RTX 4070 DUAL, want to set my own fan profile and don't want to use MSI afterburner. Is GPU tweak OK to use or is it crappy and liable to mess things up with my GPU?
 
Can't really mess things up. Nvidia has a bunch of safeties. You can't surpass the voltage limit, TDP or overheat. Turn off the fans and the GPU will just downclock.
 
Personnally I wouldn't prefer softwares from asus, their softwares have always been full of bugs
 
I use GPU Tweak for my ASUS graphics cards to set simple fan curves and to enable basic overclocking (settings determined by manufacturer's engineering team).

Modern consumer GPU design implementation has most of the overclocking range built into the boost clock anyhow. I don't bother with detailed performance tuning or using third-party utilities like MSI Afterburner.

While I think Armoury Crate is a steaming pile of dung, my experience with GPU Tweak has been okay mostly because it's a "set it and forget it" sort of thing.

msi afterburner from guru3d.com is the gold standard for overclocking nvidia cards imo. and AMD cards can be OC'd with radeon's own built in to the driver software. it works great. no need for 3rd party on AMD Radeon overclocking.
