I’ve bought an used RX 5600 XT that is arriving this week, this is my first AMD GPU so I’m wondering if there is any setting or app that every AMD user should use. I’ve heard of “resizeable bar” before but I have no ideia what it is and if I should even mess with it. Are there any AMD users out there that can provide me a “Welcome Tour” to AMD? Thanks in advance.

    1. DDU to remove all your old drivers
    2. Download latest drivers from AMD.com
    3. Familiarize yourself with the driver software and features (and the few that are missing).

    Did you consider a new card (even an Arc card)? Or was the used 5600 a really good deal?

    Resizable Bar (aka Smart Access Memory for AMD) is a good thing for any gpu really, I haven’t heard of it having any downsides. You should also use Freesync if you have it, and if not maybe Enhanced Sync idk. I also like turning on Anti-Lag and Contrast Adaptive Sharpening in the driver settings.
