Radeon Profile Tool (abbreviated RadeonPro) is designed and used for AMD/ATI video cards to automatically launch graphic setting profiles for certain games rather than manual activation that AMD VISION Engine Control Center (ATI Catalyst Control Center) requires. It also features more detailed, and more in-depth graphic and performance settings that include: Anti-Aliasing, texture filtering, CrossfireX settings, and even CPU affinity settings. It's ability to automatically launch profiles and even automatically launch AMD/ATI profiles renders the software hassle-free compared to AMD/ATI's profile activation which is manual.
