Override<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are three AA modes to choose from, with Multisampling being the least and Supersampling the most graphically demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bedsides the Anti-Aliasing mode feature, AMD provides Morphological Filtering which is a shader-based post process AA technique. You can use this alongside the 3 AA methods mentioned above. AMD claims that the Morphological Filtering Anti-Aliasing mode has a lower impact on performance than other modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you're not using AMD Radeon software to do Anti-Aliasing for you, don't worry about these options. But if you are, then choose them purely based on your personal needs and GPU<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Anisotropic Filtering\/Anisotropic Filtering Level<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAnisotropic Filtering is much like AA, but it applies to textures that are far away or at odd angles (think roads & trees).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set the Anisotropic Filtering level according to your GPU capabilities as it does come with a performance hit. If you need a higher visual quality, you can use a higher setting. For an ideal balance between performance and image quality, use a middle-ground setting like 2x or 4x.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Texture Filtering Quality\/Surface Format Optimization<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTexture Filtering Quality changes the quality of 3D graphics. This feature has probably the least impact on visuals so keep it on Standard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSurface Format Optimization is another setting that has little-to-no impact on games. But AMD claims that it might <\/em>improve performance and lower VRAM usage, so just bank on them and leave it Enabled<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Tessellation Mode<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTessellation Mode enhances object details by adding additional polygons during the rendering process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recommend using AMD optimized <\/strong>or Override application settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor best performance, select Override application settings <\/strong>and limit the level of tessellation to a low value (or even turn it OFF). Setting the Maximum Tessellation Level to a large value (such as x32 or x64) should improve image quality but it comes with a hefty performance cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>OpenGL Triple Buffering<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOpenGL Triple Buffering is another cousin of VSync but it works with OpenGL API applications. Just Disable <\/strong>it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlso, note that this feature requires 'Wait For Vertical Refresh' to be always on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Reset Shader Cache<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nShader Cache stores frequently used game shaders locally which helps in reduced CPU usage and faster load times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should empty this cache occasionally to free up used space and allow for fresh cache files to be generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Display Features<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe're done with the performance side of things. Let's quickly look at the more aesthetic side of AMD software in this section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switch over to the Display tab<\/strong> that's right next to the Graphics tab in the AMD Radeon settings. Here are the main features you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>AMD FreeSync<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhile we suggested keeping Enhanced Sync disabled, AMD FreeSync is something that you SHOULD be using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FreeSync dynamically adapts your monitor's refresh rate to match that of your game (whereas VSync takes the opposite tack, forcing your GPU to match your monitor's rate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have an AMD FreeSync supported monitor, then you're missing out on the frame rate optimization and almost zero screen-tearing if you don't use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Virtual Super Resolution<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow if you have a high-end GPU, you'll love the Virtual Super Resolution feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suppose you have a 1080p monitor. This setting will allow you to use 4K resolution for your game and then scale it down to your monitor's resolution. This produces super-crisp visuals but with a hit on FPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you should use this setting depends on your GPU and if you really need that extra-sharp image quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>GPU Scaling<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGPU Scaling will allow applications that require a specific aspect ratio, to adjust and fit to a different aspect ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use three different configurations depending on what you want:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preserve the aspect ratio of the image<\/li> Stretch the image to fit the full size of your monitor<\/li> Center the image without changing the resolution.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nSet according to your preferred option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Custom Color<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Color settings are solely for aesthetics. These won't affect FPS or performance in any major way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short, you can use them to adjust visual quality without worrying about any effect on performance. A lot of streamers use these settings to make their game look as pleasing as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try changing the brightness, contrast, sharpness, and other color options to see what works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Final Words<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWell, that was a<\/em> lot<\/em> of actions to perform in a single day!<\/p>\n\n\n\nOr maybe not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you configure the best AMD Radeon settings on your PC and realize that you're playing a whole new game, it'll all be more than worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
