Possible ideas for future Afterburner functionality upgrades

There's various things I would like to be add on Afterburner:

- DX11 n DX10.1 support for the OSD. (I Know that in MSAA the OSD doesn't work, but your explanation doesn't convence me. If you just put warnings on TOOLTIPS the noobs will get it.)
- We need to see all sensors temps, afterburner only report one, the GPU Temp. Theres VRM's 1 2 n 3 and GPU 1 2 n 3 Temps, so i think thats very important too.
- Add PLUGINS would be awesome, but as u already told us that isn't going to happen, that's sad.
- Add "Log file Settings". Record, pause/resume, clean up, stop, save, open from, record until XX minutes. That will be great too.
- Add option of GROUP NAME on OSD. For example, i wanna see temps of VRMs 1 2 n 3. So they will stay like that on OSD:
VRM 1: x
VRM 2: y
VRM 3: z
Group name would allow me to put'em all together like that: VRMs 1 2 n 3: x , y , z

uh, i know there's one or two more things i would like to say for adding on afterburner but i just can't remember them now... U know if IT have all those things cited by me IT would be the a SIMPLY N A PERFECT PROGRAM. That act of asking people what they want in program surely have to be applauded Unwinder.

My askings being or not accepted I thank you just for asking cuz this atitude is great. Thanks!

 

I vote for resizing monitoring graphs

 

And voting for forced 2D/3D clocks switching.

 

Would be great if we could see some sort of temperature warning feature in case the fan or something else malfunctions. If temps exceed a user specified limit, then a visual or sound warning could come on.

 

AutoFanSpeed By Pre-Set Temp

One thing that would be especially nice to see would be the option to configure the fan to run at whatever speed was necessary to keep the GPU Temp at a pre-set value. Base the option on GPU Temp instead of specific fan speed.

Thank you!


Oh! One other thing would be really nice - to be able to specify a value to be shown either instead of the icon in the SystemTray, or in the ToolTip when the icon is selected.

 

I would like to see a lower GPU voltage and lower MEM clock as my 5850 is able to run slower than the lowest settings I can currently set in 2D.

Also, Im not sure if its possible but would you be able to set a third profile for say when the computer is completely idle? Like when you leave it running overnight to download large files and probably switch the monitor off.

 

An in-game temperature monitor would be cool. Just have the degrees in the top right corner of the game or something.

 

rofl :funny:

 

@Unwinder

i saw u've released a beta version (1.6.0 beta1).. also im very thankful about the support for DX11 on OSD (wot about DX10.1, is possible to add support for it?). Glad to see the Log story too!!!!! Screenshot support!!! This is half the way to the perfect zone.

but uh, i don't know if u read my lastest post here, if u did, can u confirm if some of the things i've sad was missing will be add? like groupname on OSD, like see allsensors temps disposes on the board (VRM1,2,3 GPU1,2,3), that would be really great.

dx11 support is half the way to the perfect zone =) , glad it's supported now

THANK U SO MUCH!

 

1. Reading .hml (hardware monitoring log) files will be great.
2. User defined fan settings to stay after closing Afterburner. (if possible )

 

Sapphire Vapor X cards voltage control!

 

Well rev.1 Vapor-X boards do have voltage control with afterburner, but i guess the reason why you posted this is for a rev.2 board with a non reference design...
I can probably speak for Unwinder on this one here, and the answer is 100% no. Unless Unwinder knows some way to get around these new voltage regulators on the non reference boards... Besides if that is not a problem, Then the time it takes to get it to work probably will be.

 

Not related to RivaTuner but an option to set which the card in PCI-E slot 1 to GPU1 would be useful as I mentioned in the MSI Afterburner Bug thread as mine is currently detected as GPU2 and caused me much initial confusion while I was testing CrossFireX. I actually thought my hardware was faulty or that I set CrossFireX up wrong.

 

480 SPAWA Temp?

 

Hi Unwinder, i'd like to see support for 64bit Apps like Crysis in the RT or AB OSD. I'm aware that that's only a concern for a few people, but it would be nice to have. If it's not possible or planned, nevermind.

Thanks for your software :thumbup:

@zuppi: I don't think anyone speaking english will unterstand what you mean by "SPAWA".
Try some english in an english forum; what you wanted to say was "VRM" (Voltage Regulator Module, the very same as Spannungswandler)
