Is MSI Afterburner WORTH USING?

[AssassinPride]

Well i dont change ANY SETTING on it (i dont overclock my gpu) is that realy worth using? (because i CANT open my STEAM OVERLAY when MSI Afterburner is on) i only use MSI Afterburner to see my fps/temperature and the auto-fan speed ....
Dunno why its work with other game like Dota but not the new CoD...

You don't need to set auto fanspeed cause that's just the stock settings.

Fraps for FPS monitoring
Open HWMonitor for temp monitoring (though you can't let it do an overlay in your game but if you're not overclocking the temps should be fine anyway. If they're not, you've got bigger problems to worry about )

And no, no point in using Afterburner if you run everything at stock.

There is a point in using AB. Create a custom fan profile to keep things quiet and lower the stock volts on the card to a stable level. It'll help reduce temps by quiet a bit. I got my card to lose 5C just by lowering it by 40ish mV.

Yeah but I meant everything at stock, including voltages and fanspeeds

I know. I'm just saying its still usefull even if you want clocks stock. Can lower volts/temps and make it a little more quiet.
