MSI Afterburner is ultimate graphics card utility, co-developed by MSI and RivaTuner teams.

This utility enables all MSI graphics card users to boost performance and to monitor all kinds of critical information on the fly. This application is a complete software solution which supports almost all graphics cards.

Here are some key features of "MSI Afterburner":

Based on RivaTuner core:

· Afterburner contains the mix of the most popular and frequently used RivaTuner's technologies exposed in new simple and effective user interface Unified features for both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. You no longer need to change your favorite graphics card utility software when migrating from NVIDIA graphics card to AMD and vice versa. Afterburner provides you almost the same functionality for hardware manufactured by both leading GPU vendors and makes migration process really easy. Just keep overclocking and monitoring your GPU like you are used to do, no need to change your preferences and search for other utility after graphics card upgrade

User extendable architecture:

· You may express your creativity and design your own skins for MSI Afterburner, develop additional applications (e.g. sidebar gadgets for Windows Vista / Windows 7) interacting with MSI Afterburner or create language packs for your native language. Show the community what can you do and share results of your work with thousands of other users

Basic overclocking and fan control features:

· Include full multi-GPU support, independent shader clock adjustment (NVIDIA GeForce 8 or newer series cards), overclocking and fan control profiles with hotkey based activation abilities

Basic screen capture features support:

· BMP, PNG and JPG formats supported

Advanced fan control:

· Most of fan control tools allow you to use either fixed manual fan speed mode or default automatic fan speed mode, where the fan speed automation is performed either by dedicated hardware chip or by display driver depending on graphics card model. In addition to these traditional fan control modes Afterburner also provides user defined software automatic fan speed mode allowing you to define your own fan speed curve. New mode combines flexibility of RivaTuner's fan speed scheduling technology with new and really easy to use graphical interface for visual fan speed curve editing

Hardware health monitoring:

· Includes popular tray icon, Logitech LCD and On-Screen Display monitoring modes and history logging in native RivaTuner hardware monitoring log file format

Automatic profiles management system:

· Allows experienced users to define their own dynamic ownclocking rules on the systems with no hardware downclocking support or program different fan control modes for 2D and 3D applications

Core, auxiliary VDDCI/PEXVDD and memory voltage adjustment support:

· Gives more freedom to hardcore overclockers.

Requirements:

· Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 runtime libraries
· NVIDIA GeForce 6 or newer series graphics card with NVIDIA ForceWare 96.xx or higher drivers
· AMD RADEON HD 2000 or newer series graphics card with AMD Catalyst 9.3 or higher drivers

Change Log:

· Increased upper allowed power limit for power limit adjustment slider on some extreme editions of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600 series graphics cards
· ATIPDLXX.DLL is no longer included in MSI Afterburner distributive

MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 4.3.4. New version gives you the following improvements:
· Fixed framerate calculation for DirectX10/DirectX11 applications, which actively use presentation testing during rendering (e.g. Max Payne 3)
