Where Did EVGA Precision X Come From?

Well this escalated quickly. "queue Ron Burgundy"

I'm not going to take sides here but, I can provide a little unrelated 3rd party insight. As some of you may know one of my jobs is that of a Web Solution Architect. Over the years I have had clients. A few of them I have fired while others have left for some reason or another. Most that part company do so because they felt I didn't have their best interest in mind, or that somehow I didn't do what they asked. Either way that falls on my shoulders as a consultant and I'm ok with it. 90% of the time that client goes off and has another developer provide the same service and will often take the quick way out by copying what I already done.

The battle in this article is mostly "he said, she said" along with some "use my influence to sway opinion" but this was bound to happen. Asus "rolled their own" with GPU Tweak and EVGA needed an overclocking solution. Given that the interface was always radically different from the competition it was only a matter of time before they brought development "in-house" to save time and effort.

I'm sure EVGA could have gone further to change the back end interface but I suspect there was some pressure to get things done quickly and most programmers aren't known for their design ability.

This is a happy repost from something I wrote on the Facebook Fan Page.
