How to Run AMD Fusion Game Utility on Intel CPUs
Posted by Regeneration on January 23rd, 2009, 09:22 PM

AMD released version 1.0 of its AMD Fusion for Gaming utility, which allows users a simple and fast way to prepare their Windows PCs for gaming. With the press of a button, the application can be used to automatically close down non-essential services, enhance the hard drive performance and even overclock the GPU and CPU.

Unfortunately for many, the AMD Fusion for Gaming utility is limited to only systems with an AMD processor, although that limitation is artificially imposed by AMD. The good news is, overcoming such an artificial limitation is often a trivial matter, which we will now demonstrate.

The first step required in this process is the download and installation of the AMD Fusion for Gaming v1.0 utility, located here. The application should install fine, even if the system does not have an AMD processor. Attempting to run the application though, without an AMD processor, will result in a notification stating that an AMD processor is required for the application to function.

You can read the entire article at Tom's Hardware.

Yes and some memory is released. I think it's a great tool for people that do not modify their services list and do not use OC tools (like ATi Tray Tools).
I didn't feel much gain of it (cause I already have a custom modified services list and I use auto-OC in Tray Tools) but it could be of use for some less-advanced people.

I find it usefull if you dont have a gameing account set up on your pc with nothing running and you dont feel like shutting everything running down before you go to play a game.

If I ran AMD I'd have TH in court so fast the site would get shut down.

On the flip side it's good for the peops.

BTW If they let Tom's get away with this Do you see a bit of Hypocrisy here REG?

Well it was kinda easy to mod this thing since it has no triggers and checks apart a very simple one (which was described on TH). In case you want it (the modded Exe) just PM me - it was taken down by REG due to some legal reasons.

Yeah. If I do something like that, I'd expect to see million legal threats in my inbox.
