MSI Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 15(2013-09-16)

Hi guys, the Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 15 is ready for you to download. this version supports the control of NVIDIA and AMD graphics card, if you get the card, you may try to play it.

Change note:

• Added CPU temperature monitoring (Intel Core 2 and newer Intel CPUs only), CPU usage, RAM usage and pagefile usage graphs to hardware monitoring module
• Added CPU info to “i” window
• Now full list of currently active 3D processes is being displayed in On-Screen Display server info section in “i” window instead of one active 3D process before
• Fixed GUI issue causing vertical slider to be rendered improperly in advanced application properties window under certain conditions
• 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:
o 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
o Now the plugins can optionally provide extended error reporting info
• Improved Intel QuickSync H.264 encoder plugin:
o Added dedicated encoder server support
o Added extended error reporting support
o Recompiled under Intel Media SDK 2013 R2
• Fixed previously available compatibility mode with modified Direct3D runtime libraries broken 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:
o Tuned queued screen capture implementation
o Tuned pipeline flushing implementation
o Tuned dynamic pipeline flushing control
• 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

Thanks.

 

Thanks dude! :thumbup:

 

Alex you have my deepest gratitude for your work. :thumbup:
Slowly but surely it looks like Riva is reborn and improved with your latest Afterburner development.

 

second that! but would like to add riva is almost reborn. i personally still miss one single feature from riva - alex, you know.

anyway, i'm impressed what you are able to pack into ab!

 

nice!
Is getting closer to r/t but i understand to leave a little off the table

 

Thanks! Love being able to capture using QuickSync. I do have some issues with audio sync trying to edit the files afterwards though, any tips or suggestions there? My workflow is normally capture to AVI, make an AVS script, trim out what I don't need, reencode with MeGUI, upload. Now, since I have to capture to MKV to use QuickSync, this method doesn't keep the audio in sync any more.

My AVS script looks like this:
LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
audio=FFAudioSource("capture.mkv")
video=FFVideoSource("capture.mkv", threads=1)
audiodub(video,audio)

I made two videos to illustrate my troubles:

Thanks,I am looking forward to!!:banana:
I have been using a combination with HWiNFO
There is little demand
CPU clock item
RAM usage or can display only programs that hook?

Items below it are displayed setting in HWiNFO than RAM

 

Add this to your script:

AssumeFPS(30,1,true)

 

This version is beyond awesome. I´ll try to have some time in the next few weeks to give afterburner some portuguese love like i said in the past.

 

Before i use fraps for recording gameplay, but the output were too big.
Now I'm using msi ab with x264 codec much smaller output but good quality.

But i miss some feature..pause the record and recording further..will that be possible for the next build?

 

Thanks, tried it, but it didn't work. It did point me in the direction of a solution though! I guess it has something to do with how the MKV gets written, and how FMMS2 reads it, but I found that I could fix the issues by adding fpsnum=30 to the video load segment, and that cleared all sync issues up.

So for those who are interested, here's the complete script in working order:
LoadPlugin("ffms2.dll")
audio=FFAudioSource("capture.mkv")
video=FFVideoSource("capture.mkv", threads=1, fpsnum=30)
audiodub(video,audio)

 

Additions to monitoring greatly appreciated.

Makes afterburner an even more outstanding tool.

Thanks.

 

With pause and resume u have only got 1 file, otherwise u got several files and need another programm to merge it together.

I want to use it for iracing where u have different camerapositions. Just pause it, switch to another camera view or driver and resume recording.. it would be a lot easier, but too bad it isn't planned.

Eyefinity video of iracing(using only 1 cameraview , spec on crashes)

U understand that it can be a lot more excitement/spectaculair with using pause
