Version 1.8.0 of EVGA Precision brings with it a number of important changes compared to its older version, including performance and stability fixes related to the application, conflict-resolution for game anti-cheat systems that see Precision's OSD as a positive (a false-positive actually), and a new set of UI skins.

New version adds pre-created On-Screen Display rendering profile for "The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena" and introduces floating injection address hooking technology aimed to reduce the risk of On-Screen Display detection by third party applications (e.g. anti-cheat systems).
- New skin format v1.2 gives new possibilities to skin developers and reduces skin file size and runtime skin engine memory footprint.
- Reduced CPU usage for simultaneous GPU and PCB temperature readings, both sensors are being read in single pass now.

- Includes new "Sleek Skins" by Jonttu.
