MSI Afterburner 2.3.1 (2013-01-23)

[msi-afterburner]

Hi guys, the Afterburner 2.3.1 official version is ready for you to download. this version supports the control of South Island and Kepler card, if you get the card, you may try to play it.

Changes list includes:
• Now MSI Afterburner optionally allows you to detect VRM defaults without rebooting the PC
• Added voltage control support for UEFI GOP BIOS for MSI R7970 Lightning Boost Edition series graphics cards
• Now MSI Afterburner displays the list of assigned global hotkeys in “i” window
• Now MSI Afterburner properties window is resizable to provide compatibility with low-resolution desktops (less than 1280x1024 with 100% DPI)
• Added new “Enable hardware control and monitoring” option to compatibility properties. This option can be useful if you are using MSI Afterburner for framerate monitoring and videocapture only and don't want to risk suddenly overclocking your PC
• Added NCT7511Y thermal sensors support to provide compatibility with future MSI graphics cards
• Added workaround for possible VID rounding issues for all supported voltage generator models
• Updated Italian localization
• MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 4.5.0. New version gives you the following improvements:
o Improved audio mixer architecture provides better extendibility and better audio tracks synchronization when mixing multiple audio tracks in one
o Push-To-Talk audio recording support. Now you can assign a hotkey for each audio stream and record unmuted audio only when the hotkey is pressed
o Updated German localization

excellent

do you know why the download from the msi site is so slow? always get 30-50kb/s

Thanks for new version!

It seems the Guru3D links don't work, they keep redirecting to MSI download (which is super slow). (At least the EU does when it finally goes thru. Didn't have enough patience to confirm for US link.)

Yeah MSI links are pretty bad in terms of speed.
The Guru3D Gigabit mirrors have been updated, you can use them now for fast downloads.

Thanks for the update!

Edit - oops, new RTSS crashing at startup. Rolled back to v4.4.0 and all is well again.

Faulting application rtss.exe, version 4.5.0.0, faulting module rtsshooks.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0000e5cb.

No issues here, 4.5.0 was in testing for long period of time in both MSI and EVGA applications. No ideas what is wrong in oyur system, probably you installed new version ignoring rtsshooks.dll overwrite warning and didn't reboot the system after that. Try to perform clean install.

Thanks for the update!

A quick question and sorry if has been talked already, is possible to set a hotkey of the mouse on the "Push-To-Talk" for record? I can't. Thanks!

[Unwinder]

No, it is not. And there are no plans to add mouse buttons support to hotkey handler, sorry.

[Conrad.TDI]

New updates to this great piece of software are always appreciated.

Thanks!

Understood, thanks for answer and for the work!

As always, everything being on Chinese servers is pretty slow to us, Europeans. Your country needs special connection routes with China in order to get faster speeds. Who knows how many paths the software travels until it reach your PC.

For instance, ASUS or Realtek, if I don't carefully chose the server, I usually get 19kb/s. Even if I chose "US", it's clearly not US. Perhaps these are still on China, but somehow "optimised" for true US residents. Either something else is going on. Usually I can get extremely good speeds on native US servers -obviously 'cause Europe has good connections with USA.

Thanks for reply. Already tried clean install and RTSS v4.5.0 still crashed. Rolled back to v4.4.0. Let me guess noone is testing this application under Windows XP.

Not true. Good part of time I'm developing it on XP, as it is still installed on my office PC. When coding from home, it is developed on Win 8. Some issue isolated on your system, sorry.

[rewt]

You're right rebooting and clean installing again did finally solve that problem thanks. The installer didn't warn me about any files in use or need for reboot.

30 minutes later however I do still have the minor issue below.

[rewt]

Been getting this error at logoff for several versions now. Maybe the problems on my system are due to Microsoft QFE branch updates or FixIt buttons, I don't know.

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

Funny all of my errors are somehow related to RTSS.exe, WTF lol

You download manually from here:

We have fast US and EU Gigabit mirrors.

Yes very fast thank you

[Igb]

I can't find with this new version the "Power limit" option (with a pair of reference design gtx 680), neither where it was or hidden between the settings dialog. Was it removed for any reason or am I missing something?

Cannot find any information on the changelog or in the forum either

[Extraordinary]

Having problems installing this new version, I have shutdown MSIAB before the install but still getting this error

[Unwinder]

That's not "this new version", that's BASICS. Use proper update way. Uninstall->reboot->install.

That's similar to the problem I had (except I didn't see a warning). Reboot solved it like Unwinder says.

lol thats not a update then, its a reinstall if I have uninstall first, never had to do that before

Will it delete all my preferences doing that?

[rewt]

It asks you whether or not you like to keep settings.

Another possibility is to untick the automatic startup option, reboot, then update.
