How to set up A Radeon 580 series for music DAW production only.

Hi, Is it possible? when I installed the software it installed everything for gaming which I believe uses more CPU.. (I could be wrong because I'm no expert)

I would like to configure it so it is at it's best for DAW use but it seems quite complicated and i could easily mess it up, is there a tutorial video explaining how to do it in simple terms or can anyone on this forum explain how to do it?..if it possible of course.

Thank you for any help.

Nothing you can do with a GPU will make any significant difference with a DAW, unless of course you're adding video to your music. Even then I'd bet there's no significant or minor difference to be made.

Just leave it the way it is and be happy. The RX580 is probably one of the best/most reliable GPUs ever made.

Yes, you can optimize your Radeon RX 580 for DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) production by tweaking a few settings. Since gaming features can consume more resources, you’ll want to disable unnecessary options. Here’s how:

  1. Install Radeon Software – Open the AMD Radeon Software (Adrenalin).
  2. Disable Gaming Features – Go to Settings > Graphics and switch to “Standard” or “Custom” mode. Disable Radeon Boost, Anti-Lag, and Chill.
  3. Optimize for DAW – Under Display, turn off FreeSync and any enhancements like Radeon Image Sharpening.
  4. Power Settings – In Performance > Tuning, set the GPU to a balanced or power-saving mode to reduce background usage.
  5. Update Drivers – Ensure you're using the latest stable drivers, not beta versions.
  6. DAW Optimization – In Windows, go to Power Options and select "High Performance" to reduce latency.
