MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and SUNNYVALE, Calif. – Sept. 25, 2013 – Raptr and AMD (NYSE: AMD) today unveiled the AMD Gaming Evolved App Powered by Raptr, which was designed to make PC gaming as simple to use as consoles. The App will enable AMD users to get the most out of their gaming experience by suggesting customized optimal game settings for their rigs, earn real rewards just for playing games, and have instant access to in-game tools such as broadcasting live video via Twitch, taking screenshots, web browsing, and chat.

We believe were taking a big step in improving the PC gaming experience for the masses, said Dennis Fong, CEO, Raptr. Combining AMDs expertise in hardware and performance with Raptrs already popular desktop app and 18+ million community was a perfect fit.

With a single click in the app’s Control Center, gamers will be able to optimize their games based on performance, quality or a balance of both for their AMD hardware. Optimal game settings are determined using system and game data captured from millions of PCs stored in Raptr’s Cloud combined with extensive testing of various combinations of GPUs, CPUs, and resolutions. The Control Center will also be the hub for gamers to access Raptr’s tens of thousands of dedicated game communities for the latest discussions, streams, and more.

Weve watched Raptr build a hugely successful platform and its clear that they understand what gamers want, said Matt Skynner, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Graphics Business Unit, AMD. The Gaming Evolved App Powered by Raptr allows our users get the most out of their gaming rigs while tapping into a thriving community where they can share their experiences and get rewards.
