MSI Afterburner developer adds unofficial support for RX 9000 GPU

The person behind MSI Afterburner just made AMD graphics card fans very happy. Unwinder decided to add support for the new RX 9000 series cards without waiting for MSI approval. The company never officially asked him to do this work. He took matters into his hands about two weeks back. MSI does not even make these AMD cards.

The unofficial update lets people mess with their graphics cards in many ways. Gamers can boost clock speeds and adjust fan settings through the popular software. Temperature monitoring and memory usage tracking work perfectly fine. The tool remains the top choice for people who want to push their hardware harder. Real-time stats help users keep tabs on their system performance.

You cannot find this special version on MSI official website. Guru3D hosts the download files for anyone who wants them. The beta build carries version number 4.6.6 Beta 6 Build 16591. Future NVIDIA RTX 500 series cards also received support in this release. The RTX 5050 might be the mystery card mentioned in the code.

Unwinder made it clear that MSI had nothing to do with AMD support. The developer posted a message explaining his independent decision. He stressed that MSI sells zero AMD graphics cards from this generation. The update happened because RX 9070 XT and similar cards became popular with buyers. Smart programmers sometimes work ahead of their employers.
