7900XT Power usage not visible?

Will something like community donation help...? Patreon, something like that I guess. I mean - is it an option ?

 

Thats a fair comment, but there are ways to work around issues like this.

 

Dude needs to get the frack out of the country i mean what is he even still doing in Russia?

He has the skills to work anywhere else in the world and have a better life not to mention chances are he could be in the Meat Grinder soon if he is really unlucky.

 

If they do want to keep the project alive, they could move the development to do a different geo like many companies have been forced to do. That is, if they own the IP rather than you.

If you own the IP, an option might be to open source it. Open source licenses are various, you could make it GPL if you want to ensure the code isn't used for commercial purposes.

 

Honestly they cannot do much about it, since they would rather chose to follow legal rules.

This clearly isn't the devs fault, but since he lives in Russia, he cannot do more, and it's definetly not Nvidia/MSI-s fault. Either Russia will stop killing innocent people (not likely) or OP moves away from Russia (which definetly isn't an easy task).

He does what he can do, and we should respect his decision.

 

I would pay to support MSI after burner in a second. I have been using it snice the gtx 480 and couldn't go on without it.

Incase its not posted

Update from MSI regarding this: "Our product marketing & accounting team are dealing with this problem now. Due to the war, our payment couldn't transfer to the author's bank account successfully. We are still keeping in touch with him and figuring out how to solve this"

 

In Russia, Swift transactions still go through if you have an account with Raiffeisenbank or Tinkoff, which are not sanctioned at this time.

That said, the Patreon and similar suggestions are no longer viable, as the payout options (PayPal and Payoneer) are no longer available to those in Russia.

 

Some subscription services still work in Russia, such as Boosty. But they take a high commission, both for input (up to 10%) and for withdrawal (depending on the withdrawal method).

 

Sounds like msi is still doing business in Russia.

 

do you have a gofundme or patreon or any other way to directly pay you? what about moving MSI afterburner to subscription model, i would pay for a subscription.

also do you want unrestricted 24/7 access to a computer with an rx 7900 with teamviewer? because i can set up something like that if you need that to continue developing

 

Unwinder, just want to say we support you no matter the circumstances. Have used your software my whole life and it ment a whole lot. Take the time you need and if you need to let Afterburner go for the time being, so be it. Just so you know, your craft and skill will not be gone. Yes Afterburner will not be updated for a while, but I'd rather have you doing the right thing to get your stuff straight than putting yourself in oblivion.

 

Been using Afterburner for years. I've always prefered it over any other overclocking software. I totally understand the reasons why, but this would be a huge loss to the community if it comes to pass.

 

I love MSI Afterburner & RTSS and I would never want to part with it. Tried GPU Tweak but it's not the same thing.

So a huge thanks to Unwinder for all your work so far.

Let them yell 'it's ugly!'
But we like it
Though it's not a beauty
And trusts some random bastards

 

Hoping yourself and MSI can get things worked out. It's for the best interest for everyone I'd like to think.
Super big thank you for all the hard work and time you have invested in Rivatuner and Afterburner over all these years! That is a lot of love and dedication. No other program even comes close. Your post say's a lot about what a stand up human being you are

 

Steam Store doesn't work in Russia. They've been having payment issues since January 2020, when most payment systems stopped working. And last, banking cards, stopped working last year. Valve do not sell in Russia and do not work with developers. Hence why Atomic Heart left Steam for CIS in favor of VK Games.

"but I was born here and 4 generations of my family were born and lived in this place.
...
but it is my birthplace, home and I love it. My grand and grand gradparents are buried here, my aged relatives live here and I simply cannot allow myself to leave them and escape. It is not a question of political preferences; it is a question of loving your home and your family."

Nice words, I completely agree, same for me here.

In any case if you think Italy, drop a notice Alainch 2 is on g mail
