However, true feature parity would require EVGA to recreate features that Nicolaychuk had originally developed over a number of years, so Precision X 16 still isn’t quite as comprehensive a utility as Precision X 4.2 was, as we will uncover when delving further into the utility. Though it's in an odd spot to create a successor to what was commercially their own program in the first place, EVGA has done their best to retain the majority of the features and options found in their previous RivaTuner based Precision X utility. However due to several bugs and some unresolved issues with Nicolaychuk, EVGA quickly pulled Precision X 15 for further development.Īlthough their in-house development efforts didn’t go as well as initially planned, after a second development cycle EVGA has been able to correct a number of issues and redesign their user interface as well, releasing the revised utility last month as Precision X 16. After discontinuing their development work with RivaTuner’s creator Alexey Nicolaychuk back in July of this year, EVGA released Precision X 15, their first entirely in-house developed version of Precision X. Notable among this article’s features, Precision X 16 is EVGA’s second take on developing an in-house overclocking utility this year. As a result it’s freely downloadable from EVGA’s website and is de-facto compatible with most recent NVIDIA video cards, giving NVIDIA card owners yet another option for a solid second-party developed overclocking utility. However, like other utilities EVGA has not done anything to restrict Precision X to just their video cards. Kicking things off, like many of the video card manufacturer developed overclocking utilities we’re looking at today, officially Precision X is geared towards EVGA video cards.

This latest version of Precision X was introduced with the launch of NVIDIA’s next generation Maxwell video cards, the GeForce GTX 970 and GTX 980. Next up is the recently released Precision X 16 utility from EVGA.
