What's new in this version:
- Fixed database issue with Device_ID for GeForce GTX 980 Ti Lightning edition
- Added AMD Fiji graphics processors family support
- Hardware abstraction layer architecture has been revamped to allow implementation of voltage control via direct access to GPU ondie voltage controllers (e.g. AMD Fiji SMC) in addition to previously supported external voltage controllers connected to GPU via I2C bus. Please take a note that direct access to AMD SMC from multiple simultaneously running hardware monitoring applications can be unsafe and result in collisions, so similar to I2C access synchronization we introduce global namespace synchronization mutex “Access_ATI_SMC” as SMC access synchronization standard. Other developers are strongly suggested to use it during accessing AMD GPU SMC in order to provide collision free hardware monitoring
- Added core voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON R9 Fury / Nano series cards with on-die SMC voltage controller
- Added unofficial overclocking support for PowerPlay7 capable graphics cards (AMD Tonga and newer graphics processors family). Please take a note that unofficial overclocking mode with completely disabled PowerPlay is currently not supported for PowerPlay7 capable hardware
- Added version detection for AMD Radeon Software Crimson edition. Please take a note that new AMD Radeon Software versioningscheme is not backward compatible so now Catalyst version can be reported improperly if you reinstall older versions of Catalyst drivers on top of AMD Radeon Software Crimson edition without cleaning the registry up. Until the issue is addressed inside AMD Radeon Software Crimson edition installer, MSI Afterburner is providing compatibility switch “LegacyDriverDetection” in the configuration file allowing you to use legacy driver version detection mechanism if you’re rolling back to legacy Catalyst drivers after AMD Radeon Software Crimson edition drivers
- GPU usage monitoring filtering algorithms, aimed to filter GPU usage monitoring artifacts in AMD ADL API on AMD Sea Islands GPU family are now disabled by default. Filtering algorithms can still be enabled by power users via configuration file if necessary
- Added core, memory and auxiliary PEXVDD voltage control for custom design MSI GTX980Ti Lightning series graphics cards with IR3595A+IR3567B voltage regulators
- Added memory and VRM temperature monitoring for custom design MSI GTX980Ti Lightning series graphics cards with NCT7511Y thermal sensors
- Now SDK includes detailed documentation for third party hardware database format, allowing experienced users to add voltage control support for custom design non-MSI graphics cards
- Temperature monitoring for AMD Family 10h – 16h micro architecture CPUs is no longer experimental. Now thermal monitoring on such CPUs is unlocked by default
- Slightly altered VRAM usage monitoring implementation for AMD and Intel graphics cards. Now total resident bytes are being displayed as VRAM usage instead of total committed bytes, and allocated blocks are no longer being rounded to 1MB boundary per block when calculating a total value
- Improved skin engine. Added support for altered USF skins obfuscation scheme used in most recent versions of third party overclocking tools
- Added Brazilian Portuguese localization
- RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v6.4.1

What's new in this version:
- Added core voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X series graphics cards
- Added core voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti series graphics cards
- Now core voltage control via NCP4206 is unlocked on reference design NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN series graphics cards when extended MSI voltage control mode is selected
- Added new third party voltage control mode. Traditionally we provided voltage control on reference design graphics cards or on custom design MSI graphics cards only. However, rich set of PWM controllers supported by MSI Afterburner core allows implementing voltage control on many third party custom design graphics cards as well. With this version we introduce original concept of user extendable voltage control mode, allowing experienced users to get access to programmable MSI Afterburner core, get access to full range of voltage controllers supported by it, create custom hardware database and program MSI Afterburner to provide voltage control on many third party custom design graphics cards. Third party voltage control mode requires populating and downloading third party hardware database, please visit MSI Afterburner discussion forums to help adding your custom design cards to the database or download the latest database version
- Fixed bug causing application to crash when “layered with alpha” skin composition mode is selected, application is minimized to system tray and properties are accessed via the context menu of detached monitoring window
Improved hardware monitoring module:
- Added negative temperatures monitoring support for NVIDIA GPUs o Fixed extended CPU family and model detection to address issue with incorrect maximum junction temperature (Tjmax) detection on some Intel CPUs
- Now power users can override the maximum junction temperature (Tjmax) via configuration file if necessary
- Added temperature monitoring for AMD Family 10h – 16h micro architecture CPUs. Please take a note that this functionality is currently experimental and disabled by default. Power users can unlock AMD CPU temperature monitoring via [CPUHAL] section in the configuration file if necessary
- Added correction formulas support. Now you can apply a custom correction formula to any data source in hardware monitoring module. Correction formulas can be useful to apply temperature offsets to custom temperature sensors if necessary (e.g. set formula to “x+20”), display effective memory clock instead of base clock (e.g. set formula to “x*2”), display per-GPU memory usage instead of total memory usage on Crossfire systems (e.g. set formula to “x/2”) and many, many more
- Hardware Monitoring Log file format has been upgraded to v1.5 to provide correction formulas support
- Added “CPU load” graph to multicore CPUs. The graph is displaying the average CPU load across all CPU cores
- Added “CPU temperature” graph to thermal monitoring capable multicore CPUs. The graph is displaying the maximum CPU temperature across all CPU cores
- Added connection retry counter to Logitech LCD monitoring module. Now MSI Afterburner stop trying to connect to Logitech LCD after some failed connection attempts instead of trying to connect to it in endless loop. Retry counter implementation is aimed to bypass the problem with GDI resource leak in Logitech LCD API, which could cause application to crash after some period of time when output to LCD is enabled on the system with no Logitech LCD connected to it
- Added dynamic output format for min / max limits displayed on the graphs. Now MSI Afterburner uses integer output format for limits if the range between minimum and maximum limits is greater than 1, otherwise it uses floating point output format
Improved skin engine:
- Added support for altered USF skins obfuscation scheme used in most recent versions of third party overclocking tools
- Drastically reduced load time for obfuscated USF skin files (*.UXF). Now MSI Afterburner open obfuscated skin files roughly 10 times faster than the previous version
- Reduced skinned GUI initialization time due to cached access to the skin header
- Added support for negative GPU temperature indicators in all skins supplied with application
- Multimedia timer resolution is no longer hardcoded to 10ms. The resolution is now adjustable and set to 16ms by default to reduce timer interrupts related CPU load at the cost of losing some smoothness in GUI animation. Power users can override timer resolution via the configuration file if necessary
- Updated kernel mode driver provides new IOCTLs for safe access to PCI bus required for temperature monitoring on AMD CPUs

MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded tversion 4.4.0. New version gives you the following major improvements in Predator videcapture module:
- Improved RTV1 compression algorithm. New compression approach combines DXTC, RLE and uncompressed data saving algorithms and allows you tincrease image quality at the cost of decreasing compression ratio, while keeping extremely fast compression performance. Please take a note that the previous RTV1 compression implementation is equal tthe lowest possible 25% image quality/compression ratibalance in new implementation
- Added 64-bit version of RivaTuner VideCodec. Now RTV1 videos are playable and editable in 64-bit applications (e.g. 64-bit Sony Vegas PRor Adobe Premiere PRCS6)
- Huffman tables are nlonger omitted by MJPG encoder timprove compatibility with applications using limited MJPG decoders (e.g. Sony Vegas PRO)
- Now both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of RivaTuner VideCodec can optionally decode MJPG videos. Third party MJPG codec installation is nlonger required tplay or edit MJPG videos with omitted Huffman tables in some applications with limited MJPG decoding support (e.g. Sony Vegas PRO). MJPG decoder can be enabled in videcapture compatibility properties
- Multisource audirecording. Now it is possible trecord audifrom twindependent audisources (e.g. game audiand microphone sound) in twindependent auditracks then mix them later in videediting application (e.g. Sony Vegas PRO) or optionally mix multiple tracks in realtime during capture
- Now it is possible tdownmix multichannel auditsterein stererip and steremix modes. Previously available stererip mode simply rips front left and right audichannels from multichannel audi******, whilst new steremix mode merges audifrom front left, right, center and surround channels
- WASAPI audipackets with timestamp error are nlonger included intoutput audi******
- External VFW codecs support. Now in addition tbuilt-in uncompressed, RTV1 and MJPG encoders it is alspossible tencode videusing external VFW codecs installed in the system. It is recommended tdownload, install and use Lagarith Lossless Codec for lossless videcapturing or x264vfw codec for the maximum compression ratio, MSI Afterburner was developed tprovide the best compatibility with these codecs
