MSI Afterburner 2.3.0 (2012-11-19) ( big update )

Yes, you can select your output resolution.

Annoyingly this version does not support 7970 Gh Ed as my voltage slider is locked out!

Not that I'm too bothered as I run them at stock 99% of the time.

Just to clarify:
usually when selecting output resolution, programs squashes the entire area into the chosen output. So, if I'm playing at 6000x1200, and choose 1920x1080, it would squash that entire 6000x1200 image down into the smaller size, possibly adding black bars to avoid mucking up the aspect ratio.

DXtory doesnt do that: if I choose a 1920x1080 window, it discards everything outside that window when recording, and keeps that full size.

I like to play in eyefinity, but make normal aspect ratio videos for sharing - since most people dont have eyefinity.

Borderlands 2 seems smoother on my 580.

2560x1600 full physics.

I just went to download this at MSI site, and found they are still hosting 2.2.5. Is 2.3 a beta? Why is it available only at guru3d?

Voltage locked on my 7970 ghz edition, back to 2.2.3.

The database defines any 7970 GHz Edition card as MSI custom design 7970 Lightning Boost Edition card, which means that Afterburner will search for Lightning specific voltage controller on any reference design 7970 GHz Edition card. As a result, voltage control will be available on true 7970 Lightning Boost Edition cards only.
I'm not sure if it is a typo or not. These changes make sense only if MSI ships 7970 Lightning Boost Edition cards with reference 7970 GHz Edition BIOS, but in this case voltage control for reference 7970 GHz Edition won't work in Afterburner at all.
I'll ask MSI to clarify those changes inside the database.
Small workaround: happily starting from this version the databases for reference design cards and custom desigh cards are stored in different files. So it is enough to delete MSIAfterburner.oem file to get rid of all custom MSI cards support including 7970 Lightning Boost Edition.

Yep, AB said my card was an MSI, hope they can sort this.
