- Added core voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti series graphics cards
- Added core voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 series graphics cards
- Added core voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Xp series graphics cards
- Added core voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti series graphics cards
- Added support for NVIDIA GPUs working in TCC (Tesla Compute Cluster) mode
- Hardware abstraction layer architecture has been revamped to allow implementation of memory temperature sensors via direct access to GPU on-die voltage controllers (e.g. AMD Vega 10 SMC) in addition to previously supported external memory temperature
- sensors connected to GPU via I2C bus
- Added AMD Vega 10 graphics processors family support
- Added core voltage control for reference design AMD Vega series cards with on-die SMC voltage controller
- Added GPU power draw graph to hardware monitoring module for AMD Vega series graphics cards
- Added HBM memory temperature graph to hardware monitoring module for AMD Vega series graphics cards
- Added linear RPM-based fan speed control for reference design AMD Vega series graphics cards. Please take a note that traditionally fan speed adjustment scale is not linear and it is not directly mapped to RPM, traditional fan speed percent on other hardware is a PWM duty cycle. !MD Vega fan controller doesn’t support duty cycle based fan control mode, so specified fan speed percent is linearly mapped to maximum RPM percent
- Improved voltage offset calculation accuracy for AMD Fiji, Ellesmere and Baffin GPU families
- Improved voltage offset programming reliability on AMD Ellesmere and Baffin GPU families
- Minimum voltage offset has been extended to -200mV for AMD Fiji and Ellesmere GPU families
- Fixed stuck GPU usage and memory controller usage monitoring on AMD Radeon RX 500 series under 17.6.1 and newer drivers
- Revamped voltage control layer gives additional freedom to extreme overclockers with new custom design MSI graphics cards with Quad Overvoltage™ technology support. Now MSI Afterburner is able to control up to 4 independent voltages on custom design MSI graphics cards
- Improved 5-channel thermal monitoring module architecture provides support for up to 20 independent thermal sensors per GPU (up to 5 independent GPU, up to 5 independent PCB, up to 5 independent memory and up to 5 independent VRM temperature sensors) on future custom design MSI graphics cards
- Added NCT7802Y thermal sensors support to provide compatibility with future custom design MSI graphics cards
- Added core, memory, auxiliary PEXVDD and auxiliary 1V8 voltage control for custom design MSI GTX1080Ti Lightning Z series graphics cards with IR3595A+IR3570B+uP1816 voltage regulators
- Added VRM, VRM2, VRM3, VRM4 and PCB temperature monitoring for custom design MSI GTX1080Ti Lightning Z series graphics cards with NCT7511Y thermal sensors
- Improved hardware database format. New database subsections support provides more compact database definition for multiple graphics card models sharing similar hardware calibration info
- New cached I2C device detection algorithm improves application startup time on the systems with multichannel voltage controllers or multichannel thermal sensors
- Improved third-party voltage control mode functionality. Now third-party hardware database can also include extended thermal sensors calibration and mapping info for third-party custom design graphics cards
- Added AMD Overdrive Next X2 overclocking API support for AMD Crimson 17.7.2 display drivers
- The unofficial overclocking mode is currently broken in AMD Crimson 17.7.2 display drivers, so MSI Afterburner is forcibly disabling unofficial overclocking mode and always using official ADL overclocking codepath on 17.7.2 and newer drivers. However, unofficial overclocking mode can still be manually unlocked via configuration file on 17.7.2 and newer drivers if AMD decides to provide a fix for unofficial overclocking mode in the future
- Improved PCI bus scanner provides support for low-level GPU access for the secondary graphics cards in Crossfire configuration on some platforms
- Fixed system freeze issues when starting MSI Afterburner on AMD Hawaii GPU while playing hardware accelerated video
- Fixed issue with opening wrong graph properties under certain conditions when right clicking a graph in hardware monitoring window and selecting “Properties” command from the context menu
- Improved voltage/frequency curve editor for GPU Boost 3.0 capable NVIDIA graphics cards:
- o Now you may hold key while adjusting the offset of any point with mouse to move the curve up/down. That’s equal to adding fixed offset to each point’s offset
- Various parts of the hardware monitoring module have been pumped up to improve hardware monitoring usability and flexibility. Some new portions of old hardcore functionality from original RivaTuner are now available in MSI Afterburner:
- o Added clock monitoring for Intel CPUs
- o CPU temperature graph is now displaying data from dedicated package sensor on modern Intel CPUs instead of maximum core temperature. On older Intel CPUs with no dedicated package sensor the graph is still displaying the maximum core temperature
- o Added temperature and clock monitoring for AMD Ryzen CPUs
- o Added new “benchmark” tab allowing you to use hidden RivaTuner Statistics Server’s benchmarking engine, which was previously available to reviewers only. The engine is providing you the following features:
- You may define a hotkey for beginning framerate statistics recording. Once the recording begun, it stays active for all subsequently started 3D applications, even after rebooting the system
- New On-Screen Display item type selection settings allow you to display each item in On-Screen Display as a text or graph. The graphs displayed in the On-Screen Display can be useful to visualize frametime history and GPU usage history, and so on
- The maximum text length for “Override group name” setting is no longer limited by 8 symbols. Now you may embed new RivaTuner Statistics Server’s text formatting tags directly into your custom group name, e.g.
- RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.0.0
