MSI Afterburner 4.2.0 Available for Download

@Unwinder
see bug report thread

 

Any news?

Thanx

 

Hey Unwinder-

Picked up a GTX 950 for a HTPC and Afterburner doesn't detect the voltage monitoring or controls for this card at all.

It works fine with EVGA Precision and Nvidia Inspector, but not in Afterburner. I'd really prefer to use Afterburner.


I'd be happy to give you any debugging info to make voltage control work on this GTX950 card.


Hope this can be fixed, been using Afterburner for years... would much prefer that to EVGA's crappy software.

 

Hey, Unwinder, any new info on when the new version is gonna be available?

Cheers.

 

What's wrong with this version?

 

Hmm.. Unofficial overclocking mode without PowerPlay support doesn't work for fury cards?

 

Oh, OK. Sorry, not having Fury boards I never would have noticed. This version is working great for me. No complaints here.

 

Firstly thanks for MSI AB Unwinder .

Next a question, is there a reason why HBM voltage control is not implemented in MSI AB?

 

There isn't anyway to overvolt memory via software on AMD or Nvidia. For that you need to do hardware mods. Usually it's hardly worth the trouble either, I'd just see how far you can overclock on the stock memory voltage.


Also I don't think there is a way to do it at all for HBM memory. I've seen some people have managed to get up to 600Mhz clock on the Fury cards. But beyond that I doubt you can o/c higher.

I made no such inference to I2C in my question , so you are not repeating anything IMO .

I made no claim you or W1z can not make/use i2c scanner .

I'm assuming the scan for I2C via MSI AB takes so long is due to SMC / I2C bus being monitored / kept busy.

My question is in relation to if you can implement through SMC, as you have posted information in this thread on SMC messaging via MSI AB CLI. Which I would assume is how MSI AB do GPU core voltage offset via slider, so I'd think a HBM voltage via a slider could be done?

I respect you for your great software which I use daily for monitoring , I may use it to test an OC "on the fly" but I do all OC through ROM mod for 24/7 use.

So I repeat is there a reason HBM voltage control is not implemented? like say:-

i) it's gen 1 HBM and can't take voltage meddling

ii) manufacturer/board partners don't want users to have access

You are party to more information than the average member, so was after enlightenment , I'm a mere padwan where as you are a master .

 

Thank you , so I'm guessing when I change VDDCI via PowerPlay in ROM it will apply? (waiting on a result where someone has DMM to confirm, I lack the ability :O ).

I thought that was the case as you need to use extend official overclocking limits to apply HBM RAM frequency increase through MSI AB. Anyhow I set via PowerPlay in ROM and match OverDrive RAM limit to set MCLK.

I don't, it was a mere question . It seems as if I've upset you, which was no intention of mine, so please accept my apologies with great sincerity.

OK, .

No I won't being doing that , I'll be using ROM if I require MVDDC change.

Anyhow thank you for your time and explanation, I appreciate it greatly .

There is only 1 other question I have, which I don't need the answer to really, but I will leave it for another day .

 

Unwinder,

I hate being an old grumpy man and asking the same question for the second time but seeing as you seem to have "come back" to forums is there any ETA on the updated AB version that would support powerplay disabled mode for Fiji cards.According to you it was supposed to be released in Jan.

Cheers

 

I like the motto of "when it done" which is how it should be for everything, then again i dont see need for new version.

 

time to switch to PX
