MSI Afterburner .NET Class Library

Unwinder, can you assist on this one? I don't think changing it on the MACM_SHARED_MEMORY_GPU_ENTRY is a good idea, as this is flags showing the capabilities of the card and the user should not have access to the other flags. However, I could create a helper method on that class. But I would think it could be set in MACM_SHARED_MEMORY_HEADER. However, I'm unable to set it. Is this flag read only? Meaning when I send the flush command, is this not being considered for changes? Is it currently possible for me to control the syncing/linking?

 

Indeed, I'm quite behind on updating this to match additions in Afterburner. I'll take a look and update as required.

 

I can't reproduce. Here is my GPU0 (GTX 550 Ti):

Code:

I'll try to dig in a bit further to see if I can find anything.

 

As usual, I think you are correct. And yes, looks like you have that in the demo. I think my issue was I am setting it in the .NET class, but in my shared memory helper I am doing selective updates (flush & init only) and not pushing other properties of the object back. I'll give it a shot, but should be able to get this going. Thanks again!

 

Makes perfect sense! Thank you for saving me some running around!

 

hello stangowner, its possible to load previously saved profile in Afterburner ?

 

No, I don't believe this can be done. You'd have to save and reload profiles made with this library, not the ones in afterburner itself. See the control memory example.

 

Hi stangowner
Im using your librarry for read properies and wrote my own for commit, and everything is working.
ControlMemoryHeader.Flags and ControlMemoryHeader.MasterGpu are not read only for MSIAfterBurner.

If ControlMemoryHeader.Flags & MACM_SHARED_MEMORY_FLAG.SYNC then all settings from master gpu will be aplied for simmilar GPUs else every gpu has own settings, defined in GpuEntry.

 

Yes, noted. I'm in the process of making several updates, including this one. I should have a new version soon.

 

thank you

Strange behavior with v1.1.1 dll
When creating a new object or using ReloadAll() method on the HardwareMonitor class, it dumps all the values to screen, and it cant be piped or hidden...

sample code:

Code:

Add-Type -Path .\MSIAfterburner.NET.dll
$abMonitor = New-Object MSI.Afterburner.HardwareMonitor
$abMonitor.ReloadAll()

v1.1.0 didn't have this issue

 

Is this library still being maintained? If not, is the source code maybe available somewhere?

 

Hi All,
This is a great bit of code and i have been using it to read the status of my RTX3070.
I've spent ages trying to macm.CommitChanges() but I keep on getting an error

Exception thrown: 'System.AccessViolationException' in MSIAfterburner.NET.dll
An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in MSIAfterburner.NET.dll
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

I'm currently using Afterburner v4.6.3
I have stripped the example code back now to just be read the macm.GpuEntries and just spit them back to the GPU but no matter what I try i keep getting the same error.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many Thanks

Andy

 

another application has loaded an older version of the system assemblies in global memory, the msi .net dll is a victim of it.

 

Hi I really appreciate your help. Could you explain what i need to do to fix it?
I have now split to code down to commit changes to each GPU in turn to locate the problem.
I can macm.CommitChanges() to GPU 0 and GPU 1 without issue, but it fails on GPU 2 and GPU 3. eg macm.CommitChanges(2), macm.CommitChanges(3).

Exception thrown: 'System.AccessViolationException' in MSIAfterburner.NET.dll
An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in MSIAfterburner.NET.dll
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

I have tried targeting the VB frame work to 3.5 and this give me the error instead of crashing and i have built the App for x86.

I'm using Afterburner v4.6.3, do i need an older version or something else?

Any other suggestions?

Many Thanks

Andy

 

Ok, so whats happening (though i don't know .net enough to give you a fix) is that the first GPU is loading the namespace into global instead of shared memory and you can only load a single instance of a global namespace at a time.

Refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41552921/global-memory-access and you might see a fix yourself.

 

Thank you for your feedback.
I've spent several hours looking into the shared memory and not global but to no avail. It looks like i need to load the GPU into to a memory file and then read it in and out of there. I can't see where the GPU info gets loaded to redirect it.

All I need my program to do is to change the figures below for a number of GPUs, currently 4 off.

macm.GpuEntries(0).PowerLimitCur = 52
macm.GpuEntries(0).CoreClockBoostCur = -50000
macm.GpuEntries(0).MemoryClockBoostCur = 200000
macm.GpuEntries(0).ThermalLimitCur = 65
macm.CommitChanges(0)

macm.GpuEntries(1).PowerLimitCur = 42
macm.GpuEntries(1).CoreClockBoostCur = -100000
macm.GpuEntries(1).MemoryClockBoostCur = 100000
macm.GpuEntries(1).ThermalLimitCur = 65
macm.CommitChanges(1)
etc....
Is there anyway I can do this simply?
From the mahm (Hardware Monitor) i have the GPU IDs, can i just sent the details direct?

if there is a workaround in another language then I can convert over the that if its easier, or convert from another language back to VB.net.

Thanks

Andy

 

ThanksHello, I have a problem installing version 4. After installation, MSIAfterburner.NET.dll appears in the installation folder. What should I do? How do I connect to the msi afterburner .net class. In version 4
Thanks
