    is there a plan to add HEVC/H.265 encoder for video capture?
    for both AMD and Nvidia recent cards support them now, no?

    No plans, there are more important tasks in the list, sorry.

    Can you please explaing a bit more?

    All I can see in the Release notes is either when using an AMD card, or about the lock button.

    I got a Nvidia 1080ti, and my OC does not apply at startup, even tried delaying MSI AB from starting by 20 seconds.

    On Startup:

    After Clicking Save 1 (only Save) and hitting apply:

    Edit:

    Delaying the startup by 35 seconds seems to have fixed it, i'm Guessing that CAM Software interfered with it, cant find a way to remove the OC tab in that program either.

    So i found same issue with FFMpeg encoding NVENC and not using NV12 conversion. NVENC dont support YV12 properly and cause this chroma glitches. It need to be converted to NV12 to reproduce chroma correctly. Maybe this is the case with AB NVENC/QS chroma glitches?

    I have an issue when using keyboard shortcuts. I have assigned a number of profiles to keyboard shortcuts. What I want to do is assign each profile keyboard shortcut combo to my G.Skill keyboard macros. The problem is is that I cannot get AB to react to the assigned keyboard macros. They are recorded correctly but AB ignores them. In fact, AB is slow actually responding to keyboard shortcuts. For instance if I hit ctrl-shift-f quickly to enable a profile AB ignores it. If I hold down ctrl-shift for a moment and THEN while holding those keys hit 'f' AB then applies the profile.

    Is there a way to trigger a profile from a command line using the AB exe? I think doing so would be better as Windows could throw it to a keyboard shortcut that runs a batch file instead.

    Basically I am unable to assign a keyboard shortcut to a profile via a macro because AB is too slow to pickup on a keyboard shortcut having been applied.

    I initially thought it was to do with Windows ApplicationFramehost bug (causes slow reaction of Windows keyboard shortcuts) but I killed that process with similar results.

    Any idea how to get this to work correctly?

    Open the file named "SaveMedia.cfg" in the same foler where RTSS.exe is located and in the section named [NV12] change the value of Quality from 0 to 1.

    This seems to output proper NV12 instead of yuv420p. But in my limited testing with this setting enabled, I can't capture OpenGL games, only DX9 and DX11 ones. Just Cause 2 which is DX10, doesn't record video either.

    NVENC dont even record anything with NV12=1 and cause massive lag pushing encoder server to 100% CPU load. Quicksync records but output same chroma error.

    I tried DX11 game only. Btw i'm using Beta AB+RTSS.

    AMD's new driver 17.7.2 doesn't seem to play well with AB.
    The gpu/memory clocks are no longer adjustable in AB. Core Voltage and Fan Speed is still adjustable. Hoping that my saved profiles actually work. They are still show up but I can't tell what the OC is because it stays at 300/500 MHz
    However:
    Power Limit
    Temp Limit (the red link is unattached)
    Core Clock
    Memory Clock
    are all grayed out and are not adjustable.

    It does read Crimson Relive 17.7.2 so its reading the correct driver version.
    I uninstalled AB then uninstalled the previous drivers. Because I read posts of others having the exact same problem. But apparently this method doesn't fix it either, shurg.

    Edit:
    Here is another poster having the same problem.

    The Wattman settings reset with that driver so while I can't say for sure perhaps it's a new or updated version and thus these new compatibility issues though it's possible the unofficial mode in Afterburner will still work if you weren't using that already. :)
    (Think you want to ensure Wattman is in default state as to avoid potential conflicts if you do use it, don't want multiple software to try and control the GPU after all let alone sensitive clock and power changes.)

    EDIT: Was it called unofficial or extended? I forgot.

    EDIT: No dice with extended mode it seems.

    Might end up having to be AMD needing to fix the driver on their end and not the AB software too so it could take some time similar to the previous driver update that had something like "compatibility with third party overclocking software." in it's release notes meaning overclocking via Afterburner.

    With 17.7.2 AMD just ruined their next "new" ADL overclocking API, which they introduced with the very first version of Wattman. So any tool based on it like AB or WattTool stops working again. ADL2_OverdriveN_Capabilities_Get and ADL2_OverdriveN_SystemClocks_Get are no longer working at all, they are replaced with
    ADL2_OverdriveN_CapabilitiesX2_Get and ADL2_OverdriveN_SystemClocksX2_Get. Updating third party tools could make it working, but... AMD still provides SDK just for old and currently killed overclocking API. I'm wondering again, if "backward compatibility" terms mean anything for AMD deverlopers? :)

    Seems a bit hasty of them to just rename or perhaps more accurately replace those existing functions (Throwing existing compatibility out entirely in the process.) though Wattman going by the 17.7.2 release notes ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-art...mson-ReLive-Edition-17.7.2-Release-Notes.aspx ) does introduce memory underclocking and power state controls so some kind of change for this to work was needed.

    Unfortunate for how it breaks existing utilities though (Again.) and with whatever changes AMD has done then well without a SDK update it might not be safe or at least not easy to update to match these changes and regain compatibility again.

    Guessing you just got a lot more work thanks to these drivers, right on top of all the work for 4.4.0 for Afterburner and Rivatuner 7.0.0 at that. (The newly released version with Ryzen CPU support for example.)


    And people not knowing whether it's the drivers or the software at fault, that confusion is going to be no fun at all I'd imagine.

    Well hopefully AMD will provide some new tools then or well I don't know but I can imagine you'd have better things to do than trying to reverse these changes yourself and sort compatibility out that way.


    EDIT: Not that I have much knowledge on this but I guess it comes down to what these two "X2" replacements have actually changed, could mean it's a smoother update or at worst it could require more work ensuring nothing else breaks. (Which is where some documentation or a up to date SDK would help from AMD's side.)

    Regardless there's probably more productive things to do for a weekend than having to reverse or debug some new display driver coming out with little prior warning on these changes.


    EDIT: Oh yeah it wouldn't just break Afterburner 4.4.0 beta would it, would also have to be a real pain and break the earlier (non-beta.) versions too at that.

    Is that also what causes the 16% GPU usage/100% memory controller bug? Really hoping this gets fixed, seems to be an AMD issue for sure since even GPU-Z is affected.

    To add to your list, with 17.7.2 the ADL_Overdrive5_FanSpeed_Get call causes stuttering and mouse lagging on some systems.
    Bug submitted to AMD...

    That XXX is a bitmask validating the rest fields of each performance level.
