MSI AB / RTSS development news thread

No problem. PLLClockMonitoring in .cfg is your target.

 

This sensor is available in interal NV software available to manufacturers since day 1. But NV prefer to avoid exposing it to end users, so answer is no.

 

Use seach please and learn how GPU boost works. No need to bring it in this thread PLEASE, it is complete offtopic and it was discussed MANY times.

 

Slightly updated MSI Afterburner and RTSS betas (changes are mentioned in this post) are available for download:

RTSS 7.3.0 Beta 10 Build 24313:

MSI Afterburner 4.6.3 Beta 5 Build 16047 (includes RTSS 7.3.0 Beta 10 Build 24313):
https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/msi-afterburner-beta-download.html

These are early dev beta builds you can try, not intended for the public.

 

Internal = not intended to be available in public tools. It is and was available to any NV GPU manufacturer in NV developer tools, but making it available to end users (read it as noobs) did nothing but generated scary flows of news about "overheating" and "hardware flaws" from all sides.

 

We were not planning to make RTSS 7.3.0 beta 10 and MSI AB 4.6.3 beta 5 available to everyone, but they are anyway walking in the net now with help of other sites who put links to this thread in news. So we'll move them to Guru3D download pages and news.
And I'll repeat our request to other webmasters and newsmakers, monitoring this thread: PLEASE don't distribute the links to development betas (which are normally posted in this thread only) in news, if you don't see the same build hosted in downloads section here, at Guru3D. Doing so causes developmend builds to be downloaded massively, we normally put them to lower bandwidth servers and don't want development builds to be available to every singe user on the net. Thanks for understanding.

 

A few words about nearest development plans. Navi21 support was the last thing that delayed official launch of MSI AB 4.6.3 and RTSS 7.3.0. Sadly it took really long for MSI to provide me 6800XT sample this round due to insane GPU shortages, it arrived here just a couple weeks ago. But now all planned functionality is inside MSI AB, so we can expect final release of both MSI AB 4.6.3 and RTSS 7.3.0 really soon. Probably we'll wait a couple more weeks to collect possible bugs, fix them if any then release current betas as official versions. Stay tuned!

 

Changes list between the builds is available just a few posts above.

 

Not harmful for end users, but definitively harmful for GPU vendor. I'd easily add it to my own software like RTSS, which is not owned by MSI, but adding it to AB is a no go.

 

You’re rather new to GPU monitoring underground and didn’t follow the story since the beginning. AMD were in exactly the same boat and initially didn’t expose GPU hotspot sensor interface and yes, they also _asked_ the first software vendors who localized and accessed the sensor via direct SMU messages to -_avoid_ displaying it in software to avoid confusing/scaring users. The only reason why it recently became visible to ADL is AMD’s own fan curve control firmware implementation: it is driven by hotspot temperature rather than edge temperature so it was absolutely necessary to display linked temperature when they added fan curve GUI.
