[Changelog for Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6]
- Added voltage control for one more MSI N240GT Low Profile graphics card version
- Added initial NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 series graphics cards support
- Changed marketing name for MSI R5670-PD512 in hardware database
- Core clock is now used as primary overclocking domain instead of shader clock on GeForce GTX 400
- Unlocked memory downclocking ability on GeForce GTX 400 series
- Default core voltages for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series cards are no longer hardcoded into the database. Now MSI Afterburner uses new NVIDIA driver API to read variable default fused voltages on GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards. Please take a note that new API reqires updated release 256 drivers, which are not available to public yet. MSI Afterburner will not affect core voltage at all when restoring defaults under curretnly available drivers
- Upper limit for core voltage slider on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards has been upped to 1213mV. Please take a note that regular GTX 400 cards will not allow you to go beyond the reference voltage limits (1087mV for GTX 470 and 1138mV for GTX 480) until unlocked BIOS is flashed
- Fixed <Link> button state saving/restoring issue on old NVIDIA cards caused
by introducing Fermi family support
- MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 3.7.1. New server improves On-Screen Display 3D rendering mode compatibility with Source engine based games and Star Trek Online and contains updated profiles list

[Changelog for Kombustor 1.08]
- New: added the GPU voltage in the GPU monitoring zone.
- Change: now GPUs indexing follows the same indexing scheme than Afterburner.
- Change: added name of the graphics card in temperature graphs.
- Change: removed the auto-start of Afterburner.
- Bugfix: the benchmarking params group was still grayed.
- Minor bugfixes and changes.

this is really great news for those with 470/480 with unlocked bios

all so nice bit of info that the 465 card will be out by

including new GeForce GTX 465 that is going to launch next week.(5/31)

this will sound stupid but do i need to do anything special to use this tool with a crossfire setup? if i raise the volts or speed on my 5870s does it do it for both cards or only 1?

not 100%sure there best thing to do ask here

You need to mark "Synchronize settings for similar graphics processors" under the settings tab. After that the clocks and fan speed will be applied to both cards. The fan on the second card wil start to spin with the selected percentage when you run a application.

Wow MSI. Way to break NDA.

Wow MSI. Way to break NDA.

very nice to see msi update afterburner this much...
i still cant believe they dont lock out other vga makers, really nice of them and shows they want to support the community!

Wow MSI. Way to break NDA.

*yawn* Out of all this you comment on the fact that they announced when a GPU will be launched? I find it more interesting that they have a custom BIOS that circumvents NVIDIA's choke on voltages

[saaya]

dont you think all nvidia partners have that custom bios?
they just dont release it for fear of RMAs i think...
most people dont know that software voltage control was actually already available for geforce 6 cards...
its just that no partner decided to release it and enable support for it until i think geforce 8? or was it 9?
