2080 Ti - and question RGB FUSION and Gigabyte Xtreme Engine

My advice to you is this, if you are not going to overclock (with a 2080Ti you really DO NOT have to overclock unless you're doing something crazy like running 3 or 4 4K screens gaming at once), even if you have just the one or two 4K screens, the 2080Ti is beefy enough to handle that at regular clocks.

My guess is RGB FUSION set the RGB to the default, but it would not mess with your clocks, RGB FUSION is just for RGB colors alone, nothing else. You can use it to set your RGB colors, it won't affect your cards clock at all.

Just do yourself a favor and DO NOT overclock your card unless you know what you are doing, overclocking is better left to someone who has a better understanding of computers, or else you run the risk of damaging your hardware. Usually it's not recommended to fiddle with your clock speeds unless you've been building up and breaking down computers for 5 to 7 years -at least-. And even then you need to take care. You need to have solved a bunch of problems and errors and fixed your PC yourself for a long time to earn the right to overclock lol.

I'll put it to you this way, there isn't a game your system can't handle if the rest of it's specs are similar to the 2080Ti, not a game under the sun. You can play -any- game at 4K without having any problems at all. (except maybe Anthem, but then again Anthem is so poorly optimized and has so many bugs that it puts unnecessary stress on the system, I have a RTX 2080 and my system was nearly brought to it's knees, although the RTX 2080Ti is a hell of a lot more powerful than the RTX 2080)

 

Good. Ok don't worry you're safe. All RGB FUSION did was change the colors to white because that is it's default setting, so basically it was "taking over" as it were your PC's RGB colors, that is all. Now you should be able to use RGB FUSION to change your colors to whatever you like.

Side note, mentioned this in the other thread, don't install more than one program for changing RGB because they will conflict (fight each other). And then you get errors. You should be able to change every LED in your system with just RGB FUSION.

Again, another side note, don't expect the change to be permanent. I am able to change all my fans LEDs, my video card has none so its not included, but my RAM just listens for a while then does it's own thing, reverting back to it's default settings. RGB can sometimes just go and do it's own thing without caring how you want it to look depending on the component. If you're lucky this won't happen, but just to warn you.

 

No, the clocks won't change without your interaction. Don't worry. And it's okay, asking questions is what smart people do. Dumb people remain quiet and suffer in silence lol. Makes them look smart sometimes, but, at what cost?

 

Yes. The colors are not connected to your GPU clock. Different circuitry on the motherboard completely.

 

Yes. I'll give an example. Your RAM operates at a certain speed, your CPU operates at a certain speed, your PSU provides a certain amount of power, basically they are all separate. Even your monitor operates at a certain refresh rate and resolution.

The clocks are basically how fast your video cards memory and processing unit work. When RGB FUSION changed the color it sent commands to the connectors your fans and RGB LEDs are connected to telling them "change color to white". This is why your Gigabyte Xtreme Engine says that nothing happened and is reporting 0 overclock numbers, because they have not been changed.

 

No you're fine.

 

I try.

 

Looks like that is the way it is set up. Since white is the default.
