New MSI Afterburner beta adds curve editor upgrades and teases new hardware support

Alexey “Unwinder” Nicolaychuk is back at work on MSI Afterburner, with the first beta of version 4.6.7 arriving soon. This update brings some significant and long-requested usability improvements to the voltage/frequency (V/F) curve editor, making fine-tuning your GPU easier than ever. Moreover, it also hints at support for a mysterious new class of MSI hardware.

According to the Unwinder's Guru3D post (via Uniko's Hardware), the upcoming beta focuses heavily on refining the V/F curve editor experience. Users will now be able to zoom into the curve using the mouse wheel (from 100% to 500%) and pan across the editor by holding the right mouse button. The V/F curve nodes will now scale proportionally with the zoom level, making precise adjustments much less fiddly. Unwinder has also enhanced the curve manipulation modes, improving how linear interpolation (Ctrl + drag) and offset adjustments (Alt + drag) work with selected node ranges.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of the update notes, however, is the mention that Unwinder is adding support for a “new class of MSI hardware devices”. An engineering sample is already in hand, meaning this isn't something currently on the market.

KitGuru says: Whatever this new hardware turns out to be, the improvements coming to the V/F curve editor alone make the upcoming Afterburner 4.6.7 beta something worth checking out for overclocking enthusiasts.
