****CHANGELOG****

Sorry if it's a bit muddled.


Added video memory usage monitoring for NVIDIA graphics cards under Forceware
185.xx and newer drivers

Added GPU usage monitoring for NVIDIA GT2xx and newer graphics cards under
Forceware 185.xx and newer drivers

Added VGA BIOS version detection for AMD graphics cards

Added optional ability to display hint messages in hardware monitoring window
area. The messages notify the user about runtime profile management activity
(such as profile creation, removal or applying) and other application events
Minor appearance tweaks in default skins

Added compact versions of default skins (default green, red and blue editions)
Now advanced MSI Afterburner properties also support floating tooltip based
context help system similar to the main application window

Now MSI Afterburner supports RivaTuner's user extendable localization system.
Currently localization system includes default English, Russian, Traditional
Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Dutch language packs and affects context help
system and non-skinned advanced properties interface. Similar to RivaTuner
you can also create your own language packs for your native language and
share your work with MSI Afterburner users community!
Improved skin format. Now skinned fonts support characters remapping feature.

All skins supplied with MSI Afterburner are using this feature, third party
skin designers may decompile and peek into these skins to see an example of
new feature usage
Now hardware monitoring window font size can be redefined via the skin, third
party skin designers may decompile and peek into compact versions of default
skins to see an example of new feature usage

Skin format reference documentation has been updated to v1.1 to reflect the
format improvements mentioned above

Added shared memory interface allowing any third party applications to access
MSI Afterburner hardware monitoring statistics. The interface is intended for
future MSI Afterburner Vista / Windows 7 sidebar gadgets, however, the shared
memory layout is publicly open so third party developers can use it to access
MSI Afterburner hardware monitoring statistics from their own applications.

The SDK included in MSI Afterburner distributive contains open source sample
demonstrating the access to shared memory from a third party application
Added command line switches for forcing MSI Afterburner to be minimized to the
system tray area on startup or during runtime and for opening desired advanced
MSI Afterburner properties tab. The switches are intended for interraction
with future MSI Afterburner Vista / Windows 7 sidebar gadgets. Sample code
included in the SDK also shows you how to detect, start and minimize installed

MSI Afterburner, how to open desired tab in advanced properties and how to use
MSI Afterburner profiles from third party applications

Reduced runtime skin engine memory footprint due to dynamic skin storage
unloading

Startup settings are now displayed next to the <Apply overclocking at system
startup> button
Added button for locking profiles modification

Now voltage control is also locked by default in safety options in advanced
MSI Afterburner properties

Added AccessibilityCheckingPeriod configuration file switch for improving the
compatibility with AMD ULPS power saving technology on Crossfire systems. The
switch allows low-level monitoring module to use AMD driver API to check GPU
accessibility and detect and display GPU sleep state properly. Please take a
note that AMD API implementation is ineffective and hardly suits to realtime
monitoring due to high CPU stress resulting in periodic stuttering in games.
That is why the compatibility switch is disabled by default, enable it only
if you absolutely need to see slave GPU sleep state on the graphs and accept
side effects like performance drop and stuttering resulting from ineffective
AMD API implementation

Added NVIDIA GT240M PCI DeviceID range to the core to provide more efficient
hardware monitoring via low-level core on mobile NVIDIA GT240 based systems
(bonus feature, official mobile systems support is still not declared)
Graph limits are now adjustable in the graph properties in <Monitoring> tab

Added AMD RV810 graphics processors family supports

Added voltage control for custom design MSI R5670 1GB series graphics cards
with uP6262 voltage regulators

Added voltage control for custom design MSI R5870 Lightning series graphics
cards with uP6266 voltage regulators

Added voltage control for custom design MSI R5870 Twin Frozr II series
graphics cards with uP6266 voltage regulators

Added voltage control for custom design MSI R5850 Twin Frozr II series
graphics cards with uP6266 voltage regulators
Added integration with external MSI Kombustor stability testing application

Added workaround for overclocking bug of ForceWare 196.21. Please take a note
that the workaround is applied only to 196.00 - 196.21 driver versions range
in order to ensure compatibility with future fixed NVIDIA drivers.

Now hardware database includes marketing names of MSI graphics cards so MSI
Afterburner displays marketing names instead of generic graphics card model
names when possible

Thanks for posting! I'll try it out in couple of days

[Witchdoctor]

Wow ... I hope you pasted that brother .......

Thanks for the skinny on the burner ....

[DrNip]

Interesting, it works on Nvidia cards?

yea the lod one does as well... I have been using it for them latly as the interface is so easy ....

It hit the wall with the GTS though had to use Riva to get higher clocks

it's based on rivatuner so it has to

[Dentlord]

I used afterburner for the 280 on dice, did the voltage and clocks and all, worked great!

thanks for posting the new version, gonna check it out

[DrNip]

I wonder if it allows volt control on the single pcb 295? Hell why don't I just go find out for myself. Be back in a minute.

Edit: Nope and it doesn't even allow for fan control. :(

Edit #2: Fixed the fan control. Had to uncheck auto. Still no volt control.

[ReverendMaynard]

Pretty sure the single PCB 295 doesn't us volterra, it's two 55nm 260-ish gpu's and they never had it.
