Asus Introduces Turbo Game Mode for AMD Motherboards

The new BIOS feature aims to enhance gaming performance by disabling certain CPU components, though results vary across games.

Turbo Game Mode is available via a BIOS update for select Asus AM5 motherboards, including the ROG X870E Crosshair Hero.
The mode disables one CPU chiplet and simultaneous multi-threading, potentially improving performance in games not optimized for high core counts.
Testing shows mixed results: some games see minor performance gains, while others perform worse or show no change.
Critics note that enabling the mode can degrade the CPU's capabilities for non-gaming tasks, making it impractical for frequent switching.
Asus has not provided specific performance improvement claims, but similar features from competitors suggest potential boosts of up to 35% in certain scenarios.
