New to AMD GPUs, benchmarking tools, tips?

[ksm]

Just replaced my 3070 with 7900 XT.

I used DDU to clean up previous drivers and looked for location where sharers caches might have been to clean them up.
So far, installation went flawlessly, I did a quick test on Resident Evil 2 Remake and Ready or Not, both working well (outside of RoN love for shader stutters, but they are expected and quickly disappeared)

Before the switch I did some benchmarking with default configuration and my custom curve, using MSI Afterburner, so would be able to compare effects on the switch. Anyway I definitely will be messting around with OC/UV so, it make sense to gather information and maybe make a report post in a couple of weeks.

So, the question is, what I can use to measure average FPS and 1% lows?
There seems to be some statistic in Adrenaline driver utility, but I'm not sure if I can use it for 1% lows and how.

Also would be happy to learn any tips about AMD cards in general.

you can use

MSI Afterburner

As far as benchmark goes, i solely use 3dmark for testing overclocks and benchmarking.

Yeah I pretty much don't benchmark any more, just play the games and look to see if performance is acceptable and close to what the actual benchmarking YT channels are seeing.

Adrenalin software allows for OC/UV and overlay monitoring, it's quite nice

Thanks I'll check it.
But I can probably just install and than remove Afterburner.

I used:
TimeSpy, Port Royal.
integrated benchmarks for Shadow of Tomb Raider, Vermintide 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Metro exodus , Arma 3 (YAAB), Gears 5.
Also Resident Evil 2, just running same part of one of bonus challenges.

In general, I prefer game benchmarks but they are less comparable, than synthetics.

Since for me usually it feels better to have higher 1% lows than high average FPS I used Afterburner to get 1% lows, because game benchmarks rarely show them.

Have you looked at all the adrenaline overlay features? I stopped using afterburner when i went to AMD brcause amd imclude all the same features built into there adrenaline software.

Yes, that is a reason for my question. I don't need it anymore for anything else other than making a comparison to my previous GPU.

I'm looking into Adrenaline, and overlay is cool, but I could not find 1% lows yesterday.
There is 99% FPS, but as far as I understand it's not exactly the same?

There is logging feature. Can I use it to to generate 1% lows value myself?
