Nicolaychuk also clarified that he will continue working on RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS), another project that’s technically separate from MSI Afterburner, though is vital to the latter’s overlay feature. Though at least that was just down to business disagreements with Nvidia and not, well, a war.

It's not like it’s easy to jump to a competitor either: Afterburner’s closest rival, EVGA Precision X1, also faces an uncertain future after EVGA quit the graphics card business late last year. However, like most software, it will need updates to stay both useful and safe to use, with support for new graphics cards like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series and AMD Radeon RX 7000 series needing to be added with each launch.ĭespite MSI’s optimism, it does seem that such updates might not come anytime soon. I use it regularly for benchmarking, and for my money (zero pounds, it’s free), it’s the best utility available for easily overclocking a GPU. 'MSI have been working on a solution and expect it to be resolved soon', the statement reads.Īfterburner is a great tool as it is. In a statement to PC Gamer, MSI confirmed that “economic regulations” had scuppered past attempts to pay into Nicolaychuk’s bank account, and that they intend for Afterburner’s development to continue. Watch on YouTube Liam and Ed recently investigated how much time World of Warcraft takes up in your life for the first episode of Inventory Space. In addition to GPU overclocking, there is also FPS monitoring, increasing or decreasing GPU fan speed, core voltage, temperature and power limitation.
