So a lot of us use EVGA's Precision X overclocking and monitoring software and for the most part it gets the job done and looks rather nice.

Like previous incarnations of software there is always something shinier around the corner.



Introducing EVGA Precision X 5.0







​
System Requirements



  • Microsoft Windows 8.1 / 8 / 7 / Vista
  • GeForce GTX TITAN, 700, 600 series recommended


Key Features


  • GPU, Memory and Voltage Control
  • Power Target Control
  • Pixel Clock Overclocking – OC your refresh rate!
  • Integrated Steam Achievements (Steam Version)
  • Frame Rate Target Control
  • Custom Fan Control/Fan Curve
  • Profiling system allowing up to 10 profiles with hotkey
  • Robust monitoring including ingame OSD with 64 and 32bit support
  • In game screenshot hotkey supports BMP and JPG formats
  • Support for wireless Bluetooth overclocking via custom Android app


The new version of Precision X has 64bit support built right into it so your important monitoring tools i.e temps, volts, memory usage etc... will show up just fine ingame or mid benchmark.


I've been using it for the past few hours and it's a nice upgrade from Precision X 4.2.1.


And as a nice bonus for convenience it has been added to Steam so keeping up to date is automatic and easy Here and seeing though it's been added to Steam, Achievements have also been added as a cool little touch which you can see below -

Have a tinker around and let me know what you think of the upgraded version.

Started getting blue screens on start up since i installed this version anyone else getting the same problem?
 
So,Unwinder decided to let EVGA have the 64bit support then,only 9-10 months behind MSI,even though he said they would NOT get it.

I'm not using it as I use HWINFO to monitor CPU temps etc... so Rivatuner 6.12 is still being used but it's nice to know it's there :)

boot into safe mode, once logged in press the start key and "r" key simultaneously, type in "msconfig" and from there disable the evaga precision from automaticly starting up, see if that helps and to see if its that thats causing the bsod

It's not me who is having the issues bud :p

*Edit* Good quick edit there ^_^
 
Can't wait to crack out the GTS 450 to try this out : )))))))))))))))))
Jokes aside this software got me into GPU OCing back in the day. One of the few things I like about EVGA ;).
 
Sooooooo,things have got interesting:

http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/ev...rtss-design-concept-into-precisionx-15,9.html

EVGA today is launching a new build of PrecisionX, this will be build 15. EVGA has made a move to developing the tweaking utility in-house, meaning they will cut ties with the previous developing programmer. By itself interesting news, but unfortunately this has to be the most awkward story I have ever written in the history of Guru3D.com Did EVGA copy the entire Rivatuner design and features concept from the original programmer

Well, new EVGA Precision X is released so I was finally able to peek inside it and quickly review the contents of “100% in-house” development.

Everything is even worse than I expected.
Original EVGA Precision EXE resources and dialog templates were copy-pasted to “in-house” project as is, even original dialog control IDs are the same. Company PRs already claim that GUI is 100% designed by EVGA which is sadly not true, company designed concept art of EVGA Precision skin only. All product properties, entire monitoring section, setting and so on came from directly original RivaTuner (and were available in other RivaTuner based products like HIS iTurbo years before Precision was born) and EVGA has no relation to designing them at all. So company directly violated our license agreement terms and reverse engineered licensed binaries to copy data from it and represent it as their own design.
EVGA completely cloned original RivaTuner’s RTMUI multilanguage context help system and localization engine. Contents of “Help” and “Localization” folders were copy-pasted to new product as is from original Precision, including localization and GUI translation databases for different languages. “Help” folder contains direct mapping of dialog IDs to help files, I guess getting easy access to it as direct reason of “copying” original dialog templates with original dialog IDs. So the company also violated our license agreement terms and redistributed parts of original product without permission.
Even “in-house” skin still uses my original raster fonts from old good RivaTuner. But at least that can be partially justified. Out intellectual property ownership terms of agreement define that I own software product copyrights, the company exclusively owns the product distribution rights as well as non-software intellectual properties like trademarks, product name, logos and artwork I create for them during the contract. So you may try to fit “copied” fonts in this category if you close eyes on the fact that it came from original RT.
Fun thing, even for the installer of “in-house” product the company copy-pasted my own license agreement from original installer, which contains my own third party components licensing terms and direct restriction on reverse engineering or redistributing them. Probably you’ll at least read what exactly do you copy paste, EVGA?
The most sad and painful thing for me is that the company entirely copy-pasted RivaTuner’s unique concepts of displaying data into On-Screen Display. RvaTuner Statistics Server was the first tool in the industry that introduced the concept of in-game hardware monitoring via OSD back in 2005, I spent almost than 10 years on polishing it. And most sad thing for me is that original Precision was not supposed to include such functionality, so it is not included in development budget and royalty fees. I added RTSS to Precision in one of the first versions completely free of any licensing fees just to help the company to promote new tool and it truly became one of the most important application features. So it was used during more than 5 years completely free (and the company was never brave to admit that) and in final they originally “thanked” for free OSD usage by stealing it. EVGA’s brand new “in-house” OSD is also open a simple rip of open source FW1FontWrapper overlay. And If I were the developer of FW1FontWrapper, I’d read the story of RTSS and think 1000 times about it.

Even Hilbert from G3D has posted on the evga forums:

Jacob, Hilbert from Guru3D.com here.

You keep running in repetitive circles that you didn't use any code from Rivatuner, Alexeys observation already indicated otherwise.
Next to that it isn't solely about the code is it ? You / EVGA literately took any and every idea from the Rivatuner codebase you could use, including the config UI interface. There is no walking away from this Jacob, it is called plagiarism and it is a tag that from now on will always be attached to EVGA PrecisionX.

As stated in my article, you guys have every right to develop a proper in-house tool. Instead somehow you guys figured it was OK to make a replicated clone of the Rivatuner design interface with your own Skin attached to it. My honest advice here, pull this software while you still can. Go back to the drawing board and redesign the software in such a manner that it doesn't look like a cheap rip-off of Alexeys software.

You can hide behind statements and brainwash everybody that you didn't use anything from Alexey. But the fact is that even if you coded everything in-house, you guys stole his life-work by replicating and cloning it. Make the right choice while you still can my man, this isn't going to do EVGA any good. We have know each other for many years with great mutual respect, but I am afraid you guys are passing a threshold here that will taint EVGA for the rest of its existence.

Btw - small note - you guys even copied and pasted the Rivatuner's Llicense agreement EULA - literally.

Am I blind or isn't there a voltage option on it? I can't find it on there. Thanks for the post, Dice.

EDIT: Found it, at least it lets you go above 1187mV on stock BIOS.

Your welcome, I don't think the voltage setting is entirely stable though as a lot of people have been reporting errors and bad bugs from using 1.3v option

This is why having things like this on steam are a bad idea:

This is a gem from that thread:

The only 2GHz overclock that I'm aware of required the user to solder a total of 16GB of additional VRAM onto the PCB of his card to account for memory clock limitations

I don't even......

Holy crap how did he fit all the vram on the pcb. either it was a fully custom pcb or he was using really high density chips
