MSI afterburner bug report & suggestion

[Pill Monster]

To extend clocks past CCC limits, simply place atipdlxx.dll in the MSI AB directory and add -xcl to the AB shortcut, then reboot.

Now ab can show realtime voltage if you want but
thing is noobs would freak out and flood the developer with"my voltage goes up and down" or "voltage is not where i set it" so for all familys it set up this way by default..
getting back to realtime voltage and 6xx
only seen for myself on 680's so take it as you will.
The voltage will "max out" at 1.21v on ref asus 680 and dcII's with slider or not read on a dmm, slider would put it in p0 or something to boost it up faster over the card doing it itself later.
Yes the slider adds voltage too... i use it to bump up voltaqe some on my hard modded cards...you have to find the right volt step thuogh or else you go backwards
at 1.40v ab says 1.17 lol

Hrrm, this is VERY interesting news in terms of ramifications. In fact I even started a thread on OCN about your post, and I'd be happy if you could clarify (either here or there) that I understood you correctly

Are you confident that what you see in the AB graphs is truly a 'cap', as opposed to AB just displaying a constant negative delta vs 'reality'? I.E. is it possible AB is still precise, but not actually accurate, as opposed to there being a hard cap in place that makes the AB reading neither precise nor accurate, if you understand my terms there?

I guess a very revealing observation could be made from the answer to these questions:
1) Do you never see > 1.175V even on hard-modded OV cards, even though you know via DMM that an OV even higher than 1.12V is actually happening?
2) If your DMM shows voltage at 1.175V or less, does AB then display the voltage accurately?

BTW, what kind of clocks are you able to hit on these hard-modded cards?

TIA,
Brett

1 nope highest in ab is 1.17v even if well over that
2 no it does not show 2d voltage all three softwares i use are the same that i'v tried(ab nvi prex)

The party starts at 1.35v very little gained till then.
The ref 680 i did not go over 1.38v since the thing is built like an 88gt so not really pushed too much.
The non ref card with better underpinnings i do push up to 1.40v np and i can tell you this if ab lets the lightning go that far with software,boosting well past 1400+ on stock air would be np

its very easy to read with a dmm you know.
i think this is your card here
just touch the red probe to 1 of the tops on these row of caps,stick the black on your case,card bracket or any ground.
if you touch two caps dont worry it may blackscreen just restart and pray lol nah its np just restart
ref 680 for anyone who wants to try is along the tops of the row of caps that are in the same spot as this card

what i normally do is solder a 12-16 inch long wire to the read point and hold it in place with artist putty so it dont pull off,wrap the end around the red probe,then stick my black probe in the card bracket.(its best all hands free this way)
Just tin the wire with alittle solder get iron hot and lightly touch iron to wire where you want it(or just try with putty holding it there)
since i have no case this is easy for me and since i have no life it helps me pass time seeing what app pulls the most voltage or maxes it out the least.

This utility is absolutely worthless for any 12.6+ driver. It seems to dynamically clock when watching any video that uses flash. At any point when transitioning to these flash based videos the whole display will become corrupted.

And how is AB to blame for this exactly? People like you are annoying.

I'm glad the Internet could bring us together in such a fine fashion.

You have to take into account that it may be a issue with your tri fire config. I am using 12.6 and have no issue with flash. Once you run a multi card setup you are going to run into weird issues.

pls i am missing in afterburner new nvidia Frame Rate Target. I think it is great feature and i can only experience this feature in EVGA Precision X. Thanks.

BUG REPORT - OSD Problem, HD7950 windows 7

I searched this thread and can't find this issue. I have a 7950 card. I start up msi afterburner, and then I start up riva - because I formerly had an 8800gtx card in this computer, windows 7.

I get all the gpu information I could want on top, and all my old cpu information, load, temps - it's perfect.

But occasionally, the gpu information displays long text strings that make no sense. I have uninstalled the program before which fixed the problem for a while. Tonight the error returned. I got a Warning box on the screen that says "Warning! You are trying to display too many text information in the On Screen Display." The warning is longer than that, but it suggests I turn off some monitoring. I have to turn off ALL gpu items, meaning that everything in afterburner must be off - nothing showing Display in OSD - which leaves my cpu information coming in from riva.

To show you what is displayed, I just turned on gpu temp. Here is what it displays:
340282346638528860000000000000000000000000000. It might keep going, but it runs out the right side of my screen - I have the osd on upper right corner.

Unwinder, it's some kind of bug I assume. Otherwise I'm very happy with your program - thank you very much.

Next year on my new motherboard, I will install the 8800gtx first, get all the cpu information working in rivatuner, then install afterburner to pick up the gpu information.

thanks again,
Rich

I have had to disable hardware rendering for Flash since I swapped from HD 4870x2 crossfire to HD 5970 (and to HD 6970 crossfire). Please direct your blame at AMD, where it belongs.

Taking a screenshot using a hotkey while Ctrl is pressed does not work. The same probably holds for hotkeys associated with other functions.

Hi, I'm new to Afterburner and I was wondering one thing (sorry if this has already been posted). After recording some gameplay footage, I've found the audio to be out of sync with the visuals by about half a second. It's pretty noticeable. The video comes out perfectly and I don't lose frame-rate at all during gameplay (so far I've just tested it on Rock of Ages and Battlefield 3 on maximum settings). I was wondering if there was something I missed/messed up something in the settings. These are my video capture settings:

I know that the Downmix option is useless unless I have WASAPI playback selected, but I didn't see the harm in having it selected anyway. Though, I did try WASAPI playback using my speakers, but I had the same results.

Any advice would be appreciated

Hi there
I just registered to say that i use a lot the Afterburner for overclocking and monotoring and congrats to those how have developed a powerful tool likes this..

But where goes nothing ^^

I usually use fraps to record, but its payed as you know, and i dont feel to good in droping almost 35€ to pay for it..
It does the job completely anyway

I was about to migrate to Afterburner, but i notice some stutter on recording, that fraps doesnt have..

Anybody noticed yet?
Are the team aware of this stutter?

Thanks..

Hi,

Does anyone know whether the +135MHz core overclock limit on the mobile Kepler cards comes from MSI Afterburner, the Nvidia API or from the VBIOS?

[Worldbreaker]

When I load afterburner up everything appears to be fine, but when I click settings to try to sort out video recording the top of the settings window is off the top of my screen and I have no way of moving or resizing the window.

Nevermind, figured it out. It's a vbios limit, can easily be changed.

Hey does anybody know why the volt setting isnt saved after PC restart? Quiet annoying...

And when i change clock settings the screen is flickering really bad. It's fixed until i restart my PC, and the clocks are still saved and no problems further.

I'm having a very frustrating problem with this latest 'final' version. The d3d9 override in the OSD doesn't work properly anymore, and I don't know why. the old beta 9 worked flawlessly, was able to get SKSE and ENB/SMAA/FXAA injectors working alongside the OSD in Skyrim, but now it just crashes hard on load, have to end the process.
I want my working OSD fix back, dammit. I can't monitor how tweaks are affecting the game without it.

Bug report:

I have a ASUS GTX670-DC2T-2GD5 and a MSI GTX460 Hawk (for physx).



Now I choose the other videocard via Settings.



Again I choose the other videocard via Settings.



As you can see Afterburner also applied the +500Mhz for the memory on the MSI GTX460 while it shouldn't. The setting Synchronize for similar graphics processors is disabled in the Settings.

Hi Unwinder and MSIAB packager:

Is it possible to release updated version for HD 7970 ghz edition for voltage changes? Both Trixx (the one made to work with newer drivers) and AB detect a default voltage of 1.131v, although the AB OSD itself says it's 1.187v. Changing the voltage gets "recognized" in both Trixx and AB as changed, but the voltage doesn't really change; it's still 1.187v

(one good thing about the ghz edition cards is it comes with HUGELY increased clock ranges in CCC).

I don't expect anything to work, I am just highlighting the issue and waiting patiently.

[m4gg0t]

power target % with the red theme doesn't show up on the main GUI and you have to go into the settings to change it, but when you do it doesn't stay and reverts back to 100% when i've selected 133%. using the green theme it works fine.

[ObscureangelPT]

Why no longer support the monotoring of memory usage on a HD 7850?
MSI AFTERBURNER 2.2.3

Thanks

[mdp_mason]

I know its probably already I the works, I just wanted to be sure if some one had at least thought about this so when people do Videos they can do microphone commentary, gameplay audio, and something else like a skype call. Thank you.
