ADLX Programming Guide

The ADLX Programming Guide contains general information for developers to get started; outlining the benefits, system requirements, and set up configuration to start programming with ADLX APIs.

Download the ADLX SDK prior to programming with ADLX for access to documentation, sample code, and ADLX headers. The ADLX library is installed with the driver as a .dll file, and applications can use the library to access supported interfaces and methods.

Featured APIs

Refer to the ADLX SDK documentation for a detailed list of ADLX supported functionalities.

Examples of commonly used ADLX categories and their interfaces include:

Display	3D Graphics	Performance Monitoring	GPU Tuning
AMD FreeSync™ Technology	Performance Boosting Features	GPU/CPU Utilization	VRAM Tuning
Color Settings	Visual Quality Enhancement Features	GPU Clock Speeds	Fan Tuning
Scaling	Input Lag Reduction Features	GPU Power Consumption	Power Tuning
Custom Resolution	Power Saving Features	GPU Temperature	Auto Tuning
AMD Eyefinity Multi-Display Configuration	AMD Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC)	GPU Fan Speeds
Vertical Sync		GPU Frame Rate
