MSI Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 1 Download: Overclocking für GeForce GTX 480 und 470

Auf der MSI Homepage des MSI Overclocking Tools Afterburner unter (http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/) hat es die neue Version zwar noch nicht geschafft, aber im Guru3d Forum findet sich bereits ein Download Link zur neusten Version.

Der Download des neuen MSI Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 1 liegt auf dem MSI Server und wartet darauf getestet zu werden.

Das Changelog ist recht umfassend. Neben der Unterstützung von GeForce GTX 480 und GTX 470 gibt es noch umfangreiche weitere Neuerungen.

Change-Log:

• Added initial NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards support
• Added basic screen capture support by means of built-in screen capture engine of MSI On-Screen Display server. Now it is possible to assign the hotkey for capturing screenshots in BMP, PNG or JPG formats in DirectX applications and in BMP format on desktop or in OpenGL applications
• Added hardware monitoring history logging support. Now MSI Afterburner is able to save history in native RivaTuner Hardware Monitoring Log file format. The log files captured with MSI Afterburner can be viewed in any text editor like Notepad or in graphics form in RivaTuner's HML file viewer (RivaTuner must be installed for viewing log files in graphics form)
• Added new safety option allowing forcring constant voltage on some cards with voltage regulators supporting programmable dynamic voltage management (e.g. VT1165 or uP6266). New safety option may improve stability on some systems as well as provide power state independent voltage control on the systems with non-standard voltage control implementation
• MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 3.7.0. New server gives you a lot of improvements including:
  - Stealth mode automatic disabling feature. Now the server is able to disable stealth mode automatically if incompatible application like FRAPS is active.
  - You no longer need to disable stealth mode manually if you need to run the server simultaneously with FRAPS, but keep in mind that stealth technologies will not be active in this case
  - DirectX11 On-Screen Display and screen capture support
  - Screen capture support for DirectX10 and DirectX11 applications using multisampled antialiasing or non-standard frame buffer formats (e.g. sRGB)
  - Optional On-Screen Display 3D rendering mode. New mode uses 3D accelerated DirectX functions to emulate previously used 2D framebuffer access function and render 2D text. New rendering mode provides On-Screen Display support in DirectX10 and DirectX11 applications using multisampled antialiasing and can also drastically reduce OSD related performance hit on the systems with badly optimized 2D acceleration in display drivers
  - Now screenshot file extension is forcibly set to BMP if JPG or PNG screen capture is requested on desktop or in OpenGL application
  - Simplified On-Screen Display coordinate space settings. Rarely used desktop and window coordinate space modes have been merged into single framebuffer coordinate space mode
• Now the server automatically selects framebuffer coordinate space instead of viewport coordinate space when viewport is not accessible (e.g. if pure Direct3D8 device is in use)
• Improved application notification scheme during runtime profiles adjustment. Now runtime changes in OSD application profiles (e.g. OSD zoom ratio change on the fly) are reflected in affected application almost immedaitely instead of approximately 1 second delay in the previos versions
• Reduced runtime skin engine memory footprint due to dynamic skin storage unloading
• Updated profiles list
• Now MSI Afterburner distributive includes original 128x128 PNG application logo (stored in .Graphics folder) for dockbar applications like RocketDock or ObjectDock
• It is no longer necessary to close the application to save monitoring window attachment state
• Added Ukrainian localization
