MSI Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 15 Download - Guru3D and MSI have been working hard on AfterBurner,
today we release an updated this Beta revision of Afterburner, this application successfully secured the leading position on graphics card utilities.

Today we release an updated Beta revision of Afterburner, this application successfully secured the leading position on graphics card utilities.
We're happy to see MSI Afterburner is leading the overclock applications. MSI Afterburner is ready,
this version also supports the control of NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan, 760, 770 and 780. If you get the card, you may want to try it.

Change note:

Added CPU temperature monitoring (Intel Nehalem and newer Intel CPUs only), CPU usage,
RAM usage and pagefile usage graphs to hardware monitoring module
On-Screen Display text length limit has been extended from 256 bytes to 4 kilobytes
Framerate slider limit in “Videocapture” tab has been extended from 100 FPS to 120 FPS
Now flashing camera icon is being displayed in the top left corner of monitoring window when video is being captured
Improved DirectInput hotkey handler minimizes the risk of losing hotkey functionality until application restart under certain conditions
Added Turkish localization


RivaTuner Statistics Server 5.3.2:

Improved encoding plugins architecture:
Now the plugins can be optionally loaded either in host 3D application address space or in dedicated encoder server application address space. Dedicated encoder server usage reduces the peak encoding performance a bit, however it may give you the following advantages in conjunction with Intel QuickSync H.264 encoder plugin:
Minimization of different Direct3D synchronization/multithreading related issues. Host application 3D engine NVIDIA/AMD Direct3D device and encoder Intel Direct3D device are now isolated from each other and run in different address spaces and have much less chances to affect each other. Multithreaded optimizations no longer being forcibly disabled when capturing videos in Direct3D9 applications via Intel QuickSync H.264 plugin working in Direct3D9 mode with dedicated encoder server
Now it is possible to use hardware accelerated Intel QuickSync H.264 encoder plugin to capture video from the games using modified Direct3D runtime libraries
Now it is possible to use software emulation mode for Intel QuickSync H.264 encoder without installing Intel Media SDK. Intel software emulation libraries are distributed with encoder server
Now the plugins can optionally provide extended error reporting info
Fixed previously available compatibility mode with modified Direct3D runtime libraries broken version due to introducing alternate experimental compatibility mode with modified Direct3D libraries in the previous version
Fixed incorrect compression ratio value displayed in OSD when capturing video in high resolutions (4 MB and higher framebuffer size)
Added high performance desktop video capture for Windows 8 and newer OS via DXGI 1.2 desktop duplication API
Audio track description is no longer being written to MKV file if audio track is empty, e.g. during silent desktop recording session
Various capture performance related tweaks:
Tuned queued screen capture implementation
Tuned pipeline flushing implementation
Tuned threshold for dynamic pipeline flushing control, the threshold is now set to 75 FPS instead of 120 FPS before
Improved frames timestamping accuracy
On-Screen Display text length limit has been extended from 256 bytes to 4 kilobytes per application slot. Third party developers using RTSS OSD support in their applications should refer to updated sample code in SDK
Added On-Screen Display profile for Rayman Legends
Updated profiles list
A few notes of configuring Intel QuickSync encoding in MSI Afterburner.

First, ensure that your hardware supports QuickSync Video technology. The following hardware is required:
Intel CPU with QuickSync Video technology support (SandyBridge, Ivy Bridge or Hawell core). You may use this link into to see if your Intel CPU supports this technology.
Mainboard with integrated Intel HD graphics support (refer to your mainboard specs to see it)
To use QuickSync on such platform you must:
Enable Intel HD graphics in your mainboard BIOS. If it is enabled correctly, you must see Intel HD graphics active in your device manager next you your discrete AMD/NVIDIA graphics card
Install the latest Intel HD graphics driver. QuickSync works via Intel HD driver so using outdated driver may degrade encoding performance drastically
There are 3 QuickSync acceleration modes available in MSI Afterburner:
Disabled acceleration - uses CPU software emulation. It is left for performance testing/debugging only and it REQUIRES additional Intel Media SDK installation. It is not recommended to use this mode.
Direct3D9 acceleration - uses Direct3D9Ex accelerated encoding. This mode is only available under Windows Vista and newer OS. This mode REQUIRES connecting monitor to Intel HD graphics output or forcing monitor detection for Intel HD graphics. Detailed instructions on forcing monitor detection for enabling QuickSync can be found here.
Direct3D11 acceleration - uses Direct3D11.1 accelerated encoding. This mode is only available under Windows 8 and newer OS. This mode doesn't require any monitor detection tricks so it is strongly recommended to use it if it is available (i.e. if you're under Windows 8).
To verify that everything is set up properly just hit the <Benchmark> button. It will try to encode some short video in your current desktop resolution and show you the results. If you system is not configured properly, benchmark won't start.

Note: some of you have been wondering about the new skin in the screenshot. You can download these below, located at Dragon Army Skins. Enjoy

Would like someone to release an OC tool where you don't have to fiddle to get 1.3v on the 780's. Is it really that hard for them to code it in?

Rbby's tool does this doesnt it? Type number, press go and your done...

Besides, msi don't want to get in any more bother with nvidia by coding in gk110 over voltage.
 
It wont happen with Nvidia restrictions on MSI. Only the LN2 guys can have it with NDA signed and special ABX.
 
Cheers Scotty.

EDIT

Ram usage and Pagefile usage added to the OSD???

Wicked you can now monitor cpu temps for threads 1-8 and cpu usage for threads 1-8, ram usage as well. Pagefile seems broken or wrong though. My page file is 2-4GB but its being reported at over 6GB here?

EDIT Added a new screenshot with pagefile removed. Seems to be reported incorrectly.

IF only MSI afterburner could modify the Power Limit and or volts beyond the Cards max, instead of having to bios unlock the card :( :(

Can you link me that tool please?
Click to expand...

Will when I get in from work, basically run along side afterburner and adjusts on the fly, works with a few controllers including the titan/780/770/690 ncp4206 vr.

As for higher power limit, kbt!!! Make your own ;)
 
Just don't go nuts with volts on air, they get very hot and you'll likely run straight into the power limit.

I've already had 1.3v unlocked through changing something in the file, but I use Precision now as I prefer the UI although voltage is limited, will go back to afterburner if I can just use a simple tool to change volt limit.

@Matt,

how do you get all the cpu cores/temps listed horizontally, mines are all listed separately, can you make the font smaller at all?
Click to expand...

Sent you an email Tommy. I'm not 100% sure but i sent you a screenshot of my config settings. Maybe if you copy that it will display like mine. Remove hwinfo and any other overlays first though.

In rivatuner you can make the text bigger or small by using the on screen display zoom. Bottom right hand corner in the image below. I'd also recommend changing the text colour to white and enabling on screen display shadow to make the text clear and easily viewable.

If its all working correctly it should look similar to mine. I remove fan speed, page file usage and memory voltage though as its not really needed.
