Nice done. Sometime since i messed around with AB in Beta stage.

Never really understood why is so important to uninstall and remove everything including my profiles before installing newer versions, I want to keep my profiles so I won't have to make them again.
Unwinder is it "better safe than sorry" method..?

Every now and then an older install can cause an issue with the overlay or the game. 9 out of 10 times that is solved with a clean AB and RTSS install. When that happens with a user, he/she registers, start to ask why AfterBurner messes up so badly (nobody uses search) and that their world has effectively ended, as the new build broke their game or overlay.
So yes, for the novice, please uninstall AB and RTSS before installing a new build.
Unwinder
That’s not entirely correct. Full RTSS reinstall with profiles removal is only required after serious OS platform updates or service packs installation, when Direct3D runtimes are being upgraded by OS whilst running RTSS. That may result in corrupting RTSS injection cache and can be solved either by “Reset cache” button in RTSS properties or by simple performing a clean install. But it has no relation to simply upgrading RTSS or AB versions and clean installs are not required in this case.

Try to peek into software documentation, system requirements section, it clearly states that mobile GPUs are not supported officially.

Peek into the release notes. Those graphs contain data in benchmark mode only, you must start a benchmark with "Begin benchmark recording" hotkey to see them.

Set the format to png and you'll get beautiful lossless quality/ full colour screenshots 🙂

Thank you both for replying.

Thanks for this but i seem to be having loads of problems with alot of programs refusing to install while afterburner is running i just get the basic blahblah.exe has stopped working but if i exit ab they then install fine and before you say it i've completely uninstalled the old version rebooted my pc then installed the new version. This only started to happen after i changed my pc i upgraded to a Ryzen 7 1700 OC@3800Ghz, Asus X370-F MB, Gigabyte GTX1070 G1 GPU and Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz memory (16GB). Before that i had an AMD 8350 CPU, GTX970 GPU, 16GB kingston memory and never had this trouble. anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Regarding the OSD, is it possible to change the unit of a data point? What I mean is, say I wanted Power to not show as % in OSD but instead as W? I ask because I'm using a formula correction to calculate wattage from the percentage. I want the OSD to show W next to the amount instead of %.
With the Afterburner PerfCounter.dll plugin, you can change everything in a config file, is it possible for the internal Afterburner data points?

It might have been blocked, installer usually prompts if the file is in use so this looks more like the file was blocked by a third party software or by the OS itself.
First thing I would try is to right click on the MSI Afterburner installer after it has been downloaded and click "unblock" to get Windows to not interfere via UAC or Defender or any other means since while blocked it's not trusted. 🙂
Second is to ensure Afterburner and RTSS are completely shut down first before installing the new version, exit the program and wait two to three minutes for it to fully unload, since it's being updated anyway I also check by trying to delete some of the files.
(If they report as being in use by anything shut that program down since it's not freeing up the .dll or .sys files for whatever reason, for my own case that's mostly for Rivatuner though and not Afterburner.)
You can also uninstall the program and then reboot to ensure it's all unloaded and cleaned up before installing the new version but the above .sys file appears to have gotten blocked since the in-use error prompt is a bit different and the installer will ask for a reboot in such cases and then handle the replacement on boot when the file is no longer in use.

And I should have a right to offer you to use something else, it is working so bad for you. This all is just my opinion as well, but I assume that you can think about some common failure factor/reason between all those 3 PCs where AB is refusing to work, e.g. the same person configuring them.
Bye, and feel free to come back when you learn how to use application and start talking differently.
P.S. Seriously, it is beyond my understanding why some people think that it is OK to ask questions about freely distributed applications in such form.
Unwinder
Stop posting nonsense and RTFM please, what is really hard for developer is wasting time on such discussions with miners. If you refuse to peek into context help and don't know how to apply settings at startup, it doesn't mean that it doesn't work for others.
Unwinder
It is working and it is clickable. Peek into context help for "Lock profiles" button, it is aimed to protect all profiles (including startup one) from any unintended modifications.

With all the money generated by mining, one has to wonder why they still want to rely on a FREE tool instead of commissioning their own. They've got the money, right? I mean, they make money out of thin air (and electricity.)

Perhaps a update to the 7.2.0 beta which is one of the choices in the download list for the Rivatuner Statistics Server entry on G3D's download page?
EDIT: Yeah it's the 7.2.0 beta 1 download likely bumping the article to the top of the download page.

Hey Unwinder, great work with MSI AB 4.5.0 and last RTSS version - I've used them for monitoring for years, and now I can efficiently record the screen too using a simple x264vfw setup! One small 'problem' though: in my case, the RTSS disables desktop composition (aka the Aero theme in Windows 7) when recording. Any idea on why this happens and how I can avoid it (if it's possible, of course)? I should mention that I kept the previous MSI AB 4.1.0 settings when I unintalled it and installed the 4.5.0 version (here they are). Disabling the Aero theme doesn't bother me too much, but if it can be avoided, I'd be glad to know how - thanks again.
