Trixx or stick with Afterburner for Tri-X cards?

[JediFragger]

Hey boys, just wondering if anyone with a little experience with these 2 programs can shed some light on this.

Had the chance to upgrade my reference 290s to a pair of 290 Tri-X OC cards, so I took the opportunity now that Summer is coming (be rude not to for an extra few quid ). They should be arriving today

Just wondering, is Trixx any good or should I stick with AB??

cheers

Only difference is Trixxx allows an extra +100mv and is very limited in features compared to afterburner. For extreme clocking use trixxx, for everything else (overlay,recording,screenshots,light clocking) use afterburner.

I have got EVGA Precision installed. The only advantage of Precision above MSI AB is that it easily allows to switch from GPU1 to GPU2, but because I always clock each GPU the same, it doesn't matter

Plus MSI AB has a nicer version of Rivatuner in that allows me to capture in game movies. Maybe not such an issue now when I have Shadowplay

Sapphire Trixx if you need to push the voltage for the odd benchmark run. AB for everything else. It's just more polished.

Thanks lads. I don't intend to do anything more than light overclocking so will stick with AB

Cheers

Use to use trixx for more voltage but have changed back to MSI AB since finding that voltage adjustment thread that lets you set pretty much any voltage. Have used it to whack +250mv into my 290x, only downside is the core still only goes to 1300 and memory to 1625 max.

I've been using Trixx since Afterburner was crashing my MSI (!?) 7850. It doesn't crash if I disable the OC capability of Afterburner so I can still use the video capture.

Installed cards and looks like AB will do everything I need
