MSI Afterburner 4.2.0 Updated

MSI Afterburner 4.2.0 Updated

Yesterday we released MSI Afterburner 4.2.0, unfortunately for GeForce GTX 980 Ti Lightning owners there has been a mixup in the database with a device_ID. This has been fixed. Please re-download the software after which you will notice the card is recognized properly. If you want extended voltage ranges with your Lightning to something extreme please go to preferences -> general and select 'extended MSI' at the unlock voltage box. Also we recompiled the binaries with slight changes in the IR3595A detection implementation, this allows users to unlock support the 980 Ti cards from other vendors (EVGA, KFA2 and GALAX) through the 3rd party database mode.

You can download the updated build here.

I had to give up on the idea of AB allowing voltage control on my MSI R9 380 4GB...the newer version AB is the same...everything is set properly to turn it on. But get this...Strixx 5.2.1 has no problem with regulating voltage at all. I have a monitoring proggy that I run when I run Strixx so I know it is actually doing what it says it's doing. In AB the voltage slider is simply locked...the fact that it works immediately in Strixx with no tinkering on my part indicates that my card is not bios-locked or hard-wired against permitting voltage manipulation. My guess would be that MSI is doing that, somehow, inside the software, for obvious reasons--who wants to do RMAs on voltage-abused cards? Still, I suppose it's the idea--the principle of the thing...So I guess it's Strixx from here on out.

Makes little sense really. I just installed the MSI 380 (I only have the 2GB model though). Voltages are working right out of the box after installation.

Unlock voltage is enabled in the preferences ? And also are you running the stock BIOS ? If so, let me know the device ID (click the 'i' button and copy/paste the part where it says VEN_1002).

See screenshot of the MSI 380 2GB here of the voltage enabled + example Info:

Thanks for responding HH! I am very appreciative.

I agree it's nuts...don't understand it. Bios is stock. I like and prefer AB--that's the one I've used for a long time and would like to continue to use. I remember your review of the 2GB card and in fact asked you how you were getting a voltage unlock--and if maybe the 4.2 betas (at the time of the review) were freeing it up for you. You were gracious enough to give me the link to the 4.2 betas then, and told me that you weren't aware of any new ATi code in them--and I tried them and you were correct. Didn't make any difference for me. So naturally, I figured my MSI card was just voltage-locked and it was something I'd just have to grin and bear--(like that would be a real trial or something... ;) It would not be.) Then today I decided to give Trixx a spin--and boom--worked immediately.

OK, here's my device ID #:

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6939&SUBSYS_20151462&REV_F1\4&DE2C59F&0&0010

Driver Version 15.300.1025.1001

I had some .png screen shots I was going to attach from Afterburner & GPU-Z, but I can't figure out how to do that here...says I can't for some reason. Anyway, I'll be more than happy to email them to you, if you believe they'd help!

Thanks much for your interest & response, HH...I like these little mysteries, actually--especially clearing them up... ;) Thanks again. I've clean installed AB twice and double-checked the settings--both in the GUI and in the AB settings file...voltage control is set to 1. I even fully rebooted to make sure that the setting was being picked up--it should have been.

Also, when the AB voltage control is set for +100, as caught in your screen shot, is that 100mV--or a percentage? edit: never mind--has to be +100mV, of course... ;) (Long day.) Thanks very much...I'll look for your suggestions! (I'm trying to hit your overclock targets with the 2GB card.)

Edit: I forgot to mention that although I am using the Crimson drivers, I am running them through the 15.11.1b CatalystCC--which is far more functional than the Crimson interface. (Why AMD decided to number the Crimson package with the exact number of the previous CCC beta, I have no idea--but I don't understand much about why they did practically anything they did with Crimson.) Afterburner picks them up as the standard Crimsons--as it should.

LN2 Mode

Did you include VendorID for Lightning using LN2 BIOS as well?
The ID is different compared to Standard BIOS.

I´ve not yet downloaded updated AB 4.2.0. Therefore I´ve modified oem2-file with the matching ID to use expanded options of AB.

PS: Any update regarding offset-mode?

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6939&SUBSYS_20151462&REV_F1\4&DE2C59F&0&0010

Driver Version 15.300.1025.1001

As you can see DEV_6939 that's Tonga ... and the ID's match mine. Long story short we have the same hardware other then you have 2GB graphics memory more, AB is doing nothing other then applying what is possible with the driver. The card is supported, period. So the only thing left is a software setting or driver conflict somehow.

Would you happen to be in a household with another PC ? I think you'll see that once you inserted it into another PC and install AB, you'll get voltage control right from the start.
