    Haven't seen this mentioned on here before but MSI have recently released an APP for Apple iPhone/Touch devices that lets you manipulate the Afterburner software via remote server software. Looks pretty neat and allows you to keep track of GPU activities on the Apple device whilst in game. In effect acting as a second screen for sole use of Afterburner!

    Anyone try it yet?

    I was going to comment with what a waste of time, when would you ever try overclocking your gpu remotely, then I read the last part of your comment.

    I will give this a go as a second screen for monitoring in my bf3 session tomorrow and let you know :)

    Sounds neat, but I don't have an iPhone.

    Simple solution, but an 8gb 3G, cheaper than a second screen ;-)

    On a serious note, I'll let you know how terrible it is tomorrow

    I got the Android version of this app and its Great!!! it allows you to change setting while in game and monitor things such as FPS, Temps and fan speeds!!

    To get it working, I did the following:


    1. Start MSI after burner (version 2.10 or higher) on your pc

    2. Unzip the MSI server app
    http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/images/MSIAfterburnerAPP_Android_10.rar

    3. Start MSIAfterburnerRemoteServer.exe (note, this probabily wont work to begin with)

    4. Right click on the MSI server tray icon and select HTTP Listener

    5. Enter in your computers IP address in the top box and choose a port in the second box.

    6. Select restart server from the msi apps tray icon

    7. Start the app on your phone and go to settings.

    8. Click on host IP address in the phone app and enter your PCs ip address: port. Ie 192.168.1.92:671

    Note, you will probabily have to set up a rule in MS firewall to allow the server to communicate with the app.
