I know with nividia there are certain things you can do to improve performance such as uninstall geforce, play around with the settings etc. What about with the 580rx 8gb? Also, anything that should be disabled or configured on Windows 10 to optimize it for gaming?
Hardware & Technical Any thing I should be doing to get some extra fps from a 580 rx?

I don't know of any Windows 10 specific adjustments that would be any different from general performance optimizations for that card than for any other, however there are some driver setting changes that may be relevant.
In Radeon Settings you should, disable 'surface format optimization', enable 'shader cache', then in OverDrive, max out the power limit slider and adjust the fan speed control until load fan speed is as high as you find comfortable. I generally also force 16x AF in the drivers, as ED doesn't have global AF by default and it makes driving around on planets look much better, texture wise.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately overdrive doesn't work, it keeps saying "cannot detect and GPU on this computer." There is a power limit slider in the radon settings, is that also OK? What is 16x AF? How do I access that?
Never turn on gaming mode, it’s more for Microsoft games. In task manager turn off superfetch in services. (This has to be done upon every new startup cycle)
I went one further and uninstalled via powershell all the superfluous programs I don’t/won’t ever use, such as Xbox, groove music etc.
here is a link to that https://www.howtogeek.com/224798/ho...-10s-built-in-apps-and-how-to-reinstall-them/
I should probably add, only uninstall apps if you are comfortable doing so. They will reinstall themselves upon big updates. I just prefer the idea of keeping my machine lean.
Oh yes, allow certain apps to run through your firewall such as elitedangerous64.exe
not quite the specific advice you were searching for but every little helps.

Sorry, it's called WattMan now. Radeon Settings -> gaming -> global settings -> global WattMan. Power limit and fan sliders should be in there.
AF is anisotropic filtering and it improves the way textures appear at oblique angles. You can either enable it globally in global settings, or make a profile and enable it for ED only. Under settings click anisotropic filtering mode to set it to override application settings, then set the mode to 16x. This will cost some performance, but it's usually worth it.
Huge thanks! I've noticed a significant improvement following the advice given. Much appreciated!
