MSI Afterburner is a graphics card overclocking (OC) and monitoring utility that allows users to monitor and adjust various settings of their graphics card. [2] Developed by MSI (Micro-Star International) and previously Alexey Nicolaychuk, developer of RivaTuner, it is widely used for enhancing the performance of graphics cards, especially in gaming and high-performance tasks.
It has since been licensed by computer hardware vendors and integrated into various overclocking utilities, including MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision X (prior to version 16), and ASUS GPU Tweak. In 2014, EVGA terminated its contract with Alexey and was subsequently discovered to have engaged in source code theft after releasing a clone of ...
The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.
Many MSI graphics cards are manufactured at its plant in mainland China. The company has branch offices in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia and South Africa. As of 2015, the company has a global presence in over 120 countries. MSI and Syrma SGS announced their collaboration to make laptops in Chennai on January 10, 2025.
The main AMD GPU software stacks are fully supported on Linux: GPUOpen for graphics, and ROCm for compute. GPUOpen is most often merely a supplement, for software utilities, to the free Mesa software stack that is widely distributed and available by default on most Linux distributions .
Since then vehicle attacks have become increasingly common, though only some have been declared acts of terrorism. The New Year's Day attack in New Orleans, as revelers ushered in 2025, was the ...
A classic motherboard with on-board integrated graphics processors, a discrete graphics card can be installed at a PCI slot. GPU switching is a mechanism used on computers with multiple graphic controllers. This mechanism allows the user to either maximize the graphic performance or prolong battery life by switching between the graphic cards.
The dynamic power (switching power) dissipated by a chip is C·V 2 ·A·f, where C is the capacitance being switched per clock cycle, V is voltage, A is the Activity Factor [1] indicating the average number of switching events per clock cycle by the transistors in the chip (as a unitless quantity) and f is the clock frequency.
