Radeon™ Chill is an intelligent power-saving feature for Radeon™ graphics that dynamically regulates framerate based on your movements in-game1.

Built to be cooler, quicker and quieter, Radeon Chill delivers an amazing gaming experience. During peak gameplay, Radeon Chill works to deliver the full framerate potential of Radeon graphics. As movement decreases, Radeon Chill reduces your gameplay framerate. Designed to save power, lower temperature, and increase battery life, Radeon Chill enables high performance graphics when you battle and saves power when you explore.

Radeon Chill empowers the Radeon™ RX 500 series by enabling cool, low-power game support to League of Legends® and Dota®2. Let’s look at some of the benefits of Radeon Chill in these E-Sports titles.
