I think it would be really great if Radeon Boost could be improved to work like this. You choose a target minimum framerate and Radeon Boost dynamically adjusts the resolution to maintain that FPS.

I don't know if this is possible but I think it would be awesome if that could be implemented.

Currently it's very simplistic I think. It seems to just cut your resolution down to whatever % you set it to, when you are moving or your mouse is moving.

for awhile it was one of those features I avoided because it sounded dumb and terrible lol. but.... it's actually not? at least on my display, using the max quality, it literally isnt noticeable, just ends up looking like a bit of motion blur, and the framerate spike really does help the game feel responsive and in the case of a game like cyberpunk where I can dip below 60 fps at times, it actually helps smooth those dips out.

the only annoying part is when using rivatuner to display hardware stats, the rivatuner display gets the resolution scaled down with the game as well, so its constantly fuzzing the edges of the text with every moouse movement. other than that quirk though, like i said im actually impressed.

Having come from Nvidia, I'm just getting my head round the AMD software and just wondering if there are any optimal settings I should use in Adrenalin to get better performance?

To be clear, I'm not talking about overclocking as thats a separate issue I'm trying to deal with. I just mean any generic settings/tweaks that everyone does to make it less onerous on your system.

For example, I've just finished the most common Windows 10 tweaks to optimize my system so I would be surprised if there isn't a list of unnecessary features/processes in Adrenalin that can be turned off.

(Not a tech person.)

All three of the technologies do almost the same thing, adjusting internal resolution in response to input or performance, but they all work in different ways.

CAS does dynamic resolution scaling and sharpening. (Sort of like a poor man's FSR.)

Radeon Boost dynamically adjusts resolution in response to player input. (It therefore reduces the internal resolution and boosts performance during moments of action, when there are a lot of key presses.)

FSR renders at a lower internal resolution then resamples it up to a higher resolution, it also has options for dynamic scaling.

I've only had occasion to try CAS (in Cyberpunk), and Boost (in Destiny 2), both of them, I felt, were a reasonable tradeoff between performance and image quality, and from what I've read FSR is even better! In my opinion AMD has three pretty fucking fantastic performance enhancement technologies, they all do sorta the same thing, but they do it in response to different circumstances.

My question: Is FSR the death of CAS and Boost (both of which I have an entirely irrational fondness for), or is there a way that FSR, CAS, and Boost can play well together, or enhance each other?

I know this is dumb of me, but I'm always a little sad to see good/cool technology retired. cries in amd dual graphics

Hi everyone. I'm just hoping somebody can spare a little time to help me with some issues I've been having with my new graphics card.
Here's my build components

Intel i5-10600K 4.1GHz 6-core processor
Scythe FUMA 2 51.17 CFM CPU cooler
MSI Z490-A PRO ATX LGA1200 motherboard
PNY XLR8 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 RAM
Western Digital Blue SN550 2TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD (this one is for games)
SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB 2.5" SSD (this one's for the OS)
Toshiba 2TB 3.5" 7200 RPM hard drive (this one's for storage)
Hellhound PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU
Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX mid tower case (mesh front with 3 extra case fans)
ADATA XPG Core Reactor 650W 80+ Gold Certified Modular ATX Power Supply

The games that I've been running aren't demanding but I've been experiencing a number of problems that I can't seem to resolve. And since it's a new card there's not much relative advice out there.
For example, when I'm playing Fallout New Vegas I'm getting an awful lot of stuttering with certain environmental elements like trees and rocks glowing with every step I take. Arkham Asylum has stuttering issues as well. With Final Fantasy 13 there's driver issues that make the game crash every time I try to attack in combat. I'm getting scanlines in pretty much every game with emulators like Dolphin and PPSSPP. I could go on but I think that's enough examples to illustrate.

I used to own an Nvidia card in my last PC so I don't have much experience configuring AMD. If anyone can offer input/suggestions/tutorial links I'd be really appreciative. Thanks.

Since this is semi confusing here is a list of each of them and what they do.

Radeon Boost

• Set in driver (Graphics)

• Only supported in a few games

• Dynamically adjusts resolution when moving mouse/controller to boost FPS when moving camera.

• Configurable from 83.3%, 66% or 50% for lowest resolution

• Faster movement = lower resolution.

• Full resolution when idling

• Include benefits from Anti-Lag built in

Radeon Image Sharpening (RIS)

• Set in driver (Graphics)

• Configurable from 10% -> 100% in 10% increments

• Works on all AMD GCN or newer hardware for basically all games (DX9, DX11, DX12, Vulkan)

Setting: https://i.imgur.com/YPkZGtv.png

FidelityFx CAS

• OpenSource Contrast Adaptive Sharpening, similar to RIS above.

• Works better, as its done in engine by the developers.

• Has optional advanced upscaler

  • Open the PowerPoint file and check slides 12-14, 33-36 specifically. 84-88 has sample images too

• Game Options depend on developer

  • Some offer dynamic upscaling, some static, some offer fixed and some offer sharpness amount adjustment.

• Works on all hardware including Nvidia.

Settings: Game specific

Sapphire Trixx Boost

• Developed by Sapphire

  • Limited GPU support, works on reference GPUs and their brand, support for non-sapphire non-reference is limited

• Creates a custom resolution that you pick while in game (some games don't show it)

• Uses GPU upscaling to go to native resolution

• Also uses RIS above

Note on Radeon Boost: I haven't used it in a while but it used to offer a tiny grid at the top left of your monitor. 1 dot = full resolution, 2 = 83.3%, 3 = 66.6% and 4 = 50%. You could also hold right shift key down to force it to go to the lowest resolution w/o moving mouse for comparisons. Works best for people who like motion blur since it helps to hide it. Also worked well with DSR to super sample resolution to say 1440p from 1080p native, then "boost" it back to native when moving. Gives better IQ overall while not hurting FPS while in combat / active.

Note on Trixx Boost: Many games offer render resolution sliders built in which is basically the same thing.

Hi, is there anyone that knows what games support Radeon Boost as of now, cause i checked initial list of games and was wondering if they increased it?

My friend has a gtx 1650 and wants to get elden ring to higher fps, he is not too good with computers so i was searching for some techs from nvidia but didnt find anything, need help

I'd love if they could add an option to let us choose a target framerate for Radeon Boost instead of relying on us moving the screen to make it work. Destiny 2 for instance, I run it at 60fps 80% of the time but some areas are heavier for some reason and Radeon Boost as it is now does nothing for me.

Let us choose between setting a target framerate or activating it when moving the screen (like it is now). What do you guys think?

Does anyone know what this "Radeon Boost" is?

It links to https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/radeon-boost but the page returns a 404.

Also, I saw a banner advertising the Adrenalin 2020 drivers (https://i.imgur.com/GGsbFhk.png). Are they actually out yet or is this a premature announcement?

I was testing around with the new feature a little bit and was hoping for noticeable better performance while losing not too much image quality.

When it comes to image quality it is doing really well in my opinion. Can't complain on that aspect.

But performance wise it is not doing much, if anything at all on my end. I expected like 10 or 20 fps more like I've seen in a lot of videos but for me it is mostly the same than just regular 1080p.

I tried 1600x900 and 1280x720 both looked good but I was only getting 5 FPS more than before.

I tested it in a lot of different games: Lost Ark, CP2077, Rocket League, just to name a few. Am I doing something wrong or why is it doing so much less than in the Videos I saw?

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!
