Afterburner v.1.2.0 (2009-10-12)

[sxs112]

- Add voltage adjustment of ATI Radeon HD 5870 and 5850
- Added NVIDIA G 210 and GT 240 series graphics cards support
- Added voltage control for custom design MSI N220GT and N240GT series graphics cards with uP6262 voltage regulators
- Added intitial AMD RADEON HD 5750 and AMD RADEON HD 5770 series graphics cards support
- Added Logitech keyboards LCD displays support. Now it is possible to display hardware monitor data in Logitech keyboards LCD
- Extended I2C address scanning range for uP6208 voltage regulators to allow supporting voltage control on non-MSI custom design graphics cards equipped with uP6208
- Fixed on-board memory size detection for AMD RADEON HD 5000 series graphics cards
- Now option also affects voltage control
- Fixed database entry for AMD RADEON HD 4890 series graphics cards. Afterburner no longer adjusts 2D voltage instead of 3D voltage on AMD RADEON HD 4890
- Fixed database entry for AMD RADEON HD 5850 series graphics cards. Afterburner no longer adjusts UVD voltage instead of 3D voltage on AMD RADEON HD 5850
- Automatic profiles manager is now restarted after resuming from suspended mode
- Revised VRM access synchronization protocol for safer simultaneous VRM polling by multiple software products at the same time
- Added setting to the context menu of detached hardware monitor window. When this option is disabled, hardware monitor window can be minimized to the taskbar while staying in detached mode
- Now it is possible to pause hardware monitor activity via option in the context menu of hardware monitor window
- Maximum allowed hardware polling period has been extended from 5 to 60 seconds
- Added configuration file setting allowing power users to display performance profiler status informaition in the hardware monitor window. The information allows estimating average CPU performance hit caused by hardware monitor and software automatic fan control layers
- Optimized timer message queue processing under high CPU load conditions for better hardware monitoring and software automatic fan control events handling
- Reduced CPU usage for simultaneous GPU clock frequency and GPU usage readings on AMD graphics cards, both values are being read in single pass now
- Maximum limits has been extended from 1000 to 1500MHz for core clock graph and from 2000 to 2500MHz for shader clock and memory clock graphs
- Added readme file and option to display it in the installer
- Now tab is not displayed in advanced settings window if there are no fan control capable GPUs in the system
- Updated context help files, added more hints to button help

this tool is the heat!!!

What's the difference in the voltage adjustment for thr 5870 from the other version? Won't be able to try it out till I get home... Not sure what version I've been using but I did have to flash the Asus bios to my HIS in order for the voltage adjustment to work.

Is there an Afterburner fan club? it's great, I love it, it's the GUI that RivaTuner has always deserved.

[spajdr]

Thanks for the news, voltage works nicely for both cores at once, previously it didnt worked for me

[RejZoR]

Does this tool also support gfx cards from other vendors like EVGA Precision does (not just MSI)?

All vendors, both AMD and Nvidia

MSI for life, love their motherboards aswell *takes cover*

There are no changes in this area, the very first item in the changes list is not supposed to be there, it is just a mistake of webmaster who copied v1.1.0 changes list to v1.2.0.

i thought i would be scarred for life after my K9A2-CF incident, but they do make up for it in other products. (still dont like their website)

I had two MSI mobos. One back in the Socket A era with some lowly VIA chipset, and a K8N Neo4-F Socket 939 (Nforce 4).
Both died about one year after buying them...

I have another MSI on a secondary PC now, and It's been ok so far. But if i base the brand on my past experiences...

hi to everyone, quick question regarding this programm: would it run correctly on a EVGA 8600 GT 512mb DDR3 VGA???? thx

[STaRGaZeR]

We have no support for the 5800 series in Rivatuner, I wonder why unwinder is putting his efforts in this app instead of RT...

[JoeBar]

Hoping that Afterburner would be rivatuner's wake up call...

[jmke]

Most likely he's getting paid for this app

[IvanAndreevich]

Most likely he's getting paid for this app

For sure he is

I thought so, but some random mod may come here if we point fingers and say something like this. It wouldn't be the first time

[Vinas]

Just downloaded and installed over the old one. Kept all my settings but looks pretty much the same (which isn't a bad thing).

the man himself.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the overclocking community.

This is a nice piece of software! Thanks unwinder...

I do have a question though, if anyone knows....
For some reason, I have no voltage control on my video card. Visiontek 4870/512:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129113

Is this a limit of the cards PWM section or would a bios flash enable this option?

Thanks..... Dave

[Frontl1ne]

When I'm using Afterburner and launch a 3D application, I get a BSOD straight away. I've read a few other people who get this problem as well. It happened in the original Afterburner and also v1.1.0. Does anyone know if it happens with this update?

Most likely you'll need a bios flash to enable the control. Your card has adjustable vrms (but they get freaking HOT even at stock) so if you find say an ASUS bios then it should work. Keep the H/W the same though, don't go flashing a 1GB version to your 512MB, etc.

A year ago you'd get flamed for that statement, now that MSI have sorted out their X58 and P55 range they are a good brand again.

In the first version I pushed the voltage to max on my 4890 and tried to go for 1ghz/1ghz, but I keep getting flickering. Any idea what this is from? Using CCC I am able to run 950/999 on my MSI 4890 OC >> 880/999 stock version. I figured I would be able to push up to 1ghz with the higher voltage, but have not. I havent tried lower settings as I was in a rush and wanted to see if 1ghz/1ghz was possible. I was able to play the same games at the new clocks, even as high as 1000/1200 I believe with the same flickering. Didn't crash though, just flickered. So I turned it back to my 'safe' 950/999 setting.

AB didnt work that well on my 4870x2... i change the vGPU and GPU speed, but GPUz doesnt change:-(
