MSI has released version 4.6.2 of Afterburner, a graphics card tweak program. Although MSI has its name, the program can also be used with products from other manufacturers, although all functionality may or may not always be available. Afterburner can track and display various values ​​of the graphics card such as clock speed, voltage, temperature, fan speed and frame rate. In addition, it is possible to overclock the card and create different profiles, which can be easily switched between.

MSI also has a number of other tools. For example, Predator allows the video output to be recorded and shared, and there is a benchmark program called Kombustor.

The timestamp is updated by host on each hardware polling iteration, so it allows the plugin to precache and reuse some sensor data if the same physical sensor value is being used in multiple data sources exported by plugin. Such approach is demonstrated in updated CPU.dll plugin for duplicating the same temperature sensor value for all cores on AMD CPU

• Improved monitoring plugins:
  • Updated CPU.dll plugin is demonstating AMD Ryzen CPU temperature monitoring implementation and optimal duplication of the same temperature sensor readback for all CPU cores
