Everyone's favorite graphics card adjustment app has been fully updated for the first time since 2019, with a new build of MSI Afterburner (opens in new tab) that includes full support for Nvidia's latest RTX 40 series GPUs (opens in new tab) and AMD's RX 7000 series ( Intel's new Arc GPUs are also supported on a limited basis.

Earlier this year, Afterburner's sole developer, Alexey 'Unwinder' Nicolaychuk, reported on the apparent problems he was having securing compensation from MSI (opens in new tab). [As a result, Nicolaychuk stated that Afterburner was "probably dead," and the developer cited "war and politics" as obstacles to progress, suggesting that his Russian citizenship may have been a barrier.

However, MSI told us at the time that they fully intended to "continue with MSI Afterburner" and were indeed committed to the app; MSI is working on a solution and expects it to be resolved soon.

Well, whatever the problem is, it certainly seems to have been resolved; MSI Afterburner 4.6.5 is now available for download and brings a long list of upgrades.

Version 4.6.5 provides hardware monitoring for Intel Arc GPUs, in addition to the full support for the latest Nvidia and AMD graphics mentioned above. However, overclocking and tuning of Arc graphics is not supported because Intel's hardware control API for Arc requires x64 code.

Elsewhere, voltage control support has been added for GA103 and GDDR6X-based versions of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. "Experimental" support for Intel's 13th generation CPUs and AMD Ryzen 7000 processors is likewise included in the release notes 11]

Support for the GDDR6X-based versions has also been added, as well.

In any case, the app can be downloaded from both the MSI website (opens in new tab) and Guru3D (opens in new tab). Thus, you are free to download the app and clock off the Twangers from your GPU, whether it is a shiny new one or a dusty old ex-mining brick end of the line. At your own risk, of course; don't come crying to us when your GPU's mosfets lose the will to live.
