  1. Screen is overlaying the display from another window.


    My screen sometimes shows a faint image from certain other windows or tabs over what I'm currently viewing. The overlay has weird pixelated lines and is very faint yet noticable on many backgrounds and colours. It doesn't show up on screenshots so I fear it may be a hardware issue. Luckily, it disappears after a restart or in most cases simple waiting a few minutes without having the overlay causing window open. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    Ok, I got a question. The options to hide the overlay are confusing. What are the steps to turn on the overlay in-game? Not interested in logging much at the moment. Is Alt-R part of turning it on/off?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    The performance overlay works great in game and I'm impressed with the ReLive recording quality.

    It's the Alt+R desktop panel overlay that isn't showing the correct (Performance and Chill) items still, which is a tad puzzling.

    EDIT
    Scratch that!
    According to AMD's overview '
    Radeon Overlay In-Game menu provides two additional choices, which are:
    • Performance Monitoring
    • Radeon Chill
    So those two options only appear in-game. Apologies for leading people astray.
