AMD Reservation Manager

[rap33042]

Hello all!

I've Googled, and searched this forum and several others with no luck.

Does anyone know what the AMD Reservation Manager service is? Does?

Is it needed? Can I disable it?

Service description: Blocks the resources for the applications at the software level
What does that mean?

(It showed up with the latest CCC installation [Driver version 8.801.0.0])

TIA

I've also done some looking and it appear nobody really knows what it is but maybe the software writers or the engineers.

I just installed the latest CCC and have this program also. It has a Listening TCP port of 7123.

anyone know why it needs a tcp port open?

Did you happen to notice that it is a loopback? Means it isn't going or waiting for anything outside of your computer,

Loopback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As for what they are the best I have come across is the explanations here,

AMD Game Forums - I don't see the point - yet

Well people, I just updated the latest drivers and have this: AMD FUEL Service

This will certainly add to the confusion!

They just keep putting stuff on my computer and I wanna know what it is!

Come on AMD! Some people have limited computer resources to begin with and don't need extra, unwanted stuff!

I think, at the very least, we should know what these services do so we can make an educated decision about turning them off- agreed?

I turned both of them off when I found that it took forever to connect to the MMORPH I play. But AMD Reservation Manager keeps coming back, vampire-like, even after I've disabled it. Thanks a bunch AMD.
