I'm seeing this this all over the place on different boards. At least Nvidia really cares or so we hope. One Reason I switched to Nvidia was because the control pannel wasn't all tabs and confusing like the older Ati ones (I have no idea how they look now) and outside of the profile problems (using nhancer now) it was just way easier to use

Old Control Panel for the WIN

Nice find! However, i dont understand why people dont like the new CP. Once you enable classic navigation (view/classic navigation pane) its cleaner and easier than the old one imho

I much prefered ATI's classic CP. IMO, it was just as easy to use as nVidia's current classic CP. However, instead of tabs up top, you have a white box to the left.

I don't think Nvidia cares about scrapping the new panel these just want to make it look a little more appealing. That's a waste of time the new panel is far inferior to the classic control panel.

With classic you can access all the driver features on one layout but with the new one you have to navigate like a webpage how could Nvidia possibly think that's better? At least ATI had the right idea with the CCC it operates kinda like Nvidias classic control panel.
