AMD Ryzen™ Master 1.2 Addendum

The Game Mode profile depends on MAM and LCM for the profile’s unique configuration. For

example, a 16-core Ryzen Threadripper 1950X CPU will be re-configured by the Game Mode

profile for optimal game performance across a wide range of legacy and modern games. The

LCM and MAM controls are both applicable to this CPU model.

Conversely, Ryzen 5 2400G APU has four cores, thus LCM is not applicable, and is not a Ryzen

Threadripper model, thus MAM is not applicable. For the Ryzen 5 2400G APU

• The configuration is already optimal for game performance across a wide range of legacy

and modern games.

• Without the need to set LCM and MAM, the Game Mode profile is not unique from the

Creator Mode profile and does not uniquely change the behavior of the processor for the

gaming use case

For similarly situated Ryzen models

• AMD suggests using the Game Mode profile to optimize overclocking for games, perhaps

with more aggressive CPU, graphics and memory overclocking taken toward the edge of

stability

• AMD suggests using the Creator Mode profile to optimize overclocking for creativity and

productivity use cases under less aggressive overclocking conditions for improved stability

• Profiles 1 and 2 remain for other use case optimization at the complete discretion of the

user
