VPU Recover :
VPU Recover enables the ATI display driver to detect when the graphics processor stops responding
to display-driver instructions. When this happens, the display driver attempts to reset the graphics
hardware. In most cases, VPU Recover will be able to reset the graphics processor without requiring
a system restart.
Should the computer be unable to recover from a crash, VPU Recover will switch the computer to
software rendering mode, allowing you to save any work in progress before restarting the computer.

aspect to maximize the performance of the graphics processing unit (GPU)
on your graphics card. An on-chip thermal sensor constantly monitors the temperature of the GPU
allowing the maximum clock speed to be maintained while avoiding overheating. If the GPU gets too
hot, the ATI Overdrive aspect will automatically decrease the clock speed until a safe temperature is
reached. The ATI Overdrive aspect will never reduce the graphics processor speed below the default
clock speed.
