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.
