I doubt you will ruin the card, worst that is likely to happen is a blue screen or 2.

I would only use one piece of software for setting up the card, as this is likely to result in the least issues.Īlthough if you are just setting up a fan curve, in evga, then it might be fine, jsut try it. I would say, have them both installed, overclock with evga precision, and use afterburner for monitoring. Would be rather interested to know if this works, as I just ordered an EVGA card. Therefore MSI can make some decisions about the utility, regarding things they want it to do and things they don't want it. The difference is that while RivaTuner was a utility created as a hobby AFAIK, AfterBurner is a project founded by MSI. It is based on RivaTuner, done by the same developer. In the end, I uninstalled the gigabyte one, as I was afraid of breaking something, and afterburner had more functionality. AfterBurner is something like the new RivaTuner. I ran them together for a bit, they didn't sync up. I was in somewhat the same position a while ago with gigabyte extreme engine vs afterburner. You can access this by pressin stan the old hardware man 2021.
#Evga precision vs msi afterburner install
No other GPU related software is running. Install MSI afterburner or EVGA precision, enough is enough. In case it's important, I'm running Windows 10 64-bit and I'm also running Nvidia Inspector's Multi Display Power Saving software in the background, which also may or may not be relevant. My solution to this is to use MSI Afterburner alongside EVGA Precision X, but is it safe? Would resetting everything to default on Precision X, then re-dialing in the OC values in Afterburner work? I've also learnt that the G(PU) P(ower) M(emory) lights will also not work with MSI afterburner, but I couldn't care less about these. What annoys me is how the Precision X operates, the UI (personally) is horrible compared to MSI Afterburner, things are buried so deep inside the settings menu and if you have HW Monitoring opened, playing games would lead to severe keyboard lag and delay when actuating keys, so I want back in on MSI's Afterburner software.īut I have heard if you use Afterburner instead of Precision X, you can only control the GPU fan, and not the second fan, so the second fan won't even spin.
#Evga precision vs msi afterburner upgrade
Recently upgrade to a GTX 1080Ti SC2 by EVGA, and from research I have learned that in order to utlisie the asynchronous fan control technology I had to use their EVGA Precision X OC software, which is fair enough.
