Difference between revisions of "AMD Radeon Software"

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(Renamed first section like the nvidia's one, nothing (except bloat perhaps) is really essential. Added oversaturation setting mention. AF not working with new games.. is it actually laziness on amd's side, or just a legit limitation like with AA?)

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]
  1. Under Settings (gear icon) > Display
  2. Enable Custom Color
  3. Disable Color Temperature Control

Issues Fixed

Install Adrenaline 2020 driver on Windows 8.1

Unsupported by AMD, will not receive support as they only support Windows 7 and 10 although non-DirectX 12 games will run fine.
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.

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

Useful Links

AMD's official website where you can find support and download drivers.
