Now, Enhanced Sync is another system that works in conjunction with FreeSync (you don’t need an Enhanced Sync display), in fact, it’ll work with any display. Chill is not enabled by default, users will still need to turn this on, but it just means that all games can take advantage of it unless AMD says otherwise. This isn’t a new feature, as it was introduced last year, but this time around, Chill is now available by default as a black list, rather than working on only select games (white list).

When movement is detected, be it from the user or a character moving on screen, the drivers will kick in and work at full speed. The idea is that when you are stationary or there is little going on, the drivers will slow down the rendering engine, saving power in the process. The default hotkey for accessing the Overlay is +R.įor those that need a quick reminder, Radeon Chill is a type of power-saving rendering mode that adjusts frame rates based on movement in the game. It provides direct access to the ReLive features, and you can turn on and off many of the advanced features that Radeon software now comes with, such as Chill, FreeSync, frame limiter (FRTC), and adjust color settings (so you can brighten up dark places or adjust other colors). Overlay is, as the name implies, and overlay for games that shows you the same system specs, utilization, and performance, but with extra functions on top. This is not to say that there are no performance improvements, in fact, there are quite a few, but most of the bullet points of this release center around new features and updates to existing ones.
#Amd link with 2 monitors update#
Radeon Adrenalin edition has quite the long list of features, and is probably the biggest update to the software stack since Crimson was initially launched in 2015.ĪMD wanted to point out from the start that this launch isn’t focused on performance, but feature development. While AMD users will now be familiar with Radeon Crimson, and Crimson ReLive, the next release of the software stack comes in the form of Adrenalin, deliberately dropping the ‘e’ as this is named after the Adrenalin Rose (keeping in with the whole red theme).

Part of that ongoing development also entailed a yearly refresh of functions, and a new name. Not only was the entire user interface completely overhauled, but AMD also delivered a commitment to keeping it up-to-date with new game optimizations and features. A couple of years ago, AMD started on a path to dramatically overhaul its driver development process, and bring it forward into a modern world.
