AMD Smart Technology1

AMD smart technologies enhance system performance and efficiency by quickly and dynamically directing power where it’s needed and leveraging the synergies of AMD Ryzen™ CPUs and AMD Radeon™ GPUs to max out your game performance, reduce latency in your favorite games and play longer unplugged.

Discover Smart Technologies

SmartShift Max

Pure Performance

AMD SmartShift Max1 dynamically shifts power between AMD Ryzen™ processors and AMD Radeon™ graphics in your laptop to help improve gaming, video editing, 3D rendering, content creation and productivity. Gamers can get a graphics performance boost when gaming, while Content Creators can get extra horsepower needed to finish their tasks quickly.

SmartShift Eco

Longer gameplay unplugged

AMD SmartShift Eco lets you play longer unplugged — from 55 minutes to nearly three hours4 of gameplay! When on the go, games use the AMD Ryzen™ processors’ integrated graphics. When plugged in, the laptop automatically shifts to AMD Radeon™ graphics for full-performance gaming.

SmartShift RSR

Upscale your gameplay while maintaining high FPS

AMD SmartShift RSR1 adds a layer of intelligence to Radeon Super Resolution2 (RSR). While gaming, SmartShift RSR automatically divides the placement of game rendering and upscaling allowing gamers to enjoy the most demanding visual features, including raytracing, while maintaining the high standards of performance expected with AMD Radeon graphics.

SmartAccess Graphics

Max gaming performance when you need it

Automatically determines whether to use dGPU or APU based on workload with AMD SmartAccess Graphics1. Experience full-speed gaming while maintaining efficient everyday computing with automatic graphics, direct to display technology.

Smart Access Memory™

Reach higher FPS without the latency on desktop or laptop

AMD Smart Access Memory™3 technology unlocks higher performance across select titles by providing AMD Ryzen™ processors with immediate, full access to AMD Radeon™ graphics memory for faster data transfers between the two.

SmartAccess Video

An overall faster video editing and transcoding experience

AMD SmartAccess Video accesses the video compression engines across both the AMD Ryzen™ processor and the AMD Radeon™ graphics to distribute video related encoding and decoding tasks to provide faster transcoding speeds, fewer dropped frames and a smooth editing experience. Experience SmartAccess Video in DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.5 or later.
