AURA Rainbow vs Color Cycle

Jabbl

Hey!
Recently got a Z270F with Trident Z ram sticks and a Strix 1080, so of course I downloaded Aura to get the most out of it.

Now, for me the "Color cycle" mode is silky smooth, the transitions between colours is perfect and the leds fade from one to the other.
However, when I set the "Rainbow" mode, I can see the leds changing colour in steps (not large ones though), and the whole thing seems more "stuttery".
My question is if this is normal, or if something borked during first installation, as I have later tried to uninstall and use the Aura Cleaner before reinstalling with no improvement.

It may be important to note that I first installed the GPU Aura program before Aura Sync. Don't know if this somehow messed things up.

Thanks in advance!

I have updated mine, while he hasn't, because my keyboard wasn't recognized by the bios without it.
Though after more testing, it seems the problem lies in the graphics card (sadly).
If I unsync it, the motherboard and RAM are doing the rainbow smoothly, but if I include it, the rainbow goes back to stuttermode.

Because of this, I tried REVO-uninstalling the "Aura for Graphics cards and [...]", but to no avail.
I don't know why my 1080 is murdering the rainbow effect, but I suspect the Graphics card Aura and normal Aura are somehow incompatible.
(As far as I know, my friend did not install aura for gaphics)
