Radeon Settings Advisor Recommendations

Radeon Settings Advisor provides recommendations based on the supported features of the installed GPU and attached display(s).  Recommendations are grouped into three categories. 

  1. Gaming - Recommendations include:
    Radeon ReLive – Lets you record your gaming session or stream it live to several streaming services.
    Radeon Chill – Conserves GPU power by selectively limiting frame rates.
    Enhanced Sync – Enables more responsive gaming with reduced input lag.
    VSR – Lets you choose higher display resolutions in games, which are then scaled down to fit your display.
  1. Display - Recommendations include:
    Resolution & Refresh Rate – Sets the display to its native resolution and peak refresh rate making the display appear sharper, with smoother animation.
    FreeSync – Provides smoother animation in games.
    HDR and WCG - High-dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut (WCG) allows your displays to show a broader range of colors.

  2. System - Recommendations include:
    Radeon Software Update – If a newer driver is available it will appear as a recommendation.

NOTE!  Display recommendations would not be available for displays configured in an AMD Eyefinity display group.  
NOTE!  In AMD Crossfire configurations, recommendations apply only to the master GPU and its connected displays.
NOTE!  In Multi-GPU (MGPU) configurations, Radeon Settings Advisor is only available if at least one of the GPUs is supported.
