NZXT cam vs MSI afterburner

[Captainblackops]

Hello guys,
Which is reliable and better software between NZXT cam and MSI afterburner to monitor CPU,GPU temperatures ,FPS and usage ? Also is there any difference between them ?

Don't really use MSI Afterburner, but I do have NXZT Cam, and it's clear and concise. I use GeForce experience to monitor my FPS, but I have CAM on another screen and it has the CPU, GPU, RAM, and temps all in real-time. You could also use HWMonitor+ as well, but it's more text-based. Again, I haven't used MSI, but the CAM software is really amazing and so simple.

Hm....

CAM has a good interface and also stores the history of the games you've played as it were. It is, I have found, to be fairly heavy on the CPU.

Afterburner has a lot of interface options and lighter on resources for me.

I tend to use Afterburner for the onscreen monitoring during games rather than CAM now.
