Mobile cards are not supported.

Oh no, why!!!




1) EVGA doesn't make mobile cards
2) Mobile cards are highly proprietary.
 
Desktop cards are easy to support because EVGA makes them and competitor's desktop cards are very similar and usually are essentially identical.  Mobile cards are highly proprietary.  Mobile cards use various different open or closed standards as far as how they connect to the laptop's motherboard and also can use various open or closed standards in regards to fan control.
 
EVGA Precision AND MSI Afterburner have NEVER supported mobile cards.  Some functions of the programs may or may not work with mobile cards; but the programs themselves were never designed to be used with a mobile card.



Nah, I don't really think so! I still have some old version that supports very well my graphic card. I overclock my current gpu with them! And if I remember well, in one of these versions was mentioned also the support with my series! They simply forgot about them!
See this for example!





Reading comprehension:  "Works" and "supported" are two different things.
 
I will quote a line from ReadMe.pdf included with the version of Precision in your "example" above.
ReadMe.pdf
Integrated and mobile graphics cards are not officially supported

 
No version of Precision or Afterburner has ever supported any mobile card.  Read the documentation which comes with your version of Precision which "works" (/Doc/ReadMe.pdf subscript 1).  It clearly says in the documentation that mobile cards are not supported.  For instance, notice that the fan speed is grayed out in your screenshot. ;)

Yeah, I know, indeed I was verifying what the old version reported about the 9 series and then I corrected my previous post. I know very well that the fan speed isn't supported but as I said I think that also the desktop 9 series isn't supported with this new version, otherwise my mobile card would have been supported too. :)
For example I don't see an easy and correct way to overclock the shader like in the old versions. :P

By what line of thinking do you determine that a desktop series would determine whether your mobile card would be supported? Your mobile card would not be supported and never has been supported. Once again, I think you are mixing up the words "works" and "supported". If your mobile card ever worked with Precision, it is simply by dumb luck. Whether it should continue to work with newer versions of Precision is determined by the word "supported" which is no. Whether it might continue to work with newer versions of Precision falls back on dumb luck.

You might be right when you insist on the difference between support and work but I used "support" with different shades of meaning in this case and this may have contributed to the confusion.
But I don't agree when you say it's simply because of a "dumb luck" because my gpu is similar to a certain desktop 9 series gpu and descends from the same core. Probably it's because of this why it works. I'm always fine with the Precision versions that support 9 series and probably it'll continue to work for the versions that will support this series and I would be happy if they do.

For your happiness
I know very well that the fan speed didn't work but as I said I think that also the desktop 9 series isn't supported with this new version, otherwise my mobile card would have worked too.

I'm not a fan of the hardware monitor showing all GPUs in the same graph.  Can they be split out, and if not, could EVGA please add that?  Maybe they don't need to all display at the same time, but if you click the GPU at the top of the monitor, it switches the graph display to that GPU.  I'd also like to be able to arrange the order, as in the previous version, and some flexibility to arrange the OSD the way I want.
 
One trivial bug I noticed.. the display of the GPU info (below the sliders) is neat, but I have 2 780Tis and a 670 for physix installed.  When I switch to the 670, a generic "precision x16" logo is displayed, even if I switch the GPU selection back to a 780ti.
 
Not bad for the first release of the new precision.  It has a lot of potential.

^ I have a 670 as my main GPU and it doesn't have the name of the GPU in the place you're talking about. It might just be an issue with the 670 or the 600 line of cards.

Which skin is this? Does it work with the latest version? (16).

It is the old, old, original Precision skin from 2008.
 
No, it is not compatible with the latest version.  (not without being totally redone and no new skin documentation is available for the new version yet anyways)
