What AMD GPU Tuner is

AMD GPU Tuner is a free Windows desktop and command-line project for monitoring and tuning AMD Radeon GPUs. Manual controls cover GPU voltage, core and VRAM clocks, memory timing, power limits, and driver fan curves. Monitoring can display clocks, temperatures, hotspot, power, fan speed, voltage, load, and frame statistics when a compatible frame-data source is available. Users can save supported driver settings in JSON profiles and see which settings applied or were skipped when loading them. Automatic tuning compares candidate settings with a baseline under a running workload, though the maker describes it as experimental. An adaptive governor can apply locally learned per-game settings and optionally run tuning experiments. Benchmark tuning guides manually started 3DMark runs; the app does not install or launch that benchmark. It requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, an AMD Radeon GPU, and an Adrenalin driver with ADLX runtime. Hardware tuning also requires an elevated terminal.

Who it suits

It suits AMD Radeon owners on Windows who want local GPU monitoring, profiles, and manual tuning controls. Users interested in automatic tuning should account for its experimental status and the listed system requirements.

Good to know, and what to watch

  • Free and MIT-licensed project code
  • Controls voltage, clocks, power limits, and fan curves
  • Saves supported settings to JSON profiles
  • Stores configuration and diagnostics locally
  • Requires Windows 10 or 11 64-bit
  • Requires an AMD Radeon GPU and compatible Adrenalin driver
  • Hardware tuning requires an elevated terminal
  • Automatic tuning is experimental

Getting started

  1. Open the project website
  2. Use Windows 10 or 11 64-bit with an AMD Radeon GPU
  3. Install an Adrenalin driver with the ADLX runtime
  4. Run hardware tuning from an elevated terminal
  5. Optionally provide PresentMon or RTSS for frame data

Limits to check

The bridge tunes only the first discrete GPU reported by ADLX, falling back to the first GPU, and offers no selector or simultaneous multi-GPU tuning. Automatic tuning is described as experimental.

The verdict

AMD GPU Tuner offers a broad set of Radeon controls and keeps its configuration and diagnostic data local. It is limited to the specified Windows and AMD setup, and automatic tuning is explicitly experimental.

Questions people ask

Is AMD GPU Tuner free?

Yes. The Free and open source plan costs nothing, and the code is MIT licensed.

Which systems are supported?

It requires Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), an AMD Radeon GPU, and a compatible Adrenalin driver with ADLX runtime.

Can it adjust fan curves and power limits?

Yes. Manual controls include driver fan curves and power limits, along with voltage, core clocks, VRAM clock, and timing.

Does it install or automatically launch 3DMark?

No. Benchmark tuning guides manually started 3DMark runs and compares graphics scores.

Where are settings and diagnostics stored?

Configuration, profiles, learned settings, telemetry, recovery journals, and diagnostic logs are stored locally. Reports and logs may contain GPU identifiers, executable names, and local paths.

What the maker publishes

Adaptive mode
The adaptive governor can apply locally learned per-game settings and optionally run live tuning experiments. source
Automatic tuning
Auto-Tune compares candidate settings with a baseline under a running workload, and the maker describes automatic tuning as experimental. source
Benchmark integration
Benchmark tuning guides manually started 3DMark runs and compares graphics scores; the app does not purchase, install, or automatically launch 3DMark. source
Dynamic Voltage
Dynamic Voltage selects validated voltage offsets by live core-clock thresholds and requires the ADLX MGT2_1 interface. source
Frame data integrations
Per-frame data can come from PresentMon, with RTSS as a fallback when PresentMon is unavailable. source
License and affiliation
The project code is MIT licensed, and the maker states it is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by AMD or Intel. source
Local data
Configuration, profiles, learned settings, telemetry, recovery journals, and diagnostic logs are stored locally. source
Manual tuning
Supported controls include GPU voltage, core clocks, VRAM clock and timing, power limits, and driver fan curves. source
Notable limit
The bridge selects the first discrete GPU reported by ADLX, falling back to the first GPU, and provides no GPU selector or simultaneous multi-GPU tuning. source
Privacy
Creating a diagnostics report saves it locally and does not upload it; reports and logs may contain GPU identifiers, executable names, and local paths. source
Profiles
Profiles save supported driver settings to JSON and report applied or skipped settings when loaded. source
Purpose
AMD GPU Tuner monitors and tunes AMD Radeon GPUs on Windows through a desktop app and command line. source
Requirements
The project requires Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, an AMD Radeon GPU, and an Adrenalin driver with the ADLX runtime; hardware tuning requires an elevated terminal. source
Telemetry
Monitoring can show core and memory clocks, temperature, hotspot, power, fan speed, voltage, load, and frame statistics when a compatible frame source is available. source
