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!

Same. While it does what it's advertised to do, I simply couldn't discern any improvements from having it enabled.

^^Basically exactly what he said. I just didnt want to bother with it anymore and didn't see a level of improvement that would make me want to keep it enabled.
Very cool of AMD

The good:
  • It's great to see AMD openly promoting and supporting overclocking
  • It's awesome that they release free apps like this for everyone to use and be so user friendly
The bad:
  • All it does is pretty much shut off some services and background apps
  • They were using 32 bit windows in their youtube demo video, meaning they probably had 2 or less GB of RAM, so shutting down all those apps would definitely help, but would most likely have no affect on those with 3-4GB+
  • Why do I need to have an AMD CPU to shut off some apps and services?
I've gotta say, I feel cheap with the Q6600. While I'm not complaning about the performance, it's just that the logo and how Intel works (more about business and money than consumers and hardcore-ing), Intel feels "made in China" whenever I see it, while AMD stands out as "kickass"/"game on"

My last system was an Opteron 165 and it did not disappoint
