MSI Afterburner - Unleash the power of your graphics card.

MSI Afterburner is a free program that will allow you to overclock your graphics card (GPU), thus increasing its performance. This tool designed exclusively for Windows offers very useful functions, such as monitoring the GPU while playing video games, hardware customization, multiple profiles for different configurations, and much more.

Similar to programs like ClockGen or RivaTuner, MSI Afterburner will allow you to change the fan speed, temperature, voltage, and memory, among many other things. If you are interested, keep reading to learn more.

Maximize your GPU performance

Let's be clear: nowadays, many video games have very high graphics requirements and if your graphics card doesn't measure up, it's normal for the game to slow down or not work properly. While many choose to buy a newer GPU, in many cases it's only necessary to unleash the power of your current graphics card.

Thanks to MSI Afterburner, you can overclock your GPU as much as you want and even monitor its performance. The program also includes options to create up to 5 profiles, instantly load custom configurations, control fan speed, and an option to triple the overvoltage. The best part? It's completely free.

 

An intuitive design, but only for expert eyes

The main screen of MSI Afterburner displays two sliders: one to measure GPU voltage and the second to measure memory. The remaining sliders show computer temperature, current voltage, central clock information, fan speed, and many other data.

Once our GPU is configured according to our preferences, you can save these settings as profiles to instantly switch to them whenever you want. If you need to update your graphics card driver to the latest version, you just need to check the information available below the sliders, including its name and version number.

However, MSI Afterburner is a program developed for people with advanced hardware knowledge and should not be used unless you know exactly what you're doing.

How to use MSI Afterburner for overclocking?

In the main window of the program, you will find the option to control the frequency of the GPU and the VRAM memory of the graphics card. You will also be able to manually access the fan parameters. The correct adjustment of the control bar for these parameters produces the overclock. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious to avoid overheating.

The ultimate program for overclocking your PC

Despite its name, MSI Afterburner works with all types of graphics cards, not just MSI brand ones. In addition, except for some parts of its main screen, practically the entire program is translated into Spanish, so you will be able to perfectly understand what each thing is for.

Being a 100% free program, and having a very easy to use and customize interface, as well as dozens of different settings that will allow you to squeeze your GPU, MSI Afterburner is possibly the best option for overclocking your PC.
