MSI Dragon Center v MSI After Burner - what’s the difference?

Knight77

What are the main differences between these two?

 

i currently have 2x water cooled RTX Ti’s and use Afterburner plus Mystic Light to control the RGBs,

 

What does Dragon Center offer? - is it worth downloading?

No real reason to use Dragon Center truthfully. It enables the Fast cooldown feature on MSI cards and one click overclocking of your CPU and maybe a few other things on the board that honestly doesnt matter. Dont bother installing it.

Dragon Center is MSI's hardware control suite. It allows you to control various aspects of any MSI hardware.

 

Afterburner is a GPU overclocking and hardware monitoring tool. It specifically overclocks graphics cards but also allows you to monitor various aspects of your computer either in app or using it's OSD feature.

So better to use Afterburner and Mystic Light 3?

 

Afterburner to OC the 2 RTX Ti’s,

 

ML3 to control the RGB on the cards and on the NVLink Bridge?
