Robert McClelland · May 17, 2005, 11:23 PM

So far np with it

petri1 · May 18, 2005, 06:13 AM

well i have noticed that it sometimes tend to freeze for a short time but not that it freeze altogether but still it si a bit jerky but then again i don´t use it so often and because i don´t know everything and every option like i do with the old cp

so but ti works withou lock ups and so on

so i guess it has been improved from time to time and gets better all the time

so keep it up ATI

LDBlues · May 18, 2005, 07:08 AM

This time around....I get several errors while using the ccc. Not an improvement....and still their is no point in using it.

Voting right now would give these drivers a 1. However, I will withhold my ballot and wait a reasonable amount of time for someone to help me with my Trackmania Sunrise issue in the main 5.5 thread.

Edit: Wrong thread. Will C and P to drivers poll. Mods. please feel free to delete this post.

Is it offtopic to ask whats the advantage in CCC over the classic control panel?

Ingmar Kalkman · May 20, 2005, 06:38 PM

Some obversations about the 5.5 CCC. I hope ATI keeps improving it.

- When installed over the 5.4 crash on the 3D viewer. Warning should be given that first CCC must be uninstalled.
- starts slow (why so much internet traffic???)
- some help index refers to wrong item (starting at "Video for Pre-Radeon(R) 9500 Series")
- loses 3d full screen gamma settings when window mode or <ALT> <TAB>
- wanted: option to automaticaly set highest refresh rate on resolution change
- wanted: easier acces to resolution change.

That's it for now.... Game on!

The better way is uninstall old driver first, get Driver Cleaner and remove all debris (best in WinXP safe mode). Reboot and install new driver.

Thanks! I knew that but I wanted to see if that was changed with the CCC version. When installing there even is a message "removing old version"... There is no warning displayed when installing over a previous version. This gives mr Avarage User the idea that everything is fine, while it's not... So either it should work or the user should be given a warning before installing the driver+CCC. IMHO of course

Edit: By the way... I climbed the Sydney harbour bridge...

CCC version is exactly the same procedure.
the older Radeon drivers up to 5.4 included a .txt file sorta readme. There is mentioned to uninstall first, but this file seems vanished in 5.5
Maybe they put it back in?

PS: I never have been to Sydney - do I miss something?

Yeah, even a readme would be better than nothing.

Off Topic:
I only spend one day+evening in Sydney. Had a good time there. Lot's of things to do and see. Busy city centre. (I was on a one month trip on the east coast, from Cairns to Melbourne).
Now, how do we link Australia to the CCC so we keep the moderators away

jpinard · May 25, 2005, 06:12 AM

What do you mean there's no point to CCC. Isn't CAT AI enough reason?

UnTouchAble · May 25, 2005, 11:57 AM

Not really, you can change the AI with 3rd party applications, such as Ati Tray Tool, Radlinker etc. If you wanted to, you could always change it via Reg Editor.

jpinard · May 25, 2005, 10:44 PM

If ti's so easy t change, why doesn't the old cp have it? <confused>

NAZ2222 · May 26, 2005, 11:04 PM

I think that the old cp doesn't have it, because maybe AI need a constant program running and is not. But i dont how ATT use it, maybe it transfers that task for im self? can anyone put some light on this???

NAZ2222 · May 26, 2005, 11:09 PM

I have another question, i have an 9800 pro, dose it conpense to have ccc?? i heard some people complaining about load times, and on the relevance of having CCC to performance versus quality.t

Because no more development work is being done on the old style CP

More responsive than the old ones...esp. with .NET 2.0 beta vs. 1.2
