'MSI Afterburner is a bit PowerColor Afterburner now' as the dev had to buy another manufacturer's GPU to build support for AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards into the next beta

MSI Afterburner.

GPU overclocking and tweaking tool Afterburner has been the app of choice for countless PC gamers around the world since it first launched way back in the late 2000s. Since then, it's supported almost every graphics card to appear on the market, but as things currently stand, it doesn't fully support AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and 9060 GPUs because MSI doesn't make RDNA 4 cards. Fortunately, Afterburner's developer has a plan to get around this problem.

If you've never used it before, Afterburner is a small program that displays real-time information about your graphics card's clock speeds, temperatures, power consumption, and so on. It also offers tools to overclock the GPU and VRAM, tweak voltages, and along with RivaTuner Statistics Server, provide an in-game overlay showing the above details.
