Hey, recently got a 9070 XT (upgraded from my 3070) and I've been testing amd stuff and It's amazing how well adrenaline have everything you ever need.

This guide is to make sure your games have the best balance between frametimes, input lag and NO MICROSTUTTERS as much as possible. This is a general applied setting for all games but in case a specific game reacts badly you can edit per game profile too.

Overall screenshot of how the settings should look like, explanation below:

Step 3 - In case you have a RDNA4 card you can enable FSR4 on a driver level, any game with fsr 3.1 will automatically load fsr4 instead. This is also controled by amd with driver updates.

Step 4 - Anti-lag reduces input lag overall specially in situations your GPU is maxed out at 100%. Some games might react bad to this but I have yet to find any.

Step 5 and 6 - This is purely subjective but I found image sharpening at 70% in games with TAA to be a workaround of having a sharper image.

Step 7 - This is the equivalent of nvidia fastsync. It reduces tearing\eliminates it without causing input lag. It's not as effective as vsync but if you care about input lag this should be on, otherwise just turn on vsync (and off in games always).

Step 8 - Framelimit directly at a driver level by amd. You should always cap your fps 4 fps BELOW YOUR MONITOR REFRESH RATE. In my Case its 116 since my monitor is 120hz. Why? So it stays inside the freesync range and vsync doesn't get triggered, preventing inputlag and frametime spikes.

FAQ

- Why not use AMD CHILL to cap fps?
AMD CHILL only applies correctly if you do per-game individually. A lot of games won't detected if enabled globally. Acording to research it seems amd chill does some kind of game-injection that some engines reject. Frame-rate Target-Control seems to work more consistently in my experience.

- What should I disable first when a game behaves weirdly?
DIsable anti-lag then enhanced Sync

- What if a game has a built-in framerate limiter?
Some games, while rare, have problematic built in limiters but when it's well done it works better than the global setting. So this should be the priority: IN-GAME FPS LIMITER - AMD FRAMELIMITER \ RTSS. Some games only lets you choose pre-determined values like 30-60-100-120-200+ FPS and not a specific value. In this case put it off \ unlimited and use the amd one, since they wont be optimized to use the -4 fps rule.

- Is RTSS safe to use if I don't want to use Adrenaline?
Yes its safe and it seems to be the more consistent in terms of applying the limit\async. Practically works on every game, you just have to set it up correctly and have it run on the background (Disable Enhanced Sync \ forced vsync in adrenaline or else you will get frametime issues)

Enjoy and comment your experience bellow. In case you have more tips let me know too :), this was purely me testing as I am extremely sensitive to motion smoothness.

## Special thanks to Elliove and Dat_Boi_John for some additional information, crucial to this guide. Will update accordingly.

Also interested in overclocking but not sure where to begin.

Just made the switch to AMD, thing are going (mostly) great so far! I noticed a handful of settings in the Graphics tab of Adrenalin (RSR, Anti-lag, Chill etc.) and was wondering if any cause issues to you longer time AMD users.

I'm a bit new to all of this, I appreciate any information!

Hi guys , i have a very good desktop , but Im new in AMD , can you guys tell me the Best settings possible for Quality on AMD Adrenaline 25.12.1 , im used to NVIDIA , só i dont very well the best settings , and some of them i dont even know what they do , the good and the bad , or in wich case i should use them , if there anyone out there who could tell me all 1 by 1 would BE awesome

I Saw some videos but they all focus mostly on performance, of course i want performance but Quality is my main objective , and also understanding for what games should use what

Yo folks, just built my first new pc recently and glad to say i went with a RX 9070 XT Sapphire Pulse. Having a blast with it so far, rocking it with a ryzen 9800x3d and a 1440p 180hz monitor.
Ive tinkered with undervolting and overclocking my cpu and my gpu (currently -100mv, 2750 vram and +0 frequency, running stable).
One thing I can't seem to really understand much is all the settings in adrenalin and how to best use them. I play mostly casual fps (helldivers 2, bf1, risk of rain 2), some rpgs (witcher 3, shadow of war) and some other random titles, from old to a bit new. Nothing super super demanding like cyberpunk, but who knows in the future.
I was wondering how to set up my settings to get the most out of my experience. I tend to prefer performance over graphics, but with this gpu i believe i can get both! I just dont knwo how or when to set up v-sync, fsr, capped frame rate, all the radeon boost and chill and whatever.
Maybe a couple scenarios, like 1- games i have ~300fps and 2-games i have ~100fps ? I dont know, how are your settings like?
Thank you!

I just got my 6800 XT. Any settings to change in the Radeon Settings? Just wanna get the most out of my new gpu. Thanks for any help!!

What are some of the AMD app settings that you use for almost every game? For example, I use radeon Vsync and radeon chill.

Also, which one do you think is the most useful/effective for games in general?

Hi i just recently got an AMD RX 6600 and I was wondering if anyone here has good settings for me to use whether it be visual or for performance just so I can maintain a high fps and see enemies better in games like Marvel Rivals, Valorant, CS2, OW.

I want to have the best optimized settings for the most fps for my rx9070 but also the best image quality. What can I change?

What are the best setting for games?(performance wise)

Just made the switch from Nvidia to AMD! First time interacting with Adrenaline.

Which settings are recommended to flip on? Should I be ignoring these settings in-game, or will Adrenaline override anyway?

I mostly play single player games at 1440p/144hz.

Like in the title i need the best settings for amd software with low latency for competitive games like BF6 PUBG CS2 - I have Ryzen 7 7800x3D, 32 ram- 2x16 Corsair Vengance 6000mhz expo enabled , 9060 XT 16gb.

I forgot to mentoin i have 360hz montor Asus ROG but not oled ist fast ips i fell like the games dont feel smooth i dont know why. 1080p res only

I was having issues with diablo last night and accidentally set everything to off under graphics without saving what was on by default. Apply the hotfix driver fixed the issue so I didn't need to mess with settings.

Curious what are the default enabled settings, and also what are the best settings to leave enabled? Wanted graphics settings to fully optimize the ally.

With the recent driver updates I wanted to check what settings should be enabled and disabled within the AMD radeon software. To maintain a good balance of performance and image quality.

What settings are people using?

I got my rx 5700 xt a couple months ago and I've left it in standard mode, but now in valorant an nvidia low latency thing was just introduced so it led me to explore what amd had. Which one of the graphics settings like radeon anti lag are actually worth turning on? and If I play games like valorant would I get better performance by putting the card in eSports mode?

Are these settings good? They have a high impact on how the game looks and performs and I always find myself tweaking these to find the best possible balance.

Would love to hear what settings you guys use for the best performance and looks.

(Rest of the settings- Anisotropic Filtering is at 16x, Texture Filtering is at High, Surface Format Optimization is Enabled, and I play with Freesync On)
