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.
- As of June 2022, AMD has stopped supporting their older GCN 1-3 GPUs with game optimisations and features. Final legacy driver is released here.[Note 1]
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.[2]
- 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.[2]
- 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[3][4]
- May interfere with other monitor control applications[5]
- 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 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]
| Manually install drivers without the auto-installer |
|---|
|
Use SAM with every card still supported by the latest drivers (GCN4+)
- This assumes a system (motherboard) that already has it enabled to begin with
| Force Resizable Bar[6] |
|---|
|
Prevent downclocking/poor performance in older titles
| Disable ULPS in registry |
|---|
|
| Use ClockBlocker |
|---|
GPU profiles modify Ryzen CPU settings
| Create a new tuning profile in place of the default ones[7] |
|---|
Issues unresolved
Corruption in OpenGL titles on driver 22.7.1 and later
- Rollback to an earlier driver 22.6.1 or before.[citation needed]
Ultra low latency encoding is broken on pre-RDNA cards
- Rollback to an earlier driver 23.5.2 or before.[8]
