So after testing further I was wrong. It is not just the green color. The Badge led has trouble with the lighter version of every color and it defaults to the base of that color. Tested with two different 1080 Ti FTW3 in two different computers and got same problem. The backplate led has no trouble with the same color and is able to display it correctly. I think its a bug in the EVGA Precision X software can someone else test this
Same issue here on 6.2.7 atleast.
I don't know if we should see this as a bug in Precision XOC, did you also update Precision XOC to another version?
I think the RGB leds in the FTW3 aren't that flexible and lighter colours tend to become more cyan-ish with a touch of green here and there.
And there is the possibility the Badge LED isn't capable of the same as the backplate one but I don't know.
I normally don't spend too much time into the whole RGB business and just keep it a solid deep colour.
For example I tried these two different settings:
In both cases the Badge LED at the front shows no noticeable difference, the brightness is set to the same value as the cyan colour next to it.
The backplate LED does show a slight difference when using these two settings in my situation.
I even see the backplate change from shade through my red-led fans while the badge is in pretty clear sight.
I always found that the lighting behind the badge was acting weird, because white isn't true-white but cyan/light green ish as seen on the pictures below in contrast to the badge led colours:
I made these pictures for my review of the videocard using Precision XOC 6.1.6 at the time, it looks like nothing has changed since.
Actually now I think of it, a friend runs two in SLI and they seem to exhibit the same led colour issue when set to white. (because he can't be bothered to change from default)
