I just got my new 260 216 installed and wondered if the EVGA precision program would work with the BFG card? I didn't want to mess anything up if it wouldn't. I would like to monitor card temps and maybe fan speed. I had been using the precision program since it came out.

Will EVGA Precision work with a BFG card?

Yes, EVGA's precision utility will work with any Nvidia card from any of the board partners. Doesn't matter what 'brand' it is....
Remember that if you upgrade to the 180.xx drivers you'll need to update Precision to the latest version to regain fan control.

I installed the 178.24 drivers today. I'm not too sure about installing beta drivers on a new card. I wanted to make sure the card ran good first.
Is this why PhysX is reporting no Aegia processor installed? Great, will install the new version of Precision now.

No, PhysX won't report an Agea PhysX processor installed unless you have an Agea PhysX based add-in PCI card. By default it will run in GPU PhysX mode assuming you have a supported card (8 series or higher).
I don't think it's better but it is definitely a hell of a lot more customizable. Precision is basically a stripped down version of Rivatuner ( same person programmed both) with the essential bits left in. I prefer it because it is so much more simple to make profiles etc.

I prefer evga precision because rivatuner refuses to release one that works on vista 64.
+1 for precision being easier than breathing

Precision is very simple. it employs alot of the things that rivatuner does with less clicking and everything. Its just alot more simple and easy to use. Also, if you have the newest drivers you will need to download the newest version of precision in order to regain fan speed controls.

isnt rivatuner better? Or EVGA Precision good enough? Just wondering because I am planning to oc the bfg tech gtx 260 once it arrives.
You can always try nTune if you couldn't use either. But as suggested, using Precision is like stealing candy from a baby.
