Qualcomm’s Adreno Control Panel brings GPU tuning to Snapdragon X Elite-powered PCs

Qualcomm is stepping up its game on Windows PCs. With Snapdragon X Elite now powering Copilot+ PCs like the new Surface Laptop 7 and others, the company has launched a new GPU tuning tool called “Adreno Control Panel.”

Snapdragon X Elite-powered Copilot+ PCs can also benefit from Qualcomm’s Adreno Control Panel

This beta app is designed to boost gaming performance by letting you fine-tune the GPU, similar to NVIDIA’s Control Panel or AMD’s Adrenalin software.

“The Adreno Control Panel offers a range of powerful features designed to enhance your graphics experience,” says Qualcomm. “With the ability to enable driver features through user-created profiles, you can tailor your settings to meet your specific needs.”

The Adreno Control Panel is now available for Snapdragon X Elite devices. The app lets you create game-specific profiles. You can tweak anisotropic filtering, texture filtering, and frame rate caps. You can also update the Adreno graphics driver directly from the app.

If you’re using a Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PC, like the Microsoft Surface Pro or Microsoft Surface Laptop (15”), this tool gives you more control over how games run. That matters, especially since many PC games still rely on emulation when running on ARM.

With this move, Qualcomm is showing it’s serious about gaming on Windows. The new tool gives both developers and players a way to optimize games without relying entirely on system defaults.

The Adreno Control Panel is now available on Qualcomm’s developer website. You’ll need to create a free account to download it.
