Is it as good as RivaTuner?

Is it as good as RivaTuner?

I'm currently using it and I duno what it may have installed. but in 2142 some studdering (best I can explain it) has stopped. I also see more detail in game. Still not sure if it's this that had anything to do with it. I will say that my room mates computer locked up on him every time he went in game since he installed this. Not sure what he did for settings and I am sure he fubard them up cause he's not that bright when it comes to working with stuff like that. He had an 8800GTX BTW.

As far as knowing if it is better than RivaTuner. I will have to do some tests between them.

I really have never found that I needed to use one of the tuner programs. So I can't just come out and say yes or no.

I dont know that I would switch anyways... I really like the On Screen Display of all my temps and fan speeds and memory usage that rivatuner provides .
