Afterburner v.1.2.0 (2009-10-12)

Added NVIDIA G 210 and GT 240 series graphics cards support
Added voltage control for custom design MSI N220GT and N240GT series graphics cards with uP6262 voltage regulators
Added intitial AMD RADEON HD 5750 and AMD RADEON HD 5770 series graphics cards support
Added Logitech keyboards LCD displays support. Now it is possible to display hardware monitor data in Logitech keyboards LCD
Extended I2C address scanning range for uP6208 voltage regulators to allow supporting voltage control on non-MSI custom design graphics cards equipped with uP6208
Fixed on-board memory size detection for AMD RADEON HD 5000 series graphics cards
Now option also affects voltage control
Fixed database entry for AMD RADEON HD 4890 series graphics cards. Afterburner no longer adjusts 2D voltage instead of 3D voltage on AMD RADEON HD 4890
Fixed database entry for AMD RADEON HD 5850 series graphics cards. Afterburner no longer adjusts UVD voltage instead of 3D voltage on AMD RADEON HD 5850
Automatic profiles manager is now restarted after resuming from suspended mode
Revised VRM access synchronization protocol for safer simultaneous VRM polling by multiple software products at the same time
Added setting to the context menu of detached hardware monitor window. When this option is disabled, hardware monitor window can be minimized to the taskbar while staying in detached mode
Now it is possible to pause hardware monitor activity via option in the context menu of hardware monitor window
Maximum allowed hardware polling period has been extended from 5 to 60 seconds
Added configuration file setting allowing power users to display performance profiler status informaition in the hardware monitor window. The information allows estimating average CPU performance hit caused by hardware monitor and software automatic fan control layers
Optimized timer message queue processing under high CPU load conditions for better hardware monitoring and software automatic fan control events handling
Reduced CPU usage for simultaneous GPU clock frequency and GPU usage readings on AMD graphics cards, both values are being read in single pass now
Maximum limits has been extended from 1000 to 1500MHz for core clock graph and from 2000 to 2500MHz for shader clock and memory clock graphs
Added readme file and option to display it in the installer
Now tab is not displayed in advanced settings window if there are no fan control capable GPUs in the system
Updated context help files, added more hints to button help

Kiner, the first change in the list "- Add voltage adjustment of ATI Radeon HD 5870 and 5850" seem to be left there from the previous version. It doesn't apply to v1.2.0.

Excellent addition, this program is perfect for overclocking GTX280's in SLI with easy access to modify the voltages of both cards simultaneously - something I couldn't do in Rivatuner.

Thanks, Garrett. Also, it seems like the text inside <...> was also lost on download page. I've fixed it in the first posting in this thread, but the problem still exists on MSI download page.

For example,

"Now <Synchronize settings for similar graphics processors> option also affects voltage control"

looks like

"Now option also affects voltage control"

on the download page.

Best app ever. I bought an MSI motherboard (P55-GD65) just because msi is so awesome!

There are no and will not be any "already". Software won't allow you to bypass BIOS limits. MSI and ASUS cards will be supplied with extended limits in BIOS, the rest will need to update their BIOSes to bypass the limit or use AMDGPUClockTool / ATITool / GPUTool / RivaTuner for that (but it will also kill PowerPlay support). Use search please, I've already addressed the question a few times.

Kickass !

This was the only reason I wasn't using it. Time for some more tests to see if I will like it more than RT.
