Description

MSI Afterburner is a free and powerful graphics card overclocking and monitoring software used by gamers, PC enthusiasts, and content creators worldwide.
Developed by MSI but compatible with most NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, it gives you complete control over your graphics card’s performance, cooling, and stability. With its intuitive interface, you can easily adjust core and memory clock speeds, set custom fan curves, and, if supported, fine-tune voltage for maximum efficiency or performance.

It includes real-time hardware monitoring to track GPU temperature, usage, clock speeds, voltage, VRAM usage, and fan speed. The integrated On-Screen Display (OSD), powered by RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS), lets you view live system stats in games and applications. You can save multiple profiles for different needs such as silent operation, balanced performance, or maximum overclock and switch between them instantly.

For testing and stability, MSI Afterburner works seamlessly with MSI Kombustor, allowing you to run benchmarks and stress tests directly from the software. It also supports gameplay recording and screenshots with minimal performance loss.

Lightweight, reliable, and completely free, MSI Afterburner is the go to solution for anyone who wants to optimize GPU performance, monitor hardware in real time, and enhance their PC gaming experience.
