AMD Software includes the following feature set: Radeon Anti-Lag reduces input latency.
[9] Radeon Boost also uses image upscaling to increase performance, but unlike AMD's other technologies, it does this only at certain times, such as when rapidly moving the mouse.
This is interpreted as an action-heavy scene where image quality can temporarily be decreased without much noticeable effect.
In supported games, this is done automatically according to a user's AMD Software settings; otherwise, it requires some configuration in-game.
[11] Radeon Chill lowers performance when the AMD drivers detect idle moments in games and can set frame rate caps.
[7] Smart Access Memory enables potential performance boosts on systems that use both AMD Ryzen CPUs and Radeon video cards.
[12] AMD Link allows users to stream content to mobile devices, compatible Smart TVs,[b] and other PCs with Radeon video cards, enabling them to use their PC and game on them remotely.
AMD Software is targeted to support all function blocks present on a GPU's or an APU's die.
The device driver also supports AMD TrueAudio, a SIP block to perform sound-related calculations.
In 2019 starting with version 19.5.1 it was officially discontinued, in favor of DirectX 12 and Vulkan (built upon Mantle) raise in popularity.
[23][24] OpenCL support will be lost, but it can be recovered by copying the relevant files from a previous package like Radeon Software 15.11.1 Beta.
ROCm 6.0 was released on February 14, 2024, and supports the RX 7900 XTX, 7900 XT and 7900 GRE, alongside Radeon Pro W7900 and W7800 graphics cards.
The main AMD GPU software stacks are fully supported on Linux: GPUOpen for graphics, and ROCm for compute.
They do so by using the amdgpu and amdgpu-pro shell scripts, and provide package archives for e.g. apt and rpm.
[38] support Starting with version 4.9 (released on 4 September 2004) the Catalyst driver package included the ATI Catalyst Control Center,[47] a new software application for manipulating many hardware functions, such as 3D settings, monitor controls and video options.
It shows a small 3D preview and allows the user to see how changes to the graphics settings affect the quality of the rendered image.
