Description of 4.6.7 Changes on MSI Afterburner
The developer of the most popular tool MSI Afterburner, Alexey "Unwinder" Nikolaichuk, confirmed that a fresh 4.6.7 Beta version is underway. This will introduce enormous changes to the interface of the program and its functions like the advanced voltage and frequency (V/F) curve editor and support for a new line of MSI hardware.
Extended Voltage and Frequency (V/F) Editor
The updated V/F editor is to cater for more flexible and easy manual frequency adjustment approaches to enthusiasts. Significant improvements will include:
- Workspace Scaling: Scaling of the editor workspace from 100% up to 500%.
- Node Resizing: Users will be able to affect the size of curve nodes via a configuration file.
- Targeted Interpolation: Linear interpolation will be confined to specifically selected ranges of points.
- Curve Shifting: It will also be possible to shift the whole curve without losing the individual values for each point.
Support for a New Class of MSI Devices
Though the most interesting part of this news is that MSI Afterburner is preparing to support some undisclosed new class of MSI hardware. Nikolaichuk, however, did confirm to have received an engineering sample of the device and added the hint that "it's definitely not a GPU."
User speculation regarding the new hardware abounds, ranging from the next-generation portable gaming console, possibly MSI Claw, to other advanced telemetry-embedded PC components such as motherboards and power supplies.
The Future of Afterburner An Ecosystem Hub
This could mean that the MSI Afterburner would change its current paradigm as an overclocking software for graphics cards to one that could likely develop into a synergistic unified monitoring and controlling hub for the entire suite of MSI devices.
