Is there any performance increases? They generally highlight them in the release notes. Great job as usual.

Now that's definitely a Greek way of thinking

Kudos guys for another solid release

Agree, the only bad point in CCC is that you can't select the OpenGL and DirectX settings dependant, and that all is going by the same setting

But then I need to use ATT for that, and then it works fine for me

Well, i've tested Battlefield 2, and didn't saw any block, and nice shadows, what looks like REAL shadows

But that was only one level, so I still need to test a lot

Since Cat. 5.1, I hadn´t see a fantastic set, like this.
Even the CCC, too.

Thanks, ATI and Driverheaven.

Isn't this actually the last set with only the CP too though?

I believe so, they have stated before that from 5.9 no more normal control panel, and this might upset a lot of people

But CCC is actually quite good now, fast, aint using alot of memory and it just grows better and better each month
