Actually its FRAPS Vs. Afterburner Predator
SPPV- From my research there are alot of Non MSI cards that will work with afterburner, depends on the draw, I installed it and seems to work fine with my EVGA GTX 560 card. _________________________________________________________

Tested Fraps and Afterburner Video and Screen shot visual quality, Could not see even the slightest difference between the two.
Im gonna have to check out Afterburner. Im running a Gigabyte setup, but no loss in trying.

I am running a Gigabyte Mobo an AMD/ATI Graphics card, It is deffidently worth a look, it also graphs and keeps track of all your other crap like GPU + CPU temps, usage levels, Memory usage etc.
Also just read the following quote on Toms Hardware forum...
" MSI Afterburner works on any brand of Graphics Card (PNY, EVGA, MSI, etc). IF you have a MSI graphics card then you can adjust the Voltages of your GPU with Afterburner; if you don't then you just gotta work with what you can. (note: This feature also works on a lot of Non-MSI cards)
I, myself use Afterburner and it's great! Very easy, very user-friendly. You can easily adjust the speeds in real-time, and I've never had a problem. You can also allow it to apply overclocks as start-up automatically, which is a nice feature. The way you can adjust the fan speed based on the temperature is a great feature too."
So looks like if you have a graphics card at least made in the last few years then it may work for you.

Nice, I know I could sure use a lot more storage.

You gotta OC no point going BE without jacking that sucker You should be able to hit similar results as the 955(stock 3.4Ghz). 3.7Ghz is low Ive seen CPU-Z and EasyTune verified 4.0 and 4.1Ghz. Yours is even newer so Im sure you could even push it a little further. Tweaking the RAM (if you can) will make a huge difference in stability Ive found with OC on AMD CPU.
But either way youre certainly more than capable of running BF3

I got it OC'ed at a stable 3.8 Ghz, ramped up my ram to the stock frequency of 1866, and the cpu temp still sits at 35 C, I know its very capable of hitting 4.7 Ghz with water cooling lol _________________________________________________________

Ok got it clocked to 4.2 Ghz Idle temp still around 34 to 35 C, oc'd the ram as well got the base score for the windows index to hit 7.7 out of 7.9, If only I had the FX CPU I could push well into 5 Ghz range for shits and giggles lol _________________________________________________________
