Shader Cache is set to AMD optimized by default and can be disabled globally by setting the feature to off. Shader Cache allows for faster loading times in games and reduced CPU usage by compiling and storing frequently used game shaders, rather than regenerating them each time they are needed. It is recommended to leave this option enabled for an optimal gaming experience.

Surface Format Optimization enables the graphics driver to change rendering surface formats where applicable, which may result in improved performance and lower video memory usage. Texture Filtering Quality has a small impact on performance and image quality, which makes the default setting of Standard the preferred option for the optimal gaming experience. Texture Filtering Quality changes the quality of textures while running 3D applications. The image on the right has no Anisotropic Filtering applied.Īnisotropic Filtering can be applied using Override Application Settings.Īnisotropic Filtering Level can be set to x2, x4, x8 or 16x and should improve image quality at expense of lower FPS. In the example below, the image on the left has Anisotropic Filtering applied, increasing the number of textures on the tree.
Anisotropic FilteringĪnisotropic Filtering can increase and sharpen the quality of textures on surfaces that appear far away or at odd angles, such as road surfaces or trees.Īnisotropic Filtering has a small performance cost (FPS) and can increase image quality in most 3D applications. Morphological Filtering can be set to On or Off.

Morphological Filtering can be applied using Override Enhance Application Settings and requires that the application is running in exclusive full screen mode. The image on the right has no Morphological Filtering applied and has more jagged edges. In the example below, the image on the left has Morphological Filtering applied. Morphological Filtering can have a lower impact on FPS than other AA modes available within Radeon™ Settings, however in some situations it may introduce a subtle blur to the image. Morphological Filtering Morphological Filtering is a Shader based, post process Anti-Aliasing technique that can be used in combination with the three AA modes mentioned above. Selecting Override Application Settings enables different levels of AA to be applied to the 3D application.Īnti-Aliasing Level can be set to x2, x4, or x8 and a higher number should improve image quality at expense of lower FPS. Override Application Settings – Allows Radeon Settings full control over the level of AA applied to the 3D application.Enhance Application Settings – Offers the flexibility of improving on existing AA used in the 3D application, by having the driver apply a second pass of AA.Image quality is controlled via the 3D application graphics settings. Use Application Settings – Provides the 3D application with full control over the level of AA applied.SSAA has the highest impact on FPS of all AA settings within Radeon Settings.Īnti-Aliasing Mode determines whether AA is controlled via the 3D application or Radeon Settings. Sparse Grid Supersampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA): SSAA improves image quality by taking more samples than MSAA and AAA, reducing aliasing from all textures.Adaptive Anti-Aliasing (AAA): AAA improves image quality by reducing aliasing at the edge of textures and from transparent textures.Multisampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA): MSAA improves image quality by reducing aliasing at the edge of textures, however it cannot remove aliasing on transparent textures such as fences.Selecting Anti-Aliasing Mode enables three options: Radeon Settings offers three AA types and each has different characteristics and performance cost. The image on the right has no AA applied and has more jagged edges. In the example below, the image on the left has AA applied. Anti-Aliasing MethodĪnti-Aliasing (AA) improves image quality by reducing jagged edges from textures.Īpplying AA can make an image look smoother and softer, at the expense of lowering FPS. This is explained in the Creating Application Profiles section of this document. If you wish to create customised settings for specific 3D applications, you can create individual application profiles. To access these options open AMD Radeon Settings by right clicking on your desktop and select AMD Radeon Settings.Īny changes made in global settings should apply to all 3D applications upon launch. For most users, the default driver settings offer the best mix of visual quality and performance, measured in frames per second (FPS). Since higher visual quality may impact performance, achieving an optimal gaming experience requires balancing visual quality and performance. AMD Radeon Settings allows users to adjust image quality and the level of detail in games.
