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. RivaTuner 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. Unwinder states: 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.

The installer in which Precision X is packaged, ironically, continues to feature the licence agreement copied over from the older version. Unwinder alleges that the latest version of Precision X, the one EVGA claims to be an in-house development, continues to be largely based on RivaTuner, including the more superficial bits of it, such as user interface dialog control IDs (the way the app takes inputs from the user), and text from the multilingual help system. The RivaTuner base, derived from Unwinder's pioneering VGA tweaking app, forms a vast majority of the code of the likes of Precision and Afterburner, with clients going only as far as to innovate shiny skins and UI ideas, or add-on features (ideas), which are then put into code by Unwinder. EVGA Precision was originally based on RivaTuner codebase, which developer Alex 'Unwinder' Nicolaychuk licences out to several major VGA add-in board manufacturers the more popular being MSI Afterburner. EVGA allegedly violated the license agreement it held with the original developer of its Precision overclocking and monitoring app, when it developed the latest version of its Precision X 15 app, featuring what it claimed to be a '100 percent in-house' back-end code.
