Designed to help optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game play in the latest PC games with the touch of a button, the AMD Fusion for Gaming utility helps achieve the performance edge previously only available to highly technical enthusiasts. It works by temporarily shutting down background processes and intensifying processor performance with AMD Boost. That means you can keep all the features of Microsoft® Windows Vista® ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious business – gaming.1

Made with simplicity in mind, we still let you behind the curtains and into the advanced interface to change how the utility works. You can customize with user selectable profiles which optimizes your PC for gaming. Also, you can easily build your own profile and choose exactly what you want disabled for a leaner footprint. Want to squeeze every bit of performance from your system? Engage our most advanced acceleration technologies such as Auto-Tuning and Hard Drive Acceleration.2 Push the limits for how lean and mean you can make your Gaming PC.

At AMD we are dedicated to bringing together the people, ideas and technologies that help ignite the PC gaming experience. Solutions like AMD GAME! PCs and the AMD Fusion for Gaming utility make it simpler to enjoy the latest games and take your experience to a new level. All systems go!

Wow... patched version already??

Thanks man... I just read about it on AT, and wished it was available for non-AMD platform.

All this while I was using batch file to turn off and on services, to play games.

This IS nice.

Doesnt the game explorer in vista offer same functionality??

No idea about it mate. I'm mostly on XP (working and gaming wise). Vista is still secondary, and mostly for testing purpose and timepassing. :)

No, Game Explorer only lists the game in a single place.

This is completely different.

This is based on profiles, which, when activated, will disable the system services which you do not need while playing and activate a few hardware tweaks which should give you better performance.

In short, the stuff we do manually before running the latest games on our humble machines :ohyeah:

it does..it does..

No it does not. Any documentation to support the claim?

It only switches the UI to Home Basic, but that is not a GE feature, that i suppose happens when the games switch to full screen via some specific function..
