in games or overclocking without missing a single frame. The Predator software
supports the H.264 codec, multiple file formats (.WMV, .AVI), size and quality
to capture your match winning frag, beating the game on hard or breaking a
record in overclocking.

Hardware Monitor

The Hardware Monitor shows critical hardware information in real-time;
temperature, usage, clock speed, and voltage. You can display selected
information on-screen to keep an eye on key statistics while you are in game.


WHAT'S NEW

4.6.5 Beta 2

 * CPU usage sensors have been switched to alternate data source to bypass wrong
   CPU usage reporting on 22H2 due to broken idle times returned by
   NtQuerySystemInformation(SystemProcessorPerformanceInformation)
 * Fan control tweak documented in this post, which allows bypassing recent
   fixed fan control API changes on Polaris, is now forcibly enabled on such
   cards with newer drivers.
 * Added new AMD/NVIDIA PCI DeviceIDs to hardware database
 * RTSS has been upgraded to 7.3.4 beta
 * We switched update server to new URL in update checking system. Old update
   server location is reaching EOL in near future.

4.6.4

 * Added new NVIDIA GPU to hardware database
 * Added support for revised shared memory layout, introduced in RivaTuner
   Statistics Server v7.3.2 beta 4
 * Minor improvements in tray icon monitoring implementation aimed to prevent
   monitoring tray icons blurring in high DPI modes
 * RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.3.2 beta 5
 * Added voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON RX 6700 XT series
   graphics cards
 * Added experimental support for Intel 11th generation CPUs
 * Added experimental support for mobile AMD Ryzen CPUs
 * Fixed issue with missing memory temperature sensor on AMD RADEON 5700 / 5700
   XT series graphics cards
 * Increased memory overclocking limit for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30x0 series
   graphics cards
 * Added voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON RX 6700 XT series
   graphics cards
 * Added experimental support for Intel 11th generation CPUs
 * Added experimental support for mobile AMD Ryzen CPUs
 * Fixed issue with missing memory temperature sensor on AMD RADEON 5700 / 5700
   XT series graphics cards
 * Increased memory overclocking limit for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30x0 series
   graphics cards
 * RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.3.2

Final 4.6.3

 * Added NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture support:
   * Added new fan control 3.0 API support
   * Added new integrated OC Scanner API support, please read below to get more
     information about new OC Scanner implementation
 * Updated bundled MSI Overclocking Scanner application:
   * Starting from 455.xx drivers family, NVIDIA OS Scanner is no longer
     implemented as a separate software component redistributed with each AIC
     partner's overclocking software. Now NVIDIA OC Scanner is integrated into
     the driver and third party software can natively access it via NVAPI. Such
     implementation simplifies the process of OC Scanner maintenance for NVIDIA,
     it is no longer necessary to ship updated software components to AIC
     partners and re-release each partners's software when something needs to be
     changed inside OC Scanner from NVIDIA side. MSI Overclocking Scanner
     supports both implementations of NVIDIA OC Scanner API:
 * Old legacy implementation of NVIDIA OC Scanner via separate software
   components for NVIDIA Pascal and Turing architectures for pre-455.xx drivers
   family
 * New integrated NVAPI based implementation of NVIDIA OC Scanner for 455.xx and
   newer NVIDIA display drivers
 * New NVAPI based OC scanner implementation features the following changes and
   improvements:
   * Automated overlocking support for both core and memory clocks
   * OC Scanners's results are now persistent. It means that once the scanning
     process succeeds, NVIDIA driver internally saves optimized
     voltage/frequency curve and overclocked memory clock and apply them as new
     system defaults after reboot, even if you close or uninstall overclocking
     application. Now there is new "Revert" button inside MSI Overclocking
     Scanner, which allows you to revert overclocked curve and memory clocks to
     their real defaults
   * Manually adjusted clock/frequency curve stability testing functionality is
     deprecated and no longer available
 * Added voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30x0 series
   graphic cards
 * Added new MSI Ampere and Indigo skins by Drerex design
 * Added experimental support for Intel 10th generation CPUs
 * Added native NVAPI based implementation of absolute GPU power monitoring for
   NVIDIA GPUs
 * Altered synchronization mutex name for AMD SNM registers access in AMD Ryzen
   temperature monitoring implementation
 * Fixed abnormally high PCIE bus usage value monitored on NVIDIA GPUs after
   display driver crash and recovery or on Optimus
 * platforms when discrete GPU is sleeping
 * Added workaround for AMD driver bug causing short display flicker during
   applying new fan settings on some multi-monitor or
 * single monitor high refresh rate display configurations
 * Now MSI Afterburner is forcibly disabling Zero RPM when applying new fixed
   fan speed in order to bypass AMD driver bug
 * preventing fan control from working when Zero RPM mode is enabled on some
   systems. If Zero RPM is working properly on your
 * system and you still want to keep it enabled when adjusting fan speed, you
   may disable forcible Zero RPM override with power
 * oriented switch in application configuration file
 * ow MSI Afterburner is displaying the minimum allowed fan speed in software
   fan curve editor window on Overdrive 8 capable
 * AMD GPUs. The latest AMD drivers will not allow you to set fan speed below
   this limit, that's by design of driver
 * AMD ADL components are loaded by absolute path now to prevent possible DLL
   hijacking
 * Tightened IO driver access policy, the driver can no longer be accessed by
   users with no administrative rights
 * RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.3.0. This version
   introduces plugins architecture and brand new visual overlay editor plugin,
   we strongly recommend you to try it if you're advanced user and want to
   customize your OSD beyond the possibilities of MSI Afterburner's internal OSD
   layout editor

What's New 4.6.2

 * Added voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20x0 SUPER
   series graphic cards
 * Added voltage control for AMD RADEON RX 5700 series graphics cards
 * Added new MSI Steampunked, MSI Lightning Anniversary and MSI Mystic skins by
   Drerex design
 * Improved hardware monitoring module:
   * Added CPU temperature monitoring support for AMD Ryzen 3X00 processors
     family

     Threadripper 29X0 processors family
   * Added package CPU power and per-core CPU power monitoring for AMD Ryzen
     processors family
   * Improved monitoring plugins architecture:
 * Added API function for reading host application's hardware monitoring
   timestamp from the plugins. 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
 * Added optional plugin unititialization callback function, which is called by
   the host before unloading the plugins. New multithreaded Ping.dll plugin is
   demonstrating new function usage to shut down ping monitoring thread properly
 * Improved monitoring plugins:
   * Updated CPU.dll plugin is demonstrating AMD Ryzen CPU temperature
     monitoring implementation and optimal duplication of the same temperature
     sensor readback for all CPU cores
   * Added new Ping.dll plugin for monitoring ping to desired server via ICMP
     echo requests. Please take a note that the plugin is configured to monitor
     ping to www.guru3d.com by default, it is up to you to specify target server
     name or IP address in the plugin properties
 * Improved skin engine:
   * Optimized skin rendering performance for skins using multiple overlapped
     animated indicators
   * Added position smoothing support to skinned indicators
   * Now skinned applications can forcibly disable indicator animation if
     necessary
   * Skin format reference guide has been updated to v1.8 to document these
     changes
 * Updated IO driver provides more secure MMIO and MSR access interface
 * RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.2.3
