ATI gfx users: Do you guys use the CCC?

Hey all,

I was wondering if those amongst you who have an ATI card use the Catalyst Control Center? In either case, please let me know why you DO use it, and if you don't, why not.

I have it installed on my system, but I am thinkling of taking it off. I'd be able to use different drivers in getting rid of it, right?

Thanks all!

Re: ATI gfx users: Do you guys use the CCC?

I use it. Generally (though many forcefully disagree with me), I prefer to stick with the software a company provides for their stuff. I've had no problems with CCC, and it seems to work really well for Crossfire. The good news is that I know the problem is with a driver if I have a problem (I never wonder about compatibility). The bad news is that there isn't much I can do if ATI messes up. I tend to live alright with it, though.

2 Radeon HD3870X2 cards ... no choice if you want quad GPU to work.
