As a Computer Science graduate student, and aspiring software designer, it is appalling to be subjected to the level of competence the XOC team continues to demonstrate. How is it possible that the OSD cant be reliably disabled? Getting it to work as well as Afterburner's is admittedly a challenge, but maintaining the ability to turn it off in response to its inferiority shouldn't be. 
Next, the asynchronous fans of two, and soon to be three, of the latest iCX SKUS require XOC to work as designed. That's fine. But how is executing that hardware/software connection not a priority? And it definitely isnt; since so many different FTW/SC2 users that have contributed to this thread have observed potentially dangerous malfunctions across various configurations, it's clear that EVGA is either not testing XOC with all their SKUS, which is unacceptable, or are testing an infinitesimal subset of configurations with which they advertise compatibility. How are changes listed as bugfixes actually in worse shape than the version they're "repairing"? I mean, they had to pull down an XOC version because it didn't work with one of their own and newest SKUS. What is that? Is QA broken or non-existent? Is the team having difficulty using github? Do they not have SKUS to test on? Are they just relying on free beta testing to test their software?
Maybe someone's VRMs need to fail, due to their dedicated fan ignoring its curve, to inspire EVGA to apportion either more talent or more money to this design team, because these latest XOC versions have been an embarrassment to the company.

Hello everyone!
 
Sorry for the delay and lack of response while we worked on this. We have been able to replicate the issue, and we're working on implementing a fix. 
 
Regarding warranty, I can assure you that we have always allowed overclocking of our graphics cards, and we will continue to support any EVGA graphics card under warranty that may potentially become damaged from overclocking using PrecisionX OC. Not every manufacturer supports overclocking, so make sure to check your warranty terms if you intend to use PrecisionX OC with a non-EVGA card!

Thanks for the extremely late reply, but no you don't honor warranties when Precision destroys cards. Even when the person doesn't apply any overclock. You claim you will warranty cards killed by Precision, yet you have this disclaimer on the Precision download page that says otherwise.

"By choosing to download the software, you affirm that EVGA Precision XOC is supplied "as-is". EVGA Corporation assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of EVGA Precision XOC."

Also, you still haven't pulled 6.1.10 from the download page. It should have been pulled the second this issue was reported to you.

The ACX cards, which you would have with normal FTW 1080s, are likely unaffected since the second fan is locked to the behavior of the GPU fan.

The only reason this affects iCX cards is because it is impossible to lock the second, third fans in the case of FTW3, to follow the behavior of the first GPU fan. If we could do that, we could avoid using Precision entirely and just go back to what many of us have been doing for years and just use Afterburner for everything.

You also have read nothing in this thread, or else you would have never posted your smug and useless post in the first place. What you.manually overclock your cards to is irelavent to the issue at hand here. This issues has nothing to do with overclock and affects iCX cards even with default fan profiles.

It's actually WORSE for people who use default fan profiles because under the default profile, and you'd know this if you actually knew what you were talking about, the Power/VRM fan(s) don't spin at all until they are under load. So for iCX users their second and/or third fans will never, ever, spin, no matter how hot their cards get, no matter what load they are under, with version 6.1.10.

EVGA, if you read this, I just want you to know that being forced to use XOC with my 1080ti FTW3 (if I want the fans to function properly) is making me regret my decision to purchase an EVGA card.  This is my first, and will be my last, EVGA card if this is how it's going to be.  I doubt you care about possibly losing one customer, but I just needed to say it.
 
1.  Using the OSD either in game, or just having the hardware monitoring window open on my second screen, causes significant keyboard input lag, to the point that games are unplayable.
2.  The OSD randomly decides to toggle itself on or off when I start up the program.  It won't just stay off.
3.  As of 6.1.1, my fan curves are screwed up and the fans don't work properly.  I had to delete and reinstall 6.0.8.
4.  Custom fan curves are never saved.  If I have a custom fan curve set up, and select either quiet or aggressive and then go back to my custom, it's just stuck on aggressive and I have to remake the whole thing.
5.  At least for Forza Horizon 3, but according to another post they have issues with all Windows Store games, using XOC causes the game to not run at all.  I can sometimes get past the loading screen, but always within a minute of launching into the game it hard crashes.
6.  Using the frame rate target is buggy.  I have a 144Hz monitor, so I set it to a 142 FPS limit.  My games get limited to 132 FPS for some reason.
 
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but there have been a few other things.  Before I went EVGA, I had Asus cards and used Afterburner.  I never had any issues even remotely like these.

Are you using DisplayPort or HDMI? If so, does the cable you use to connect to your monitor conform to at least DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0 standard?
 
I had BSODs after exiting Fallout 4 at 4K every single time. I then changed the value for V-Sync to "Off" in the Nvidia Control Panel and the BSODs stopped but still had problems. I then bought a DisplayPort cable certified for 1.2 and I have no more problems whatsoever - except for those damned fan profiles.
 
I have the EVGA 1080 Ti SC2 and my monitor is an ASUS PB287Q.

I'm not 100% sure what type of Displayport cable I'm using, but it's the one that came with my monitor, an Acer XB270Hu.  I'd check the cable, but it's kind of hard to access.

Same here, I used the DisplayPort cable that came with my monitor and that obviously was not up the job of communicating with my monitor at anything higher than DisplayPort 1.1 specs.


I would spend the money and get a certified DisplayPort 1.2 cable. It's not going to break the bank and it eliminates one potential source of your problems.

This 100% shouldn't be an issue though.  I briefly had an Asus Strix 1080 ti and I was using Afterburner and there were no issues whatsoever.

That way, those of us who want to, can avoid using Precision altogether. Buying an EVGA card should not require the use of Precision. MSI and other brands pull that nonsense by locking the max advertised clock speeds behind the need to have their software installed. A practice EVGA prided themselves on not don't themselves.

But locking iCX owners into using Precision is no different.

6.1.10 still not working? Or they solved the issues?

EVGA_JacobF
This is fixed in 6.1.11 that is live now.
