ATI Tray Tools is a powerful utility software designed specifically for AMD/ATI graphics cards. This free third-party application provides users with advanced control over their graphics card settings and performance monitoring capabilities.
The program offers various features including:
- Overclocking tools for GPU and memory
- Fan speed control
- Temperature monitoring
- Custom profiles for different games and applications
- Quick resolution switching
- Power management options
- System tray accessibility
One of the main advantages of ATI Tray Tools is its user-friendly interface and convenient system tray integration, allowing users to quickly access and modify graphics card settings without opening the main application window. The software was particularly popular among ATI Radeon users during the 2000s and early 2010s.
While the program is no longer actively developed and has been largely replaced by AMD's official software solutions, it remains remembered as one of the most useful utilities for ATI graphics card owners of its time.
