About:
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 MicrosoftÂ® Windows VistaÂ® ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious business â€“ gaming.

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!

Okay I ran FC2 benchmark.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

As you can see, Everything max except Shading and Shadow set to Very High.
1152x864, specs u refer to my signature, nvidia driver version 185.66

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Dunia engine, one of the best game engines out there, attention to details is awesome(more detailed than games utilising Unreal 3 Engine), fire effects is top notched too.

Without Fusion:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Avg fps: 33.46
max fps: 49.94
min fps: 22.99

Ran Fusion Expert mode:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Avg fps: 37.65
max fps: 55.89
min fps: 27.15

Obvious increase in fps. I like how the min fps was increased, decreased lagginess in the game you see...
I will do other benchmarks in the future. Cheers.

This is my third time writing this(stupid Streamyx).

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Game: Crysis, patched(1.2), natural mod(makes everything more realistic), Everything running at very high(dx9hack), no AA/AF, 1152x864.
My specs refer below, drivers: 185.66
Game engine: CryEngine2.
Super beautiful graphics, super detailed(try zooming in on Psycho's face using a sniper scope), not my favourite game engine though( too hardware demanding, physics could be further improved)
Something's wrong with my benchmark tool, running it using DOS.
GPU Benchmark results:
Without fusion:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Total averages:
Avg fps: 30.50
Min fps: 12.53
Max fps: 44.14
With Fusion(expert mode):

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Avg fps: 32.86
Min fps: 18.97
Max fps: 47.50

Good thing Min fps increased a lot, lagginess once again reduced.

edit : it seems it is already Version 1.0,
