AMD’s massive Adrenalin 2020 Edition update streamlines Radeon Software

It’s that time of year again: Snow’s falling, chestnuts are roasting, and AMD’s huge annual update for Radeon Software is rolling out.

While previous iterations focused on stuffing in new features—to such an extent that I wondered how AMD could further improve its already-outstanding graphics suite—AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition revolves around a gorgeous visual overhaul that puts everything you need in more obvious places. That said, it also comes with some helpful new additions that flesh out existing features, streamline your gaming experience even more, and in the case of the intriguing new Radeon Boost, can potentially supercharge your frame rates in fast-paced games.

Adrenalin 2020 Edition can even act as a unified game launcher in an era of warring platforms.

The latest revision in a now long and consistent line of yearly improvements, AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition makes an already-great graphics control center even better. Let’s dig into the new look, followed by a recap of the new features you’ll find.
