At time of writing - GPUTweak V2.7.1.8 vs Afterburner 4.10
Please mention some pros and cons of each before you say why you think one is better then the other. Not oh, the ASUS one has prettier colours so I vote for that...
Personally I have no idea and want to find out which is better if you own a ASUS VGA card.
Let the discussion begin.
I agree, one shouldn't necessarily recommend which software is "better" simply because they feel that it's the prettier/est of the gpu tweaking software alternatives out there, but that
could be the primary determining factor to
that particular person. I, for instance, most definitely wouldn't prefer
X software to
Y software, basing my preference primarily on "prettiness" and appearance alone. Features, flexibility, customization, user-friendliness, and robustness(in no particular order), are probably my main determining factors when choosing nearly
ANY software to use on my own personal computers, whether it's a gpu tweaking utility, anti-virus suite, text editor(I prefer Notepad++.), etc. Yes, using software that's visually appealing to the eye is definitely a PLUS, but it's not an absolute mandatory requirement in my opinion. It sure is nice to be able to have the best of both worlds though!
That said, I can't exactly follow up with my personal recommendation because I haven't gotten a chance to use the GPUTweak software yet on my pc. I've just recently switched from the MSI R7 250 2GB DDR3 to the ASUS R9 270X DC2T 2GB DDR5 and I've been running the Afterburner software for quite some time on my old MSI card, which proved to be quite an invaluable tool to have. I actually just installed my new GPU a day or two ago and haven't had the time to "tweak" it to my liking, but I'm about to get that taken care of today. I'm gonna follow this up with downloading the newest GPUTweak software and give it a try though!
