MSI Afterburner Developer Invests in AMD Graphics Card Support
The developer of MSI Afterburner has taken measures to extend its support for AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards despite not having the official hardware.
GPU overclocking tool Afterburner has been favored by PC gamers since it launched in the late 2000s. Despite its wide support for various graphics cards, it’s currently unable to fully support AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9060 GPUs because MSI does not produce RDNA 4 cards.
The developer, Alexey Nicolaychuk, known as Unwinder, is addressing this gap. He stated:
“As you know, due to some unknown reason MSI decided to skip RDNA4 and focus on manufacturing NVIDIA GPU-based solutions only this round. This means that I get no MSI RDNA4 hardware samples for development, so there is no RX 9070 XT support in MSI Afterburner yet.”
However, he has obtained third-party hardware to implement unofficial support for these graphics cards, indicating that an upcoming beta will include this capability. This change means MSI Afterburner is becoming more compatible with PowerColor cards as part of this initiative.
