You don’t want eye candy in your casino games. These games should be on the lowest setting possible. To do this, open Radeon Software and go “Gaming”. Under “Quality Settings”, enable Performance or Ultra Performance. This will optimize how your GPU works. Under “Power”, set “Power Management Mode” to “Low Latency” or “Balanced”. Playing slot machines and poker online? If it’s “Low Latency”, they’re unplayable. “Balanced” is perfect. Don’t disable “PowerTune Technology” – it’ll help your cards stay cool. Leave “Anti-Aliasing” and “Anisotropic Filtering” alone - these games don’t need it. If playing through a web browser, make sure the in game settings (like in Vegas) are also on low. Your AMD card is wayyy overpowered for these games. The only thing that matters is making stuff as fast as possible. Less eye candy = faster game. If you encounter weird graphical artifacts in these games, lower your “Shader clock” under “Clock” by 10%. Should solve the issue. Fingers crossed for a win! 🎰

You don't want to push casino games that far; just turn everything up as much as possible. On AMD Radeon, that means setting the resolution to be your current display's native resolution, keeping anti-aliasing on low (or even turning it off), raising texture quality to high, and keeping shadows and effects at medium. You can turn VSync off if you are getting screen tearing, provided your framerate remains consistent. Use Radeon Software to enable "Gaming Mode"; this will help the card focus on stability rather than eye candy. Poker and slots will run perfectly at these settings. Don't be a hero.

For poker, video slots, roulette, blackjack, and other casino games, you don’t need ultra-high-resolution graphics. For AMD Radeon settings, try “Power” of 10 (Power Saving) or 5 (Balanced), so that you stay cool. Choose “Performance” or “Ultra Performance” under Quality Settings for higher FPS (frame rates). Turn off anti-aliasing; set the Shadows quality to Medium. Most casino games are 2D or have few polygons, so there’s no reason to go overboard. Update your drivers, and stick with a “light” setup.

For casino games, performance trumps visuals. Within Radeon Software, set Power Profiling to “Maximum Performance, ” then disable overlays. If you must drop resolution, make sure you still get 60+ frames per second. For things such as anti-aliasing, turn it off; most casino games are 2D or pseudo-3D and won’t benefit from it. Overclock your card if possible, but watch the temperatures. Slots and other table games aren’t taxing applications for GPUs, so even mid-range AMD cards like an RX 6600 or something higher will absolutely stomp on them with default settings. Poker is a mostly CPU-dependent application, so your GPU should have no problems handling the user interface. The only time you might want to tweak anything related to graphics is if you notice lags, but casino games are incredibly friendly to your GPU. Good luck!

Casinos aren’t exactly graphically intensive, either, and you can just set AMD Software to “Power Saving” or “Balanced” mode, with max resolution, lower AA (anti-aliasing), and shadows – no one’s paying attention, especially in multi-table poker rooms. Make sure FreeSync is turned on for the best gaming experience. You can overclock your card some, but the default is typically fine. You want high FPS, not lots of bells and whistles.
