[PR] MSI Afterburner Overvoltage Gives You Outstanding Graphics Card Performance Boosting and Energy Savings in One Package!

(Taipei – Taiwan) For overclocking enthusiasts around the world with their hearts set on breaking world records, the difference between success and failure can be razor thin. For gamers looking for the smoothest graphics performance, frozen frames and artifacts at high loads detract from their gaming experience; 3D Blu-ray movie watchers may have also run into the problem of massive power consumption and rocketing temperatures. The Afterburner graphics card overclocking utility from leading motherboard and graphics card manufacturer MSI provides overvoltage support for the widest range of graphics cards on the market (when compared with other software). Core overvoltage can boost overclocking potential by up to 27.7%¹ and unleash your graphics card’s full performance. Voltage adjustment can be used to lower core voltage. In addition to power savings, lowering the voltage can also reduce GPU temperature, running noise and CO₂ emissions. The energy-savings and carbon reduction from collective use of the Afterburner utility are the equivalent of planting an expanse of forest equal to 10,000 football fields in one year!

Support for the Widest Range of Graphics Card Makes Voltage Adjustment Easy

Don’t be fooled into thinking that overvoltage is the privilege of high-end graphics cards. The MSI Afterburner utility offers the best GPU overvoltage support in the industry with over 60 compatible graphics cards starting from the MSI N430GT and MSI R6750. Graphics card performance can be pushed to the very edge with voltage adjustments as small as 0.001V. The MSI Lightning, Hawk and Power Edition series even provides complete support for MSI’s exclusive Triple Overvoltage function. Being able to adjust the core, memory and AUX voltages at the same time allows enthusiasts to dominate the world of overclocking.

Overclock and Overvolt Graphics Card for Game Stability

The first thing that many gamers try when they run into a performance bottleneck is to overclock their graphics card, but often times this isn’t enough. MSI Afterburner’s overvoltage function allows the core voltage to be increased during overclocking for a staggering boost that extracts the last ounce of performance from your card! For example, the GPU on the N560GTX-Ti Hawk can easily be overclocked to more than 1000MHz after overvoltage. The increase of 27.7% compared to the reference board helps meet gamers’ ever-increasing performance demands.

The MSI Afterburner overclocking utility unleashes your graphics card’s full potential after overvoltage.

Save Energy and Money with Reduced Voltage, Power Consumption and Noise

Energy-saving and carbon reduction are provides benefits for everyone on the planet.. The MSI Afterburner utility can also save power by reducing graphics card voltage as well as core and memory clock. Fans can then run at a lower speed to save on wear and tear, power consumption, heat and noise.

Take the MSI N480GTX Lightning when it’s running 3D games under a 3-way SLI model for example. Power consumption totals 645W before voltage reduction and 585W after voltage reduction. The difference means savings of up to 175,200 kWh in a year. If there are five million platforms around the world using the MSI N480GTX Lightning’s 3-way model, the reduction in CO2 emissions from the saved power is equivalent to planting 5.9 million trees in one year; enough trees to cover an area the size of 10,000 soccer fields!2 Thanks to MSI Afterburner’s easy-to-use power saving wizard, users can do their part for the environment even while using computers.
