    Can I use msi Gaming App OC settings in Afterburner then uninstall Gaming App?

    They mean that the speeds listed on the box are only available by running the GAMING APP, or if you OC. As mentioned, choose one, don't run both. Once you've installed both..... AI AI AI!!!

    Thanks for your reply ED_1.

    My queries originated perhaps from inaccurate posts on other forums. They stated that AB only works with the gaming App installed which seems strange. They also state that the clocks are then locked and the GPU does not ramp up and down with the demand, Using either the Gaming App or AB. This again seems strange and in contrary to what I've seen when using both . I'm sure the Gaming App only applies the the higher than stock clock values when the game or program requires it.

    In truth I'd rather just set the OC in the gaming App and forget about it. But I can't becuase the OC does not stick.
