    RTFM, settings must be applied prior to saving a profile.

    Because it is the only safe and logical way. Try to imagine that some idiot type in unstable 1GHz core clock, save it to profile without applying it first (i.e. even without ensuring that harwdare is not immediately crashing with such settings) then let's say associate such profile with 2D mode via automatic profiles manager. Only applied settings are saveable and it will not change under any conditions. Such approach is used and will always be used in the majority of overclocking tools. And to avoid "why?" questions just read help prior to using anything. It is not hard at all.

    just found out that if I`m running afterburner + statistic server or rivatuner + statistic server it pushes my fps down for 5-30% ;F depends on game.

    Try to find out such thing as a context help prior to enabling ANY option, amount of information displayed in OSD directly affects performance hit!!!


    Show in On-Screen Display
    Allows showing currently selected graph values in the On-Screen Display.

    Hints:
    - You must activate and select desired graph to get access to this option.
    - On-Screen Display rendering is not free in terms of performance, each displayed symbol requires both CPU and GPU resources. So try to avoid displaying unnecessary information in the On-Screen Display in order to minimize the performance hit.
    - Enabling this option will cause additional MSI On-Screen Display Server process to be automatically started. The server provides On-Screen Display rendering services to 3D applications and it cannot be unloaded until you disable On-Screen Display output for all graphs.
    - You may hold <Shift> button pressed on your keyboard while changing this option to change it synchronically for all graphs.
    - You may disable user interface tooltips via <User interface> tab in advanced properties.


    Also, OSD server itself context help tells you wich options (such as OSD shadow rendering) add even more performance hit.
    And there is no need to clone the same question in multiple threads. It won't make them to be answered faster, quite opposite it works in reverse direction because I treat users cloning 100% identical questions in many threads as potential troublemakers, especially if the question fits into RTFM category.

    I am aware of this. but I had not intended that it would be a such huge amount of fps.

    I posted twice because I recognized that it was the wrong thread, at first post - sorry ;D

    There are no thermal sensors there. And even if there we, they would be added to RT only.

    Unwinder, you should look into the FAN profile graph HEAVILY micro stuttering, in my experience Crossfire

    No, you should use search and peek into fan speed update period option context help. It is HEAVILY boring to waste work time on discussing the same things multiplew times.

    Why does AB show a different 3d voltage than bios, GF100 ?

    For instance my bios shows 1.0v perf 3d, AB shows 1.062v while running in perf 3d.
    Is this a nibitor reading error?

    Try to use search. There is NO explicit 3D voltage defined in GTX 400 series VGA BIOS. Each GPU uses its own voltage defined by fuses during manufacturing.

    Suggestion: CPU usage

    With the reporting features and OSD, please add support for showing CPU usage - either as an overall reading (0-100%) or a per-core reading (similar to how we get usage per GPU)


    It'd be very handy for determining if a system is CPU or GPU bottlenecked in a particular game, if this is implemented.

    hello! i hope to help in the development of MSI Afterburner cause is a great OC utility.

    sometimes i have issues when a 3d program (furmark, bad company 2,NFS Shift) starts. it seems that the vga (msi 5850), oced with afterburner, doesnt increase the overvolt im using (1,225v) to run the oc (950c/1200m). BTW the OC ran for 1 hour without any problems.

    Hello everyone, this is my first post. I decided to register to decribe the following bug that exists in MSI AfterBurner 1.5.0.

    The Crossfire 2d/3d mechanism does not work as it should to. 3d clocks apply fine, but when it switches to 2d mode only 1 card downclocks to the desired powerplay clocks and the other one stays at default 3d clocks of ccc.

    I found out that this is not a problem with rivatuner server which does the profile switching but with the profile mechanism itself in AfterBurner. Thats because if i manually apply my 3d profile by a keyboard shortcut and then apply my 2d profile it does the same. It takes to apply 2d profile twice via keyboard shortcut to make both cards downclock to powersaving clocks. Which card will be downclocked correctly has to do with which one is selected in AfterBurner window (if then i select the other one it downclocks too).

    PS: I was fine with just one card:bang:

    I probably found a new problem with MSI Afterburner concerning customized fan profiles.

    I found that one user (sideeffect) reported fan profiles getting unticked. My problem is probably not related but the behaviour of this one is already quite close.

    In my specific case fan speed (Asus Radeon 5870) sometimes spins up to 50% after booting windows. I have configured a customized fan profile and right after booting i have to untick & tick the "user define" button once (main MSI Afterburner screen) for it to work.
    The weird part: this can't be reproduced all the time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. As a result finding out what causes this could indeed be a problem.
    I have used Afterburner 1.5.1 as well as the latest beta.

    Apparently this has also been described here:
