Powerful hardware is simply not enough if not paired with the respective software, besides the drivers; with the Radeon Software Andrenalin Edition, AMD has introduced technologies such as Radeon Overlay, for easy access to common driver settings, without the need to exit the running application.

To be more exact, in the Radeon Overlay Desktop menu we get options for:

-Radeon Relive

-Radeon FRTC (Frame Rate Target Control)

-Radeon FreeSync

-Color

Two extra options are available in the In-Game menu:

-Performance Monitoring

-Radeon Chill

 

FRTC is one of the Radeon Software features that makes sure the graphics card does not consume extra power, which would not contribute to better gameplay. The user is allowed to specify the maximum framerate a game should not exceed, via the Radeon Software control panel.

Radeon Chill contributes even more to power saving by monitoring user input in order to understand when action takes place on the screen, but also when the display remains in a static state; when the action in-game is reduced, Radeon Chill does reduce FPS automatically, but without degrading the gaming experience. As soon as a key is pressed or mouse cursor movement is noticed, the Radeon Chill feature will ramp up the frame rate instantaneously, so the gameplay will not be affected. AMD does recommend enabling Chill with some of the well-known eSports titles such as LoL, DOTA 2 or Overwatch.
