Together with the Fusion ad campaign, AMD rolled out a new utility called Fusion for Gamers. This piece of software is designed to boost the gaming performance of AMD-based systems by temporarily disabling unnecessary resource-consuming background services and processes. AMD claims this results in a performance boost of 2-5%.

Fusion for Gaming also features some other performance enhancing and overclocking features:
  • Auto-Tune for AMD processors and chipsets, which is designed to optimize platform performance while maintaining system stability;
  • Clock Multiplier Control and Advanced Clock Calibration from within the AMD Overdrive utility allows gaming enthusiasts to customize the performance level of their processor and platform.3 AMD Overdrive is able to monitor the temperature, frequency and stability of the processor and platform to allow users to find the optimal settings for the task at hand;
  • Auto-Tune for ATI graphics from within the award-winning Catalyst Control Center software, providing complete control of the performance and visual quality of your ATI Radeon graphics for a personalized visual experience on the PC; and
  • Hard Drive Acceleration to decrease data seek time and increase hard drive performance.
  • You can download the first beta version over here but be aware that it may be a security risk as under some circumstances Fusion for Gaming may disable security and antivirus software.
