Please submit this to the precision x16 15.2.0 thread at: http://forums.evga.com/m/..aspx?m=2218191&p=10 so they can all be compiled. I removed this program nearly immediately because it crippled my games on a 3930k with tri SLI, and caused major lag. This is probably something to do with a bad code error somewhere.

I am sticking with 4.2.1 until I see that it is corrected.  I tried it off the bat, and people will notice this thread, but since there are already 10+ threads on how messed up the software is acting, then this thread is going to get lost as well.  
 
I have a link to 4.2.1 in mny dropbox, if you would like to use that as well.  It is a working copy and can utilize RivaTuner as well.

I switched to Afterburner. Unwinder is still updating that piece of software. It works great. The thing that EVGA did, that was stupid, is fail to think about the fact that Unwinder had already worked out all the kinks by the time they dumped him. Now, they have to work all the kinks out of their own new software. Again, I'd switch to Afterburner. EDIT: I am still haven't updated to the new Afterburner though.

EVGA didn't dump Unwinder.  Unwinder refused to update his software, refused to support his software, and threatened to rip up his contract with EVGA at a moments notice.  EVGA had to create their own software in order to keep the Precision project going.  If it weren't for Precision X 16, version 4.2.1 would still be the current version.

You mean the last working version? LOL.




One in the same, yes.  The point is that there would never be a newer version of Precision because Unwinder quit.  So, either we would have these broken versions which we can assume will eventually morph into working versions, or we would have only that one version 10 years from now.  Which is better?  Would you rather be stuck in the past with a version that doesn't keep up with changing technology over the years, or would you rather keep developing into the future with a new version (even though it might not work properly now)?
 
My basic argument is that Unwinder quit.  He wasn't dumped.  EVGA had no other option but to start over from scratch in order to keep the project alive.

All I know is the new version uses 16GB of RAM at execution ...

What!?

... then proceeds to eat 80% of my CPU usage somehow.

And what!?

I'm just glad on my end the program works.  Seems to be fine with no glitches, so keep working on it EVGA and all the bad will become good.  No program has ever ran perfect when it first comes out.  Yes I know it is version 5.2.8:)

I too had tried Precision X 16 multiple times. Really messed with my video with multiple monitors and trying to game. The latest version of AfterBurner (4.1.0) seems to be rock solid. Especially with trying multiple monitors, resolutions and graphics cards (as I have been doing for a few weeks).
I do miss the interface/skin on Precision. Much cleaner and easier to read than AfterBurner, but if it doesn't work, prettiness isn't enough.
