Yes they do Doug, that's why its strange their software don't support 3 fans.

Not with ICX controls/drivers

Mike let me explain it a little more:

My Zotac has 3 fans, but the all run off of a single PWM controller on the card, and all my fans run at the same speed(synchron), same with MSIs.
Your card has ICX with different sensors(nine I believe, and the fans run asynchronous each fan at its own PWM, hence own speed, and own fan curve.

Afterburner doesn't support this as MSI fans all run same speed, same fan curve.
When you use an ICX card, only the first fan PWM is seen, but not the others.

There is a workaround for this, but you have to use both XOC and Afterburner. Turn all 3 fans up high in XOC, then close it. Now you can use Afterburner all you want, and the card stays cool. Just a pain in the butt is all. I've used afterburner a few times to get some of my scores.

For the basics in overclocking most tools are the same, ie power, clocks, voltage etc., it's the card specifics that one needs their own version.
For example, I only open Zotac FireStorm to set my RGB, but use Afterburner because the OSD can be customized and tweaked,

plus you can get benchmark results by pressing ctrl + S(See benchmark tab) and get info like this(probably better to use during gaming and not while running actual benchmarks):

This will be my next Evga card Cliff.....just not sure when right now.

EVGA - Products - EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 11G-P4-2487-KR, 11GB GDDR6, iCX2 & RGB LED - 11G-P4-2487-KR

It sure isn't that pretty with that cheap looking clear plastic look, but being EVGA FTW3 and a 2080Ti, in has power

I just figured out you CAN run the MSIOCScanner on a 1080 Ti

With the Turing cards you get to the scanner by opening the V/F curve editor, but on older cards that doesn't work.

While looking for something else in Afterburners install folder I found the OCScanner application and clicked it for the hell of it.
It opened
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\Bundle\OCScanner

First you set your mem clocks and core clocks to default, and give your card power in Nvidia settings(like usual) then click Test, it'll test the card, then you will have the scan option.

My results:

I just looked and there is no \Bundle\OCScanner in my Afterburner dir.
