LEGACY wiki -- DEPRECATED--

Effective 2-22-2023

This wiki will no longer receive updates

NOTE: This Section is entirely optional at this point. AMD Adrenaline is not needed for SteamDeck Tools anymore(covered in section 1.6). SteamDeck Tools by itself can do the following:

  • GPU Scaling
  • Vivid Gaming(vibrancy toggle)

You can still install Adrenaline if you want -- for manual Color Correction or adjusting Image Sharpening

The working version of Adrenaline Software as of 11-8-22 is 22.10.3 (For the APU Drivers released on November 8th from Valve)

Installation

  • Download the Adrenalin Software:

Guru3D - AMD Adrenaline 22.10.3 WHQL

installing the driver will fail as it won't be able to find a compatible graphics card. However, inside the C:\AMD folder search for CCC2_Install.exe and install it. (This will in fact install with no errors)

(NOTE: If you run into an error when installing about missing DLLs, make sure to download and install the Visual C++ Runtimes click Here)

  • OPTIONAL/Alternative - If you have 7-Zip installed, you can open the AMD Software Package with it and extract the CCC2_Install.exe under the path "Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\B378972\CCC2_Install.exe" (You can download 7-Zip from Here
