Software

Some cards don’t come with any software at all, leaving you to only use the AMD software if you want to tune your card at all. Asus on the other hand does offer their GPU Tweak on all of their cards and in the case of a card like the Matrix with it being a ROG card you get a ROG themed skin as well. GPU Tweak has three sections to it, starting from the left you can see its graphing page that will graph out clock speeds, usage, fan speed, and temperatures. This is great because a lot of times when you are in game you won’t see the actual temperatures that you are hitting because they drop when you close or tab out. This gives you a chance to look back at your peak temperatures. In the middle you have the main page where you can adjust GPU and memory clock speeds. With the Matrix you also get GPU load line and PWM frequency control, something you don’t get on most other cards at all. This will no doubt help with overclocking the Matrix along with its voltage adjustment buttons right on the card as well. Lastly you also get a ROG themed copy of GPU-Z to get all of the details of the card you are running.
