Just a question.  Will there ever be a fully functional precision X1 software release?
 
There are so many bugs, so much time passing, and still no fixes.  Every single time, and i mean every single release is broken, and if something does get fixed, that very release breaks something else.
 
Then when a fix does finally come along for the new broken settings, then brand new stuff ups is placed in the newest release. wow  
 
Around and around we go.  
 
I ask: Will there ever be a fully functional release without bugs for our VERY expensive video cards?
 
Even the side of the videocard box states how amazing this software is?  hahaha 
 
PLEASE can we get a final functional release EVGA? 

STILL CONSIDERED BETA!!!!   Its been a beta for "years". hahahahahaha FAIL!   Its always a beta. Always, never does it get a final release date, or a fully functional release of the software. NEVER! They always release it in beta form, and have the excuse its in beta because of all the new video cards that come out.  come on

precision has been out for "years", not 3 months, every single release has been a beta that had major issues. everyone knows it, thats why so many people went to the competition to use their software instead, like afterburner. I mean, come on.  

sorry, what has your reply got to do with anything i have been saying?
 
Who cares if its beta, who cares if its made from old code or from scratch.
 
Its a peace of software that doesn't work as stated, and was supposed to be a breakthrough, and the amount of money paid for our cards (which was stated to come with amazing software to unlock the potential of our cards purchased), still doesn't fulfill what it was supposed to do.
 
We don't ask for much, but wow, so many issues with it, its not funny

I'm not happy with it either, but be honest for a change. eVGA isn't a huge company with a lot of devs running around programming..and they certainly don't have scores of QA people to test it either.
 
I'd love them to hire more people and dedicate them to the software that never seems to get done and polished...but that's not gonna happen, I'd say.

I'm really tired of EVGA's defenders.  Let's set the record straight.  EVGA is not a small company by any means. The fact is they can't develop software.  Simply put, EVGA is a hardware company. They never should have developed hardware that relies on software for control and monitoring. 
 
They don't need to hire more developers -- they need to hire some competent developers.  The current staff they have do not know how to code software -- no one here can say otherwise.  This is obvious to anyone that frequents this site and has tried using any form of Precision.  Further, this isn't a complicated piece of software. It's a fan controller / temp monitoring program.  I'll say it for the last time.  The current developers employed by EVGA (probably someone's son or daughter who works there) do not know programming.  Lastly, EVGA refuses to come in here and tell us what is really going on with Precision.
 
It's really a disservice when a lot of us come in here and post real issues only to have them discounted by other users that spend days making Precision function even in a minimal form.  For example, one poster in here says the solution is to manually run the software after each boot and that is an acceptable workaround. No it isn't. This software has serious issues and can literally destroy your gpu if you aren't careful.
 
I can't express my disappointment anymore clearly.  EVGA hire some real developers and get this done. It doesn't take months to produce a piece of software like this. And stop treating your customers like second class citizens.

 
You seem to know a lot about EVGA's employee status and company size.  
 
The GPU doesn't rely on software, it relies on firmware.  The firmware is in place and even updated by EVGA so that the card can, indeed, operate without software. NVidia doesn't make a fancy overclocking program (although they do have a very basic program), and the EVGA card is built around NVidia's design, so the card should function within parameters without the software.
 
You state that it isn't a complicated piece of software.. have you coded software that controls hardware?  I would state not, since you state that this is a fan controller and temp monitoring program.  Precision is by far more than that. Precision can monitor temps and control fans quite well from all of the experience I have with it.  
 
You aren't being treated like a second class citizen.

The software does not work. Defend EVGA and Precision all you want.


 ---
What do my coding skills have to do with the fact that Precision doesn't function? You're just defending them. So, by your argument since I am not a coder I shouldn't expect EVGA to employ programmers that can handle creating what is basically a fan controller program? You're just arguing. 
 
Fact: Precision does not work properly on any iteration of Windows OS or hardware.  Stop defending EVGA.  I didn't say they don't make good hardware, but icx tech is not based on Nvidia ref designs so you are flat wrong there.  ICX is EVGA's design and it is unsupported in software because Precision is non-functional.
 
Look I like EVGA hardware, but until end-users stop letting them off the hook for this it isn't going to get fixed. Are you sating that it is impossible to produce a piece of software that does what EVGA advertises Precision should do?
 
(consolidated two posts into 1 as Bother were a reply to the quote above, by Cool GTX)

Another moderator defending without facts. Look eventually you guys are going to have to admit this software has issues whether it's Precison XOC, X or whatever iteration.  Unfortunately, you see it as your job to defend the software not end users. And, yes I understand forums and threads etc, I'm just trying to get EVGA to listen to users that are having problems and you are downplaying. Downplaying allows them to determine that the software is functioning properly when it is not.
 
Are you really going to be the guy that tells me that because it worked for you that it is my issue and not the software?  I don't think anyone here is going to believe that tired old line anymore.
 
Basically you want to silence anyone that is pointing out problems with Precision.

Dsublett,

Not once have you been silenced. Not once have you been treated as a second class citizen. You are making things sound worse than they are, and that is fine.

ICX tech does work on precision. If it doesn’t, please provide the model of your GPU and version of Precision you are using with a screen shot showing that it doesn’t work, so that the programmer can work on it.

I never once said it doesn’t have issues. Every software has issues or we would live in a perfect world. You misunderstand a conversation versus defending. You are stating there is a mountain, and I am stating that is a mole hill.

As issues are reported, evga works to correct them. If you want to build hundreds of systems using all sorts of hardware, it would help for figuring out what bugs need to be worked on.

You stated that it was a simple program. You don’t seem to have programming experience if you believe that, so that is what it has to do with your programming skills. Precision works, although not perfect, on many versions of windows and many different systems. Again, EVGA can not control or test every variable of component configuration there is.

Don't preach to me I am not a low-level user. I understand what you're saying. But, you guys refuse to admit this software has serious basic issues and does not function.  I'm not gonna argue about this anymore.  I've expressed myself to EVGA directly already.  It would be nice to have you guys support in here instead of getting "no you're wrong...you're not doing it right...it works for me...etc."  I've always been an EVGA supporter, but not anymore.
 
 

Now I do have a question : Is it possible to use the PX1 for my specific (EVGA 1080Ti Hybrid FTW3) GPU?? 
Because at this point I'm willing to try anything that's compatible to my GPU, that will have my (Fan Curve, RGB and OSD) profile settings that will start with Windows and have no issues.

PX1 supports both GTX & RTX cards, so it should work.

Will check on that. Thank You

dsublett,

No one is preaching to you, you aren’t being treated like a second class citizen, no one said you were a low level user, you aren’t being silenced.

Not sure why you are crying wolf. Not even sure why you are making these claims at this point.

My cousin who has the same GPU as me, but a whole different setup, is also having similar issues with his PXOC. 
 
Unfortunately not everyone is having the same good luck as you or works for EVGA having that surrounding (ensuring) that you have the best experience with the product and software compared to us customers.  
 

Have you tried afterburner? I winder stated that he would not program for asynchronous fans a while back when only EVGA had them, but I think he was going to try to. Maybe give the afterburner 4.6 beta a shot and see if it works?

I will state that moderators do not work for EVGA. We get the same support you get. We volunteer to help around the forums.

dsublett,
 
In my last post, I addressed very specific things about your actions/words/posts, and said nothing about precision to you, but you interpret what is said into what you want to read.  Please take the time to read what is posted, rather than interpreting what you want to read.
 
Also, notice there was a quote AFTER I finished addressing your post, meaning I started talking to a different individual.. not you.  You seem to have taken severe offense that I asked someone with a hybrid card if they had tried afterburner. This message wasn't directed at you, as was noted by the quote from another individual before the question was asked.
 
I have stated many times that EVGA is working on the issues.  Why are you skipping that part and then stating that I haven't admitted it?  Here, I will do it again, for you... Precision has issues and is a work in progress, and EVGA has been pushing updates faster for precision X1 than they have in the past. If you have issues, please report them up with full system specs so that EVGA can try to replicate the issue.. keep in mind, EVGA was closed for most of the holidays that just passed, so it may be a little while before the next update is pushed with more fixes. 
 
Yes, more people are going to report issues.  Believe it or not, that is how this works.  People have to report an issue to get it corrected. 
 
Have you ever used a smart phone and noticed problems?  Apple is/was, a trillion dollar company and has had many issues with their software... If a trillion dollar company with thousands of employees and far more users have issues, you better believe small companies will as well. Apple has taken quite a few weeks to correct relatively major issues that are reported immediately by millions of users.  Android has done the same.. They both have tons of programmers on their staff to correct the issues, but they still happen with every phone and software release.
 
 

I was having horrible luck with X1 precision (0.3.11.0)
Card wouldn't go above 0.9370V

Using MSI Afterburner, I get much better results. 

I really want to use X1 precision, but it made me think my card was defective.
