MSI Afterburner, the popular overclocking and monitoring tool for graphics cards, is about to receive a major update that could transform its original purpose.
Version 4.6.7 Brings Big Improvements
With version 4.6.7 currently in development, the renowned developer Alexey “Unwinder” Nicolaychuk is not only refining the user experience but has also hinted at support for a “new class of MSI hardware.”
Among the standout improvements in this upcoming beta are updates to the voltage/frequency (V/F) curve editor, such as the ability to modify node size directly from the configuration file, zoom between 100% and 500% using the mouse wheel, and move across the workspace with the right mouse button.
Linear interpolation modes (Ctrl + drag) and curve shifting (Alt + drag) have also been optimized, now supporting selected node ranges — improving accuracy and efficiency for advanced users.
Possible Support for New MSI Devices
The most intriguing part is the arrival of a new prototype hardware in the developer’s hands, suggesting that Afterburner could expand beyond GPUs. One strong theory points to possible integration with the MSI Claw handheld console line, powered by AMD Ryzen APUs and running Windows.
This would open the door to deeper support for integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics and future architectures.
Another possibility is compatibility with motherboards or power supplies, allowing for more accurate measurements of GPU power consumption.
In any case, this evolution marks a significant step for Afterburner, which could soon become a more comprehensive monitoring and tuning platform within the MSI ecosystem.
