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.
The Radeon™ RX 570 (4GB) can save up to 21% (18.3 watts) of GPU Package Power when using Radeon™ Chill at 1080p (maintaining an average frame rate above 60 fps) Best looking preset on the game Dota 22.
The Radeon™ RX 570 (4GB) can save up to 43% (16.6 watts) of GPU Package Power when using Radeon™ Chill at 1080p (maintaining an average frame rate above 60 fps) very high settings on the game League of Legends3.
Like the Radeon™ RX 570, the Radeon™ RX 580 also benefits from Radeon Chill. With Radeon Chill, the Radeon™ RX 580 shows more responsiveness, decreased GPU package power and lower GPU temperatures, all while maintaining a great gaming experience. Here is a video to learn more about the benefits of Radeon Chill with the Radeon RX 580.
