So I got MSI AB, since everyone says it has a nice fan profile. I got to using it and I really like it over the Zotac Firestorm program that came with my GPU. I also like the longer monitoring time it has over Firestorm.
But last night while doing some FPS benchmarking on my games, running MSI AB, Firestorm, Fraps, and games at the same time, most ran fine, but Fallout 4 started crashing shortly after getting into the game and the game stuttering a bit but solid at 60fps. At first I though it was GeForce Experience optimization since I experienced something similar in WoW a few days ago, which I resolved by deleting my Interface and WTF folders and letting the game recreate them.
So similarly I tried to delete and reinstall FO4, which worked until I tried to run it with AB again.
Long story short I isolated it to Afterburner and noticed that I get stuttering while running AB, crashes, and my Steam overlay does not come up while AB is running. I think most other games are okay at the moment.
I'm okay if I can't use the program itself while running games to monitor but I really want to keep the fan profile going as it is doing a marvelous job of keeping my GPU under 60C and it seems I can't do that with the program closed (it only overrides Firestorm while it is open).
So how can I fix this to use MSI AB, and various games at the same time? Especially since it is disabling my Steam Overlay, and for whatever reason that seems to be part of the problem.
