Adrenalift v0.1-alpha — Initial Pre-release
First public alpha of Adrenalift, a Windows utility that bypasses the artificial boost clock ceiling enforced by the AMD display driver.
What it does
The AMD Windows driver holds your GPU back from reaching its full clock potential through a software-enforced clock gating policy. Adrenalift scans physical memory for the driver's cached PowerPlay table, patches the boost clock limit in-place, and applies the change immediately — no reboot required.
Target hardware
- RDNA4 GPUs (RDNA3 is untested)
Features in this release
- Memory scan & patch — locate and modify the driver's cached PP table boost clock ceiling
- PySide6 GUI with Simple, PP, SMU/OD, Memory, and Registry tabs
- CLI tool (
overclock_cli.py) for scripted/headless use - VBIOS parsing with optional UPP integration for stock value recovery
- Non-persistent patches — reboot restores stock values
Experimental / WIP
The following are included but may not work reliably on all configurations:
- SMU OverDrive table path (DMA transfer)
- D3DKMTEscape (non-admin WDDM) path
- Registry tweaks (ULPS, clock gating keys)
- SPPT cache editing
Requirements
- Windows 10+ (64-bit)
- AMD RDNA4 GPU
- Administrator privileges
- VBIOS dump (app will prompt if not found)
Warning
Use at your own risk. This tool writes to physical memory and communicates with the GPU's SMU. Incorrect use can cause driver crashes, BSODs, or hardware damage. Overclocking may void your warranty.
