Rate Catalyst 5.8 (CCC only)

Zardon · Aug 16, 2005, 06:51 PM

You know the drill, cast your vote!

Snickers · Aug 16, 2005, 09:17 PM

well i dont know if its just me but now theres only 1 cli process in the task manager when tray is closed.

loads alot faster now and really alot more responsive. gj ati.

INSTG8R · Aug 16, 2005, 09:26 PM

Again getting faster and back down to 2 processes with the tray Icon active,using less memory it seems, which is great.I guess I will start using the tray Icon again(the CCC is VERY fast launching from it)

Killer_uk · Aug 16, 2005, 09:40 PM

I give it a 10. The best CCC yet.

VERY responsive and almost instantly loads. Only uses 6mb of memory when idle and about 60mb when loaded.

If you have been put off in the past about using CCC, give it another go, you wont be disapointed.

**MIG-31** · Aug 16, 2005, 10:06 PM

9/10.... great version this time round,a decent speed inncrease to gain access to the options..

Only thing stopping me going 10/10 is nothing deserves max points IMO.

R1ca · Aug 16, 2005, 10:08 PM

I have tried it many times and .net 1.1 messes my rig up.
Can you host the non CCC 5.8s today Thank You.

Widkidone · Aug 16, 2005, 10:12 PM

As a CCC hater (as Zardon knows) this is very impressive since the last time i have tried the CCC (5.4). GJ Terry!

For me its not CCC as per say .net just messes up my rig.
Very unstable and it goes away when I uninstall .net.
Just cant use it.

Tyl3n0L · Aug 16, 2005, 10:46 PM

First time I'm trying CCC and I quite like it! It has much more options over the Cotrol Panel and very simple to use... The only downside for me is when I'm playing around with my 3D Settings and when I'm opening the program itself, it's a bit slow...Now everything is set and I disabled all the start up process, so it doesn't take any RAM usage. 8/10!

Another downside, however this isn't the ATi fault... Since I've installed Net Framework, when I start up my computer it always ask my to choose my Windows User, that said, I only have 1 user.... Is there a way to disable this?

Thanks & DH & ATI Rock!!1!!11!1!!1111

MiDri · Aug 16, 2005, 11:00 PM

I get a memmory access error with the new CCC, so I'm using the 5.7 cp...

DH and ATI rock!!!!!!!!!!

just delete the .net user in ur users list. Its a limited access account created when the framework is installed

bake15 · Aug 16, 2005, 11:51 PM

10 out of 10 for me.
its the best CCC so far

R1ca · Aug 16, 2005, 11:55 PM

Sorry for the frustration.

RedFalcon · Aug 17, 2005, 01:24 AM

Well I gave again 8/10. Loads little faster at last for me. Maybie it's time to replace splash screen with something else? Maybie something transparent?

DH & ATI Rock!

wiskerbizkit · Aug 17, 2005, 01:53 AM

I voted 10 because it loads up considerably faster than the 5.7 for me. One question for everyone though, Do you find the FSAA looks better with CP than with CCC?

DH and ATI rock

Canon20d · Aug 17, 2005, 08:35 AM

Will NOT install properly on my system, dont know whats up, reboots galore and driver cleaner dont help, CLI.exe does not want to install
might try later - bad d/l maybe (riiiiiiight and the boogey man is in my closet)
Drivers good though, using it @ 5.7 CP, CP's a little confused but it works

Zorg · Aug 17, 2005, 08:51 AM

5/10 from me since 5.8 appears working flawless as usual. CCC seems to load a second (or so) faster but not really worth to mention. CLI takes 3.8/22.8MB which is a slight improvement.

FuzzyNips · Aug 17, 2005, 09:11 AM

9/10...fastest yet!

It sounds like your missing and update in your .NET as post SP2 and the 1.1 Service Pack the account is no longer created

Have you made sure your .NET is up to date?,is a Firewall blocking the CCC?

Ashman UK · Aug 17, 2005, 11:55 AM

Very good i find this ccc as before i wouldnt use it because of the extra processes it would put in your task manager but as is stated above only one cli process in task manager now so it seems to be improving and loading that bit faster although at times when coming out of games i find it gets slightly unresponsive when selecting around the ccc menus so i gave it 8/10...still may go back to the old control panel for this release though but deffo improving in different aspects the ccc is!:-)

nitrousoxide52 · Aug 17, 2005, 12:04 PM

Much better than previous releases! I gave it a 9/10 because the VM usage is still pretty high, but the physical memory usage is very low. The control center itself is very responsive, and quick. These are a great set of cat's

DH and ATI rock!!!!!
(thx for the early release makedon!!!)

UnTouchAble · Aug 17, 2005, 12:26 PM

Its alot faster now and they seemed to fix the bug at the end of shut down when it says End Program!

Very god job ATI,

8, improved over last for me, first time trying CCC and i might use it again in future...

aladinsane · Aug 17, 2005, 05:27 PM

Friends often ask me why I always prefer ATI over the competition - with this kind of development, with the customers gaining all the time is a simple enough answer

Oh - and I am still laughing at all the poor 6xxx users who still can't get EQ2 to run well... should have bought that radeon chaps......

Ðamage™ · Aug 17, 2005, 06:55 PM

I've really warmed up to the CCC version of the catalyst sets and must say that every new release seems to be getting better and better, awesome work guys. 9/10

Peace

SexPistoL · Aug 17, 2005, 08:02 PM

I can't get it to work properly see http://www.hardwareheaven.com/windows-xp-radeon-display-drivers/82325-cli-exe-problem.html Please help!!!

DosCervezas · Aug 17, 2005, 10:27 PM

As a first time CCC user I must say I am very impressed. None of the memory problems I had heard about. Best Damn Drivers In Long Long time.
