Godot MSI Afterburner Monitor

Small GDExtension plugin that allows to retrieve data from MSI Afterburner, supports graphs minimum and maximum limits. Windows 32 bit and 64 bit only. Tested with Godot 4.3 and Godot 4.4.1.

How to use

Make sure to have MSI Afterburner running in the background!

Search for MSIAfterburnerNode and add it to your scene, then add a script. It's best to add a Timer and connect the timeout() signal to your node, like this:

In your script, poll the data on every timeout, then you can display it (if available):

extends MSIAfterburnerNode

func on_timer_timeout():
	poll()
	
	if not data.is_empty():
		print(data[&"RAM usage"].value)

The name entry of the dictionary corresponds to the source name in MSI Afterburner.

poll() returns true if the data was retrieved successfully, else false.

The structure of data:

{
	&"<source_name>": {
		"value": float,
		"minLimit": float,
		"maxLimit": float,
		"unit": String
	},
	...
	&"<gpu_id>": "<GPU name>"
}

Try out the demo scene for an example.

Building

Requirements:

• Python
• SCons

Clone the repository along with the godot-cpp submodule. On the root directory, open the command prompt and run: python -m SCons platform=windows

To build for 32 bits, add arch=x86_32 at the end of the command.

Alternatively, you can open the folder in Visual Studio Code and press Ctrl + Shift + B and select the desired build task.
