, unplugged the PSU, but recently I tried downloading a different version of precision (version 1.1.0.9 for 30 series only). This version works, however, it doesn't work too well because the RGB controls are broken. 
 
I do want to point out that the card performs as expected. I never used precision for controlling fans or overclocking, I've always used afterburner to do it and that still works. 
 
Not sure what to do, this is incredibly frustrating. I just want my RGBBBBBBBBBBBBBB ;-;
 
 
EDIT: apparently I can't put a link to my 50 second video showing the problem for whatever reason.... Put https:// in front of this youtu .be /nNzlrjzsn7M

    There's a hidden folder from the install that may not be properly uninstalled that is keeping settings from your old card.
     
    Someone else might know where it is, but you can try uninstalling PX1 and restarting (it's important to restart) and then reinstall PX1.
     
    If that doesn't work and someone else doesn't chime in, EVGA support should be able to direct you to that hidden folder to delete it: https://www.evga.com/about/contactus/

    Were you able to find a solution to this?  I recently went from an XC3 to FTW3 and the RGB is just not working at all.
