Radeon Settings System Tray

[HolyDori]

Hello LinusTech Community,

 

I have something super simple that I just may  be overthinking. In my system tray on Winodws® 10 there is 

 

Radeon Settings > Graphics Profile

 

there is 3 options:

Optimize Performance

Balanced

Optimize Image Quality

 

Which one would be the BEST option if im overclocking my RX 580 through Global Wattman ? 

 

Thank you guys for the time to help,

 

Holy,

Holy,

I've never seen that in the sys tray before.  If you're going to OC, why not just open Radeon Settings and set your values there?

I use Global Wattman to OC and currently already set values, but my worry is does that option in my system tray affect or effect my OC as well.

This does not change your OC.  This changes rendering quality.  Lower quality = higher FPS and higher quality = lower FPS.

Would you recommend keeping it on Balanced then ? I usually look for best image quality, but great FPS as well. So like Maxed settings only with certain things tweaked if needed.

The difference is small enough that I would leave it on "high quality".  The only real reason to change it is if you are going for benchmark records where it can get you a few hundred extra points on top of a ~10k point score..

Thank you very much, that cleared things up. Couldn't find information anywhere.
