Can't get MSIAfterburner related script to work on new machine (works fine on old)

I have a script on my old Windows 10 machine (with an NVidia 1070) that lists some measures from the GPU:-

However, but on a new Windows 11 machine (Nvidia 4070) this just won't work.

I've copied the same MSIAfterBurner.dll into plugins. And can see it listed in About>Plugins (Version 2 Nick Connors).

If I look at logs I can see Rainmeter saying it's loaded that dll.

If I look at the skin in about I can see all the nine measures sitting there as 0.


I've got MSI Afterburner running and RivaTunerStatistics...


Any idea what might be up? Might it be the MSIAfterBurner.dll isn't compatible with an NVidia 4070?

ps: In the back of my mind something says a setting on RivaTunerStatistics needs enabling?

I noticed that the MSIAfterburner column names seem to have changed between the old machine and new one...

So for example I changed DataSource=GPU temperature
to
DataSource=GPU2 temperature
and that seems to now work...

So I'll work my way down the fields to get the new values...

It's a possibility, but first let's just eliminate the other potential culprits.

It's a possibility as well, albeit it's more about "disabling" a setting. This is unlikely though, given that measures yield 0 in the log.

I think you're getting closer. Take a look here and let me know if that sample skin works for you. If so, read about some of the details that could have been the problem, in the same post.

Yeh, I carefully went thru updating all the data sources to the new names now offered in MSI Afterburner on the new machine, and all's working :great:
