MSI Afterburner v1.5.0

MSIAfterburnerSetup150.zip

MSI Afterburner 는 세계적으로 유명한 VGA 오버클럭 & 튜닝 유틸리티인 “Riva Turner” 와 공식 라이센스 계약을 체결하고 함께 개발한 VGA 튜닝 유틸리티입니다.

MSI Afterburner 유틸리티를 통해 소비자는 GPU 클럭 / Shader 클럭 / 메모리 클럭 / 팬 스피드 등을 자유롭게 조절할 수 있으며, 그래픽카드의 현재 동작 환경에 대한 자세한 정보를 확인할 수 있는 모니터링 기능 역시 제공한다. 특히 MSI Afterburner 유틸리티는 여타 일반적인 VGA 오버클럭 유틸리티와는 달리 GPU에 공급되는 전압까지 조절할 수 있는 특별 기능을 제공합니다.

MSI Afterburner v1.5.0 (2010-02-10) 

Added videomemory usage monitoring for NVIDIA graphics cards under Forceware 185.xx and newer drivers

Added GPU usage monitoring for NVIDIA GT2xx and newer graphics cards under Forceware 185.xx and newer drivers

Added VGA BIOS version detection for AMD graphics cards

Added optional ability to display hint messages in hardware monitoring window area. The messages notify the user about runtime profile management activity(such as profile creation, removal or applying) and other application events

Minor appearance tweaks in default skins

Added compact versions of default skins (default green, red and blue editions)

Now advanced MSI Afterburner properties also support floating tooltip based context help system similar to the main application window

Now MSI Afterburner supports RivaTuner's user extendable localization system. Currently localization system includes default English, Russian, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Dutch language packs and affects context help system and non-skinned advanced properties interface. Similar to RivaTuner you can also create your own language packs for your native language and share your work with MSI Afterburner users community!

Improved skin format. Now skinned fonts support characters remapping feature.All skins supplied with MSI Afterburner are using this feature, third party skin designers may decompile and peek into these skins to see an example of new feature usage

Now hardware monitoring window font size can be redefined via the skin, third party skin designers may decompile and peek into compact versions of default skins to see an example of new feature usage

Skin format reference documentation has been updated to v1.1 to reflect the format improvements mentioned above

Added shared memory interface allowing any third party applications to access MSI Afterburner hardware monitoring statistics. The interface is intended for future MSI Afterburner Vista / Windows 7 sidebar gadgets, however, the shared memory layout is publicly open so third party developers can use it to access MSI Afterburner hardware monitoring statistics from their own applications. 

The SDK included in MSI Afterburner distributive contains open source sample demonstrating the access to shared memory from a third party application

Added command line switches for forcing MSI Afterburner to be minimized to the system tray area on startup or during runtime and for opening desired advanced MSI Afterburner properties tab. The switches are intended for interraction with future MSI Afterburner Vista / Windows 7 sidebar gadgets. Sample code included in the SDK also shows you how to detect, start and minimize installed MSI Afterburner, how to open desired tab in advanced properties and how to use MSI Afterburner profiles from third party applications

Reduced runtime skin engine memory footprint due to dynamic skin storage unloading

Startup settings are now displayed next to the button

Added button for locking profiles modification

Now voltage control is also locked by default in safety options in advanced MSI Afterburner properties

Added AccessibilityCheckingPeriod configuration file switch for improving the compatibility with AMD ULPS power saving technology on Crossfire systems. The switch allows low-level monitoring module to use AMD driver API to check GPU accessibility and detect and display GPU sleep state properly. Please take a note that AMD API implementation is ineffective and hardly suits to realtime monitoring due to high CPU stress resulting in periodic stuttering in games. 

That is why the compatibility switch is disabled by default, enable it only if you absolutely need to see slave GPU sleep state on the graphs and accept side effects like performance drop and stuttering resulting from ineffective AMD API implementation

Added NVIDIA GT240M PCI DeviceID range to the core to provide more efficient hardware monitoring via low-level core on mobile NVIDIA GT240 based systems (bonus feature, official mobile systems support is still not declared)

Graph limits are now adjustable in the graph properties in tab

Added AMD RV810 graphics processors family supports

Added voltage control for custom design MSI R5670 1GB series graphics cards with uP6262 voltage regulators

Added voltage control for custom design MSI R5870 Lightning series graphics cards with uP6266 voltage regulators

Added voltage control for custom design MSI R5870 Twin Frozr II series graphics cards with uP6266 voltage regulators

Added voltage control for custom design MSI R5850 Twin Frozr II series graphics cards with uP6266 voltage regulators

Added integration with external MSI Kombustor stability testing application

Added workaround for overclocking bug of ForceWare 196.21. Please take a note that the workaround is applied only to 196.00 - 196.21 driver versions range in order to ensure compatibility with future fixed NVIDIA drivers.

Now hardware database includes marketing names of MSI graphics cards so MSI Afterburner displays marketing names instead of generic graphics card model names when possible
