Since when is this? I just upgraded to the latest edition of that software and now I'm gonna have to dig out the serial number for my card. Thanks EVGA for making this more difficult than it needs to be. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

well now the overclock scanner is 10 series only

I still got the privet messages I had with them over this and that was pointed out this is why you need the s/n so they don't allow you to down load and use a program not for your card

''In order to get Precision XOC is to have a 10 series card registered on your EVGA account, otherwise it will not download or work.

When you go into your EVGA account and under MY PRODUCTS does it show that you have registered products?''


thing was I was not wanting that just per,x 16 nothing else .. man it was a ordeal / joke for me as well with that but they did fix it and I was then able to acess the download page and use the new mirror and download...
well did you not register your evga card when you bought it [30 days I think] ?? I also had issue with them on there software but they did resolve it after I pointed some things out like why do I have to go to a 3ed party to get there software and its a shame your evga fan boys recommend MIS afterburner over your product then in a week they did add a new download mirror that worked as expected and all was then well and good .. still you have to have a registered card to access ther download mirrors or go through steam and there clients [yuck]

any way theres a sticker on the back of the card that has that info on it so its not that hard to get the s/n

I have my original box, deep in my closet, I just think it's odd that I've been using this software for more than a year with this particular EVGA card, and the previous card I had come to think of it, and now with a single upgrade in software they want the registration number. And I'm sure I registered the card when I bought it. It's a 970 I bought in Feb 2015, prior to that I had a EVGA 660, both using Precision X to control the fans/OC. Just seems odd they suddenly want the Serial Number.

dude I was getting pissed with them and let them know it I mean spend 600 bucks on a 980 ti and then go through all that hoop jumping ?? I got 13 private messages with them on that crap -

thing is where did the forum threads go ??? I know I posted all my issue in one and there were 2 or 3 more complaining as me and I posted in them as well [gone / removed ]

heck there not even listed in my profile pages thing anymore

Ahhh, see they let me DL it already, it's just the first time you open it it's prompting me for the serial number. Now it makes sense. Thanks for that. They should say that right on the DL page instead of just "Mirror 1" and "Mirror 2"

fu*% EVGA. I hate it how you have to sign up or login to download their gpu utility. I know you can get it elsewhere but I don't want to risk getting infectious files.

MSI Afterburner all the way.
 
so your good now ?? ya, theses now mirror 1 and 2 then steam see when I had issues with it there was only mirror 1 and steam then that week of my ranting to them mirror2 was added and it worked as expected with out issue

don't know it was a mess / joke but its now water under the bridge they could be more clear on it as well

so good luck and enjoy

well , well something new as well
