AMD Link is a way to connect to your PC from any other mobile device, smart TV or Windows device. It has just been mostly updated in the latest AMD software update. So we show you how to enable AMD Link and how to use it. The feature lets you control your computer from your mobile and game anywhere, use voice recognition, and track performance metrics. If you are looking for more performance with this update, also check how to enable RSR to increase FPS.
Another part of it is Link Game, which allows a friend to connect to your PC. It will act as a second controller in any game you play, similar to what Steam Link offers. So if a game doesn’t have online multiplayer, you can enjoy couch co-op from afar and in a wider range of software.
