AMD compatability mode?

[Deathsoul097]

In the launcher, there is an AMD compatibility mode. I have an AMD Radeon Vision 8 GPU. How will this affect my game if I activate it?

There's an AMD compatibility mode? I had no idea that was a thing. Best I can give you is try it and find out (You can always change it later)

Interesting, it says not to mess with it unless we know what we're doing. Well I don't, that's for sure.

I'm pretty sure it's for AMD processor's, not GPU's.

I have an Intel CPU and AMD GPU and it makes no difference. :-)

Well I be damned, it actually makes things smoother! I've got AMD GPU and Intel CPU.

Ooh! I was just checking to make sure it wouldn't ruin anything, lol. If it even helps performance with an Intel CPU then my AMD one will benefit a lot. (1.9GHz Dual Core. Yeah, I can't make much stuff before it lags out.)

(Also, it turns out I messed up when I posted the thread. I have an AMD "Quad Core" (Although apparently it's only a Dual Core?) A8-4500M CPU, and my GPU is an AMD HD 7670M gDDR3 2GB Hybrid. (Whatever the hell that means.))

I have read that it is to do with AMD Phenom CPU's when you have turbo core activated in the bios. This was causing ksp to crash.
