AMD Fusion For Gaming Ultility Beta2 64-Bit support
- Thread starter Final8y
- Start date
I would not say it runs allot better, its handy for disabling allot of the back ground tasks at a push of a button.
It supposed to have some boosting features but im not sure on what they do.
AMD Boost
AMD OverDrive ---i know this one
ATI Catalyst Auto-Tune (GPU) --- i know this one.
Hard Drive Acceleration

Just tried this in the HL2 Orange Box video test and FC2
Athlon 64 X2 @ 2.45GHz
2GB DDR
8800GTS 512MB @ stock
1280x1024 @ 60Hz
Vista x64

HL2 Orange Box SDK (Lost Coast), Max everything, 16xAA, 16xAF
HL2 Without = 118.98 FPS
HL2 With Expert = 112.31 FPS
_________________________________________________
Far Cry 2 Ranch Small, Max everything, 4xAA, DX10
FC2 Without = 25.64 FPS
FC2 With Expert = 25.40 FPS

So it basically makes no difference what so ever then... what a waste of time! It takes forever to enable and disable expert mode too and does silly things like closes Steam and Ventrilo etc, which is really annoying if you are going to be actually gaming.

I had no idea about it. I call shenanigans.
The only thing that'll increase your Crysis performance by 13 fps is a brand new graphics card. The only way this is legit is if the user was running a virus scan, whilst defragging their drive and running 3dmark in the background prior to running the Fusion tool.
I don't know.
A friend of mine recently purchased a highish sepc new laptop. I could not believe how many pointless applications and running services were installed, to say it was bogged down would be an understatement.
I think for the average gaming computer user, they will have a lot of pointless stuff running in the background making a very noticeable impact on FPS. I would not be surprised if the Crysis results were genuine.

Don't use it on expert mode as that is made to really strip things to the max.
Suggestion have been made tot the devs about adding an application ignore list.

I think that will most likely be the case & most games are not CPU bottle necked with the high end CPU's people use here.
Need to test it on CPU intensive games that are CPU bottlenecked no matter what & with a setup that has not already had it services stripped/disabled to see if it worth while...pity i don't ply RTS games.
I think you may be missing the point of the software.
By the sound of it, Average Joe wanting to play Supreme Commander with an old Athlon 64 X2 3800+ on a reasonably old and clogged up machine will see an enormous performance increase.
Whereas Mr. OcUK with his overclocked Phenom and regularly defragged and formatted machine will probably not see much, if any, difference.
^^ This tbh.
I was recently given a mates gaming laptop to 'fix' because it apparently was broken. After spending 5 mins looking at it i realized that he had a tonne of unneeded apps that came with the laptop and a half naked animated dancing girl in the bottom right of the screen he had downloaded because 'it was funny' that used up around 60% of his cpu while idle. The average OCUK user can in no way be compared to the public, they're just a different breed.
If expert mode makes no difference then the others defiantly wont.
