    Does anyone have any experience using Nvidia System Tools? I got a Asus G73JW with a GTX460M and I want to know how people like it compared to something like MSI Afterburner.

    Thanks in advance!

    Useless imho.
    MSI and EVGA Precision are far better, custom profiles with one click, custom fan speeds, real time monitoring and OSD.
    Well, they are easier and more friendly.

    But NST does all the same, in a very incovenient way, because you need everytime to go to nvidia panel.

    ^^^^ This !

    I've tried NST and thought it was OK. I tried Nvidia's system tools and Evga Precision and thought Evga offered the better solution including control over your fans and graph charts for fan speed, GPU load and a few others I forget including skins.

    I've never tried MSI's Afterburner but from the reviews i've read on Newegg, it appears MSI did a nice job too with their overclocking tools.
