MSI Afterburner 4.0.0 Official Download - Guru3D and MSI have been working hard on AfterBurner, today we release an updated this revision of Afterburner, this application successfully secured the leading position on graphics card utilities.

MSI Afterburner is ultimate graphics card utility, co-developed by MSI and RivaTuner teams. The Beta releases have a expiration limit, the Stable and Final releases do not. 

System requirements:

  • Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (both x86 and x64 versions) with full administrative rights
  • NVIDIA GeForce 6 or newer series graphics card with NVIDIA ForceWare 96.xx or higher drivers 1
  • AMD RADEON HD 2000 or newer series graphics card with AMD Catalyst 9.3 or higher drivers 2
  • Any graphics card can be used to start application in limited functionality mode

Changes list includes:

  • Added MSI R9 280 series voltage control support
  • Added AMD Tonga graphics processors family support
  • Added core voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON R9 285X series graphics cards with NCP81022 voltage regulators
  • Added official overclocking limits extension support for AMD Tonga graphics processors. Please take a note that unofficial overclocking mode is currently not supported for AMD Tonga graphics processors family. 
  • Various parts of hardware monitoring module have been pumped up to improve hardware monitoring usability and flexibility:
    • Added layered monitoring graphs rendering mode. Now you may right click source graph in monitoring window, select “Attach” in the context menu then point to destination graph to attach source graph to it and create a group of layered graphs. This feature allows you to render as many layered graphs on the same grid as you wish. The colors of graphs in layered rendering mode can be customized independently of each other so you can easily identify them g3d.
    • Added multi-column monitoring graphs rendering mode. Now you can adjust the number of graph columns in “Active monitoring graphs” section in “Monitoring” tab
    • Added “Override graph name” option to “Monitoring” tab. Now you can rename the graphs displayed in hardware monitoring window 
    • Monitoring history buffer size is no longer defined by monitoring window width. Now pre-history buffer size is fixed and stores the last 3600 samples (1 hour for 1000ms polling period) for each graph
    • Improved tray icon monitoring module:
    • Now you can select either text mode or barchart indicator mode for each value displayed in tray icon. Barchart indicator mode can be extremely useful for visualizing data like GPU / CPU usage
    • Improved Logitech keyboard LCD monitoring module:
    • Ported to new Logitech API to provide support for newer Logitech LCD displays
    • Added support for color LCD display of Logitech G19/G19s keyboards
    • Added graph mode support for color LCD display of Logitech G19/G19s keyboards. Now in addition to previously available text mode you can optionally select graph mode and see exact copy of MSI Afterburner’s monitoring graphs displayed directly inside the keyboard LCD. You can also press “Menu” soft button on your Logitech G19/G19S keyboard to toggle between text and graph modes dynamically in realtime
    • Added acceleration support to LCD scrolling implementation 
    • Added larger 8x12, 10x12, 12x12 and 12x16 fonts support for text mode
  • Added “Regional settings” section to “User Interface” tab:
    • Temperature format settings allow you to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit format for monitored temperatures. Please take a note that this setting affects temperature readouts only. Hardware related temperature adjustments (e.g. fan speed to temperature mapping curve for all cards or temperature target adjustment for NVIDIA Kepler series) are always being displayed and adjusted in Celsius for maximum unification, safety and compatibility
    • 12 hours / 24 hours time format settings allow you to configure time format for On-Screen Display and hardware monitoring window
  • Added “Enable low-level IO driver” option to the “Compatibility properties” section in “General” tab
  • Added SLI sync performance limit graph for release 340 and newer NVIDIA drivers
  • Display device enumeration implementation has been modified slightly to allow monitoring Intel iGPUs when low-level IO driver is not enabled
  • Improved handshaking algorithm reduces the risk of seeing multiple running instances of child processes (e.g. RTSS)
  • Optimized hardware polling for NVIDIA graphics cards
  • Optimized hardware polling for multi-GPU systems
  • Added SVI2 voltage control support via AMD ADL SDK to provide compatibility with future graphics cards
  • Added automatic prerecording settings to “Videocapture” tab. When you enable automatic mode prerecording session is being started automatically on each 3D application startup. Please take a note that in this case you can still use video prerecord hotkey to stop then manually restart prerecording session if necessary
  • Drastically improved skin engine:
    • Improved skin compiler gives more detailed error messages when skin compilation fail due to error in some source image file
    • Source image file format is no longer limited to 24-bit BMP files only. Now skin compiler supports all possible bit depths for BMP format and fully supports PNG format with alpha channel
    • Added built-in bitmap effect for extracting alpha-channel from PNG image files
    • Skin format has been upgraded to v1.3. New format supports alpha channel based transparency for skinned window, allowing skin designers to define semi-transparent skin areas, apply antialiasing to the skin window edges and so on
    • Added new skinned window composition modes support and “Skin composition mode” settings to “User interface tab”. New settings allows you to use one of the following modes:
    • Traditional mode – suits best for backward compatibility with existing skins and performance testing
    • Layered mode with colorkey - provides much faster rendering of skins with non-rectangular window shape and additionally allows you to adjust transparency of skinned window
    • Layered mode with alpha – provides per-pixel alpha channel support and advanced visual effects for compatible skins and also allows you to adjust transparency of skinned window
    • Skin format reference guide has been updated to v1.7 to document these changes
    • Improved implementation of rollback to default skin
    • Full skins cross-compatibility with other overclocking applications based on RivaTuner engine. Special GUI transformation layer allows you to use the skins designed for third party RivaTuner based overclocking applications and makes the process of migration to MSI Afterburner from such overclocking tools much more comfortable for you. You can keep the look and feel of your preferred overclocking application and at the same time enjoy extended MSI Afterburner’s features including full range of supported graphics cards, industry leading powerful and robust monitoring module, flexible video recording features and many more
  • RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v6.2.0

    I would not go higher than 1.250 on the core.

    I got 1675 out of the VRAM at stock voltage, though it makes very little difference on performance.

    Why would you not exceed 1.250 on the core? I'm curious because I built a machine for my brother recently with an R9 280X. It had a horrible ASIC of 41% so it requires 1.256v on the core to run 1100 core clock without driver crashes. The heat is under control through, as it only reaches 74C at 1.256v. Thanks.

    If I were EVGA Precision project manager, I'd take at least $1K from several thousands $$$ which I stolen from EVGA Precision 4.2.1 licensing budget during 2014 and share it with you.

    This one is final and there is some undocumented support for Maxwell inside We just cannot leak the names of new cards in the release notes.

    No way, sorry. But I plan to make LCD colors customizable for text mode in future versions.

    Standalone RTSS 6.2.0 distributive is also available for download:

    http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/...-download.html

    This build removes 64-bit OSD MSI Afterburner exclusivity lock, so those who want to get this functionality with EVGA Precision X 4.2.1 can grab new RTSS now. Alternately, you can use any of your favorite EPX 4.2.1 skins with new Afterburner.

    Great job - big thank you, Unwinder, for continuing your development of RivaTuner/MSI AB. It shows true passion and dedication, which produces great results like MSI AB, although in my opinion, most people take it for granted as if MSI AB or EVGA Precision simply "came with the card".

    I do have a problem with MSI AB though. My GTX 780 Ti does not respond to voltage adjustments made in MSI AB. It allows me to set it +100, but that has absolutely no effect on the actual voltage - I verified in GPU-Z and nVidia Inspector. This is why I always have to fall back onto EVGA Precision X 4.2.1, but after their blatant disregard of whichever contract you had with them, I try very hard to avoid EVGA. I really wish I could use MSI AB, but unless the GPU voltage can be adjusts to 1.21v and below, I am forced to use Precision X for my high overclock profile.

    It was repeated many times that it is a result of NVIDIA voltage control restrictions on Fermi / Kepler series GPUs and MSI's safety control. Full voltage control on Fermi / Keplers in MSI AB is unlocked only for custom design MSI cards like Lightnings, reference design cards and non-MSI cards are limited to NVIDIA's recommended range. It won't change, it was discussed widely and I have absolutely nothing to add to it. If you want to change it - talk to NV and MSI directly, I cannot help with that.

    That's strange, all 780TIs can be increased to 1.21v, regardless of manufacturer or model.

    I wonder if you are stressing the card/overclocking enough to actually make the card use 1.21v?

    The card wont use 1.21v unless it has to so you'll need to OC it to 1175mhz+ and also load the GPU with a benchmark or demanding game.

    Or maybe there is an issue with AB on your card?

    Full color G19 LCD support requires the latest version of Logitech Gaming Software. What is your version of LGS?
