Graphics Adaptor

AMD Catalyst Control Center
AMD Radeon Software
Intel Arc Control
Mesa
Nvidia Control Panel

The current control panel for AMD's graphics drivers (known as Radeon Software Adrenalin as of 2020), 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
  1. Under Settings (gear icon) > Graphics > Advanced
  2. 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]
  1. Under Settings (gear icon) > Display
  2. Enable Custom Color
  3. 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 May 18 2021 the final Windows 7 compatible driver released is Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.5.2
Manually install drivers without the auto-installer
  1. Download and extract the latest AMD Software drivers for your Graphics card
  2. Once the installer fails and says your operating system is unsupported, navigate to where you extracted the driver (usually C:\AMD\
  3. Navigate to C:\AMD\driver version\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\B360768\ or similar, the last 2 folders will differ based on the driver version you download.
  4. Depending on the executable that's available, run ccc_install.exe or ccc2_install.exe

Prevent downclocking/poor performance in older titles

Disable ULPS in registry
  1. Run regedit.exe.
  2. Search for EnableUlps key.
  3. Set its value to 0.
  4. Restart PC to apply the change.

GPU profiles modify Ryzen CPU settings

Create a new tuning profile in place of the default ones[5]

Issues Unresolved

Adrenalin 2020 UI forces enable ReLive

The most essential graphical driver comes already with 300MB of cruft
The control panel is constantly forcing DvrEnable to 1 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AMD\DVR
Hide the the executable
  1. Navigate to <path-to-game>\CNext\CNext (usually the AMD folder inside program files)
  2. Rename AMDRSServ.exe or RSServCmd.exe to something else
