Une nouvelle version de l’indispensable Afterburner s’accompagne d’un changement majeur. L’application va abandonner Windows XP. Cela concerne Afterburner 4.6.6.
La raison est simple. Unwinder, son développeur a pris la décision d’adopter le référentiel Visual C++ au runtime 2022. Le changement est donc majeur avec l’abandon de celui de 2008. En parallèle cette nouvelle version prend en charge le contrôle de la tension de la Radeon RX 7800 XT. La note de version précise une compatibilité avec de « futurs identifiants de périphériques PCI du GPU NVIDIA ». Nous n’avons malheureusement pas d’autre information à ce sujet. S’agit-il de la prochaine architecture graphique de la firme ?
A tout ceci s’ajoute d‘autres petites choses dont des améliorations pour les compteurs de performances. Vous trouverez tous les détails en fin d’article. A noter que le logiciel est pour le moment proposé en version bêta seulement.
Afterburner 4.6.6 bêta, note de version et lien.
Nom : Afterburner
Version : 4.6.6 (beta)
Date de publication : 12 février 2024
- Ported to VC++ 2022 compiler. Please take a note that due to this change MSI Afterburner will no longer be able to start under Windows XP. Please stay on the previous versions of the product if you need this OS support
- Please take a note that size of mandatory VC++ 2022 runtime redistributables roughly doubled comparing to the previously used VC++ 2008 redistributables, and we’d like to avoid providing overblown application distributive, drastically increased in size due to bundling newer and much heavier VC++ redistributables with it. To deal with this issue we provide our own original tiny web installer for VC++ redistributables, which allowed decreasing the size of final application distributive drastically even comparing to the previous VC++ 2008 based version. Please take a note that install time can be increased slightly due to downloading VC++ 2022 runtimes redistributables on the fly during installation. If you install MSI Afterburner offline, you can always deploy required VC++ 2022 distributives later with web installer by launching .\Redist\VCRedistDeploy.bat
- Added voltage control support for AMD RADEON RX 7800XT series graphics cards
- Added some future NVIDIA GPU PCI DeviceIDs to hardware database
- Now MSI Afterburner reinitializes skin scaling engine on DPI scaling change events to prevent cases when GUI looks cut off in some cases (e.g. after switching between display resolutions with different DPI scaling settings)
- Fixed instances enumeration for some performance counters with no localized names (e.g. GPU related Windows performance counters) in PerfCounter.dll plugin
- Added experimental support for “Beta : Use Unicode UTF-8 for global language support” option enabled in administrative regional OS settings. Now each localization description file contains additional “Codepage” field, defining runtime ANSI to UTF8 conversion rule for selected language pack
- Seriously revamped German and Ukrainian localizations
- RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.3.5:
- New version’s changes list is huge, it includes more than 90 compatibility enhancements, changes and new features including programmable conditional layers support, PresentMon and NVIDIA Reflex integration
