AMD VISION Engine Control Center
AMD VISION Engine Control Center
One of the strong points that AMD can use against Intel is obviously the tremendous software suite, applications and integration of many standards towards their hardware. With the components getting closer to each other AMD decided to build a new Control Center, and that's based off what you know as the Catalyst Control Center. It's now renamed as the AMD VISION Engine Control Center and harbors all settings, monitoring features and functions as the driver pathway to many standards. Let's have a peek.
The AMD VISION Engine Control Center functions as the driver suite to all technologies combined really. As you can see above, you can alter power states of the CPUs, so in balanced or high performance mode you can decided in-between what baseline (depending on CPU load) your CPU clock frequency will be. So that in IDLE you'll have a power consumption more to your liking.
We all know these from the good old Catalyst Control Center of course. You pretty much get the same feature set, yet for a 400 Shader Processor based product, optimizations will be tweaked a little more to squeeze out every inch of performance.
In Power Profiles you can now also define energy saving features. So we think that the AMD VISION Engine Control Center really is just the beginning of a new software suite where all technology will be combined, monitored and regulated. Everything comes together here, your graphics, CPU, drivers, applications compatibility like OpenCL, UVD features, post processing options etc..
