AMD Fusion Gaming Utility Version 1.0 Released
AMD today launched the first official version of its Fusion Gaming Utility. Working on AMD systems only, the Fusion Gaming Utility turns off various Windows processes and thus gains some additional performance when needed. AMD Fusion works with both Microsoft Windows XP 32/64-bit and Windows Vista 32/64-bit.

Also works in older AMD systems, like my Socket A rig. Didn't help much though, because it has Radeon 9250. The worst hardware item I have ever bought
![]() Of course AMD boost and other new features are not supported in older systems. |

From what I understand only un-optimized systems will benefit from this. Lets say you have something like remote registry turned on. Fusion will turn it off. Things like that. I currently only have 36 processes running so I doubt this will be any benefit to people like me.

Raises my Vantage score a lot. Also helps in Mass Effect and Saints Row 2.

Right they need to be more clear when they state this as that is what they say on ther site where I seen this like a month ago. Will only run on AMD systems, well that's great verify what that means AMD come on... I have two ATI cards, does that classify as an amd system? |

AMD owns ATi, that doesn't mean they are AMD Radeon's now. They are still ATi.

I remember the first time I ran the beta, told it maxed performance and it try to kill ever service, locking my pc up. Basically what this program is equal to is clicking start-control panel-admin tools-services and turning off every possible service.

It kills services, even works on 64-bit systems.
I gained about 150 megs of ram running the expert profile. It killed Winamp and PeerGuardian, but didn't kill rainmeter. I wanna know wtf "Hard Drive Acceleration" is... If I were this program, I'd kill explorer, then have my own little game-explorer open, then start explorer when the game ended.

sounds quite good ... i mean turning services off that aren't needed during games isn't a bad idea ... there needs to be an opensource prog that do stuff like taht for all systems

It is basically the same program as Game Optimizer 1.0. They work the same and 36 processes or not it will turn some off and help.

It raises the core speed of the CPU, GPU, shuts off unneeded processes, and uses the system RAM as a form of disk boost, probably prefetching data for the main game process. It also unloads other windows processes, depending on what you choose, the firewall, your anti-virus, some networking support, etc....
Basicly anythign to free up every available cycle, every bit of RAM, and a slight overclock.

nice but i shut off services manually so they never start, at least ones i deem unnecessary to normal system operation and gaming.
