Catalyst Control Panel or Control Center?

Rixn · Oct 15, 2005, 02:45 PM

I've got a X800XT graphic card and I will download the latest driver (5.10). I can see two versions of it:

Catalyst Control Panel
Catalyst Control Center

What is the difference between the two?
Which gives the most controlling features?
Is that one too much for a non-hard core gamer?

cp: contains the basic options. (will be no longer supported by ati soon).

ccc: Contains more options.. (Requires Net Framework 1.1) such as A.I

In the last few releases before i switched to nvidia the ccc were much better than the earlier releases.But it does require a reasonable amount of system ram (Min 1gb).

1) One is "Catalyst Control Panel" known as the classic Catalyst Control.
AS with most classics their old and discontinued and lack the features of
the newer models.

2) CCC has the most options

3) Neither is, but their classic control panel is dead, and hasn't really been
updated in like 2 years (if that helps you decide)

On the other hand, CCC also has problems on many systems, and it's not the only .net application to show these "BroadcasteventWindow" issues at application close or shutdown.

If you want something that "just works", then the Control panel is far superior, or something like the Tray tools by Ray Adams - and maybe this might also serve to keep CCC at bay, for those who will never take to it, when ATI no longer offer a Control Panel version.
