It is physically impossible to add more, more and more options to windows without resizing them or making them scrollable. A few more options have been added to video capture tab, new size is a minimum to fit it.

OK, I understand. Tahnks for updated beta!

thanks for the Update

I have one thing which is a bit ugly when updating. Afterburner doesn't recognize it's old install folder and always tries to install to C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner when I update Afterburner.

I see...
Increasing the PowerTune percentage isn't really necessary when PowerPlay is disabled?
or to rephrase that... power throttling (through the slider value) is disabled when PP is disabled? I think that can be done still through unofficial overclocking=2, right?

There is no install path saving/restoring implemented inside the installer. It is not supposed to recognize that, the installer is designed that way.

Yes, absolutely correct. PowerTune makes sense only in conjunction with PowerPlay.

Can you store the last install path, please?

Unwinder · 02-02-2012, 14:30 | posts: 10,324 | Location: Taganrog, Russia

No promises on that, not a priority thing, sorry.

I have this bug when using the unofficial overclocking mode with my 7970 where I can save the clocks to a profile but loading them defaults that profile to the lowest possible clocks.

if I don't use the unofficial overclocking mode the max clocks (like in the CCC) stay when you load a profile.

Unwinder · 02-02-2012, 14:41 | posts: 10,324 | Location: Taganrog, Russia

Slowly read unofficial overclocking EULA please.

Alternatively you can flash the BIOS to one that has a higher clock limit.

@Unwinder
Thanks again !
Italian localization updated, check PM !

But I had a problem, I lost all underclocked and overclocked profiles I had created while the profile of the fan has remained unchanged ... is the first time this has happened since the updating the program...
However no problem, I have recreated them

It has been stated over and over that unofficial overclocking isn't supported by the developers/sponsors.
The point of this thread is for feedback on things that they DO support.

right, moving on then.

why do my recordings record at 1920x1072 instead of 1080 with this version?.

Profile format change is explicitly reflected in the release notes and even highlighted with bold:

- Improved overclocking profiles format provides compatibility with future graphics cards. Please take a note that existing overclocking profiles (startup overclocking profile and profile slots) will be ignored and must be recreated in new version

Read the release notes!

- Output video dimensions are now cropped to be multiple of 16 to improve compatibility with some third party MJPG decoders

I'm simply tired of dealing with users installing third party MJPG codecs with 16-aligned height/width limitations then blaming Afterburner for that. Thank those guys if you don't like it, sorry.

Damn. Just nailed down the problem, new "shiny" AMD's official PowerTune adjustment API silently resets PowerPlay tables causing clocks to be reset when unofficial overclocking is in use.
I really "love" programming for ATI, it is like walking through the minefield.

Thanks for the update, as always great stuff

I think I broke something though. I'm getting the following error at shutdown on Windows XP. Any ideas?

"Application popup: RTSS.exe - DLL Initialization Failed : The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down."

The global profile hotkeys don't work for me.

I made new profiles and new hotkeys.

Read post 46 and switch to official overclocking mode. PowerTune adjustment breaks unofficial one.
