After enabling the image sharpening option, the application will scale up lower-resolution in-game settings, making it look like you’re running the game on a higher resolution. You should use a Sharpness % of around 50 to 60%. For lower-end PCs, feel free to increase this option to up to 80%. I suggest playing a game to see what works best for you. Lower your in-game resolution and increase the Image Sharpening Sharpness to find a good middle ground.

Advanced Graphics Settings
To further improve your gaming performance on your PC, I suggest disabling the Wait for Vertical Refresh option below. This will otherwise use V-Sync on any game you play, making it look like you’re running it at a lower frame rate. In your Advanced Graphics settings, feel free to copy my settings. These should be set like this by default for the most part. Low-end PCs should disable Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering.

AMD Radeon Game Settings
You also have the option to change these settings for each game using the AMD Radeon Software.
