AMD Catalyst Control Center |
The current control panel for AMD's graphics drivers (known as AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition as of 2022), allows users to have control over anti aliasing, anisotropic filtering, tessellation, framerate capping and voltage adjustment either globally or on a per-game basis.
- If you are looking for the (2016) Catalyst Control Center, it can be found here.
Simple Modifications
Virtual Super Resolution (VSR)
- Allows running games in higher resolutions (e.g. 4K Ultra HD) on lower-resolution displays.
- Currently requires a Radeon HD 7790 series card or above, or an A-Series 7400K APU or above.[1]
- Monitor's native resolution must be one of the following: 1366 X 768 @ 60Hz, 1600 X 900 @ 60Hz, 1920 X 1080 @ 60Hz, 1920 X 1200 @ 60Hz, 2560 X 1440 @ 60Hz, 1920 X 1080 @ 120Hz.[1]
- 4K Ultra HD VSR support requires one of the following cards: Radeon R9 285, Radeon R9 380 Series, AMD Radeon R9 Fury Series or newer
Enable Anisotropic Filtering
- Only works with DirectX 9 and OpenGL games
- Under Settings (gear icon) > Graphics > Advanced
- Enable Anisotropic Filtering and set the value to 16
Enable GPU color space conversion
- Can help with oversaturated colours on non-sRGB displays[2][3]
- May interfere with other monitor control applications[4]
- Under Settings (gear icon) > Display
- Enable Custom Color
- Disable Color Temperature Control
Enable Radeon Super Resolution (RSR)
- Requires at least Adrenalin version 22.3.1.
- Requires RDNA-based and newer discrete GPUs (RX 5000 (as of 22.7.1) and RX 6000).
- Driver-level spatial upscaling feature that is built on the same algorithm as AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 1.0 technology. It delivers near-native resolution and increased performance across thousands of games.
- Supports exclusive and borderless fullscreen.
Radeon Image Sharpening (RIS)
- Similar to NVidia's Image Scaling (NIS).
- Requires at least Adrenalin version 22.3.1.
- Driver-level sharpening filter to enhance visuals in any application (games, video playback and productivity applications).
Issues Fixed
Install Adrenalin 22.6.x for Legacy GPUs
- As of June 2022, AMD has stopped supporting their older legacy GPUs with game optimsations and features. Final driver is released here Radeon Software 22.6.1 for Legacy Radeon GPUs.
Corruption in OpenGL titles on driver 22.7.1 and later
- Rollback to an earlier driver 22.6.1 or before.
Install Adrenalin 2020 driver on Windows 8.1
- Unsupported by AMD, will not receive official support as they do not support Windows 8.1 anymore, although most non-DirectX 12 games will run fine.
- As of June 21 2022 the final Windows 7 compatible driver released is [1]
