Possible ideas for future Afterburner functionality upgrades

Live Commentary / Record game audio + Microphone

I can't say how badly I want MSI Afterburner to have this feature. It works so well for recording the video without any hit on my system, that I am using Audacity to record mic audio separate from the video recording and then merging them later in editing, which is a pain.

This is a feature request, not a help/support request. I know there is Fraps, Bandicam, and several others, but I want to use MSI Afterburner, not because it's free, but because it captures better video without my performance taking a hit.

 

Yea I love Afterburner so much. I have been using it for I think 3-4 years now and its one of those <5 programs I always install.

I also have 2 feature requests:

I would like the ability to manipulate how the on monitor text looks like in greater detail. Ie what text and on which line #. Also the font size, which I cant choose atm.

The second thing is I would like to not be notified when Afterburner has looked for an update without finding anything. This if there is no error ofc.

Edit: the > was wrong, Keyboardfaeries are apparently rampaging this year!

 

I would like to have a way to re-order how the sensors are displayed on the OSD.

 

OSD sensor reorder and rename support please. :thumbup:

 

You could add support to the P states for the 2d and voltage

 

The ability to use custom video capture codecs.

This is the -ONLY- thing that prevents me from using MSI Afterburner and makes me use DXtory.

Afterburners capture quality is outright crap, using x264 codec I can capture video that's 100x the quality with far less then half the space MSI Afterburner video codec takes on its lowest quality setting.

Seriously, why can't we do this? Is it a programming hurdle etc? MPEG/MJPG capture is crap, its the only, repeat, only thing that holds me back from giving MSI afterburner the seal of approval

I mean, yeah, you compare MSI afterburner to FRAPS, this craps all over it, you compare MSI afterburner to DXtory and using x264 codec, DXtory is so far and above above it its scary.

EDIT: Why do I want custom codecs? I do video playthroughs for Youtube etc, and seriously, its a -NO BRAINER- when I need to capture two hours of footage and FRAPS/MSI Afterburner I need 600gigs+ to capture a hour of footage, or DXtory for the exact same quality I can capture with less then 40 gigs.

That and processing x264 is 4x faster then using FRAPS/MPEG encoded files when I'm encoding the video files.

 

I have read in this Thread that Afterburner now supports OSD video memory for ATI/AMD cards.
I have Club3D HD5770 OC, but i cannot find in option for video memory in settings of Afterburner.

What´s the reason for that? Do I need a plugin or something like that?

Many thanks for help!

The features i want to see in evga precicion is:
the function to increase text size of OSD items
Avi in filetype of the recorded files (mjpeg aint supported by sony vegas)

 

Hello people.

Would it be to spoiled to ask a generous soul with "skining" skill to modify just only the theme color of the "Default MSI Afterburner Skin"? I would like too much to have it in blue as it was in older versions.

Kind Regards and thanks in advance!

 

Crossfire switching and fan speed detection

First off thanks for your work over the years. I've been using RivaTuner, D3DOverrider and Afterburner for as long as I can remember.

One thing that bothers me is having to restart Afterburner every time I switch back and forth from crossfire due to the fan speeds being lost. Is there a way you can have AB detect when someone has switched to crossfire and back and have it re-detect it so it can apply the corresponding fan speeds?

If I don't remember to restart AB when I've turned crossfire on the game I'm playing will eventually freeze up because the video cards are overheating; That can't be a good thing.

EDIT: I should mention that I have 2 x 30" monitors which I haven't been able to run off of one card. However I just realized that, since I got Dell to send me a display port cable, that I can run both monitors off of one card now and overcome this problem. But I seem to be noticing higher idle temps on GPU1... so I'm still sticking by my request.

 

please make afterburner support voltage adjustment in new AMD video cards that come with the "boost" mood feature , sapphire trixx add support for them in it's latest build v 4.0.4b , please consider thanks !

 

I use your hardware monitor all of the time , it is the best utility I have seen .
the framerate graph helped me tweek my game settings, the framerate limiter keeps my laptop cooler, the GPU clock lets me Know if another program is lowering my clock speeds (youtube with hardware acceleration enabled, lowered my clock to 400 MHZ well opened)
I love your utility , I must admit that I am also using Saphire Trix because they allow me higher overclocks.
I would love to see a second hardware monitor graph that includes individual cpu core temps, turbo mhz , system memory usage , I would use this all of the time
a second graph is needed because I dont like the monitor to have more than 5 items on it at a time even at full screen

 

64bit support would be great.

 

+1. 64bit support would be great.

 

I use the detachable docking hardware monitor on my second screen. I keep an eye on mainly FPS, GPU usage temps and fan speed, as I have an SLI setup that uses a lot of space. Even with a second screen I run out of space when other applications are running and using numbers instead in the taskbar means nothing to me.

My proposal is to allow the user to be able overlay data. For instance I have two GPUs. I would like to lump the trace for Temp, Fan Speed and Usage all on the same graph. If each line is a different colour I believe that I would know at a glance which is which. The line does not have to be a constant colour either. It could run hot at the trace end and trail off cool (like a heartbeat monitor) on an aeroglass background.

I reckon this would look the shizzle and take up much less space but still provide useful information at a glance.

 

I would like to see support for Windows 8.

Overclocking seems to work but recording videos and making screenshots don't. EA Origin and Battlefield 1942 don't work but the new Need for Speed: Most Wanted does.

When you start Origin while MSI Afterburner is started it crashs. The solution is disabling the application detection of OSD Server, so the problem seems to be in the OSD Server.

What's working:
- Overclocking
- NFS: MW (2012)

What's broken:
- Battlefield 1942
- EA Origin
- OSD Server (overlay, recording videos, making screenshots)

 

Applay settings after sleep

Apply settings after S3 sleep mode or Hibernation automatically!
Otherwise, after awakening from sleep mode, if I forget to apply my settings with modified voltage manually, my video card crashes.
