Descrizione

AMD Fusion for Gaming Utility permette di ottimizzare il funzionamento del proprio sistema basato su processore AMD, così da renderlo più performante nell'esecuzione di videogiochi. Il tool ha 3 differenti modalità di configurazione:

• Basic: con questa impostazione vengono spenti alcuni task di sistema e attivata una configurazione chiamata AMD Boost, che permette di accelerare a livello hardware le prestazioni. Tra i vari servizi che vengono disattivati dal sistema segnaliamo alcuni servizi che Windows carica in memoria come Fax, iSCSI Initiator Service, Internet Connection Sharing e Application Management.
• Advanced: il livello d'intervento è simile a quello Basic, ma c'è maggiore flessibilità nella tipologia di servizi che vengono disattivati e nel loro numero.
• Expert: selezionando l'impostazione expert vengono coinvolte anche le utility AMD Overdrive, che interviene sui parametri di funzionamento del processore e della scheda madre, e ATI Catalyst Auto-Tune, parte del pacchetto ATI Catalyst Control Center e quindi legato alle prestazioni delle schede video ATI Radeon. Il numero di task che vengono interrotti incrementa ulteriormente, così da liberare ancor più risorse di sistema.
