    I tried this after the AMD event in Hawaii mentioned it and found it rather pointless and not entirely accurate in its game detection.

    Yes, because random users of a 'gaming social network' are experts in optimisation.
    This really seems like something AMD themselves should already be doing as part of testing of GPUs: automated testing of each GPU model with a representative sample of current and past CPU architectures and memory capacities with a sample of modern and past games to ensure they work to spec and do not have specific frame-dropping or stuttering issues. Adding an iterative step to find the settings that allow a minimum framerate target (or rather, a minimum frame rendering time target) would not be an onerous burden. Nvidia seem to be able to do so.
