MSI Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 17(2013-11-14)

It would be nice if you could stop that TB related offtopic in this thread please.

Back to subject:

RTSS 6.0.0 beta 1 has been submitted to MSI, if we're satisfied with internal testing results we'll make this build public soon.

 

Full changes list for RTSS 6.0.0 beta 1 includes:

• Added 64-bit applications support service. The service is optional and can be disabled in compatibility properties of RivaTuner Statistics Server if necessary. Please take a note that 64-bit applications support service development is exclusively sponsored by MSI, so due to licensing 64-bit On-Screen Display functionality is exclusively available in MSI Afterburner client application only. Please refer to “Known issues” section to see the list of additional 64-bit functionality related limitations
• Improved dedicated encoder server service:
o Now the service is optional and can be disabled in compatibility properties of RivaTuner Statistics Server if necessary
o Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the encoder server service are available and you can select preferred one in compatibility properties of RivaTuner Statistics Server
o The service is no longer specific to external encoding plugins. Now dedicated encoding server can be used in any encoding scenario including but not limited to built-in encoding modes (uncompressed, MJPG and RTV1) or VFW encoding mode
o Dedicated encoder server usage seriously extends the possibilities of prerecording to RAM due to performing encoding in separate address space. Now you can use up to 2GB of RAM for prerecord buffer when using 32-bit encoder server and >2GB of RAM for prerecord buffer when using 64-bit encoder server
• Improved Intel QuickSync H.264 encoder plugin:
o Dedicated encoder service usage option has been removed from the plugin GUI, now it is available as independent option directly in video capture client application GUI
• Added raster 3D On-Screen Display rendering mode support for DirectX 11.2 applications
• Fixed issue causing wrong legacy index to be written to AVI files when recording multiple videos during single prerecording session
• Added French localization
• Updated profiles list

 

For 32-bit encoder server it is 2GB or less.

And it will be really bad idea. 32-bit encoder server is strongly recommended (and selected by default) as a lot of third party VFW codecs are 32-bit only.

There was never file size limit, it is not ShadowPlay. And prerecord buffer size is only limited by physical commit size limit.

 

It is not a limit to prevent crash. It is physical limit of native 32-bit application architeture without large address aware extensions.

There is no any 1GB left. 2GB for everything including encoder library caches and so on. So UP TO 2GB.

The system may act unpredictably when running out of RAM, that's not limited to server.

 

It means that OSD functionality in 64-bit applications will work if you use RTSS with MSI AB but will not work with EVGA Precision or any other tool I develop for other vendors besides MSI.
