I wouldnt mind if they game it away. But it seems to finally be working ok now. Okay, i figured out that everything works but CCC.Catalyst Control Center?


I hate that thing. I always just install the drivers and tell the CCC to go to *censored*. Besides- it never installed properly before because I only had a 2GB HD at the time- the .NET framework wouldn't fit, LOL.Well, when I first installed it.......several re installations ago........it worked fine....but ever since the 9.0 drivers, it has never worked. So I agree, GO TO *censored*, CCC!you can usually change all the same options in the display properties, anyway.exactly, but for the beginners, cc might help them, IF THEY COULD GET THE FRICKEN THING TO INSTALL AND WORK!!!!!!!!!!Ya that would be nice if my graphics card and your ccc decided workI mean, if they ever decided to work, they would be a good company, but their software is unused because it doesn't work on many computers!WOW, this is almost as pathetic as a the PC vs. Mac argument.

I've had ATI cards for years, never had a problem with them. I hadn't had an nVidia card in years (not since GeForce2) until recently with my new build. Since then I've had a ATI Radeon 9550, 9600XT, and one other which I can't remember the model of before those two. They were all great cards at the time. Nothing wrong with the cards or the software for me. The only reason I went back to a GeForce card (GeForce 9600) was because at the time, it was the only card available to me with SM3. But I've been just as happy with ATI as I've been with GeForce.

BC is very right with his post in Reply #21. So very true. All too often when someone doesn't understand something about a particular piece of hardware or software, they just say it sucks. Not because it really does suck, but usually because they've done something wrong because they weren't following the directions and ended up making it not work like it should.

It's like automobile accidents. The leading cause is operator error, not mechanical failure.I also like both ATI and Nvidia. I used to like Trident for my old ISA cards. They were pretty good with their early graphics cards.

My first of the two was a ATI Rage Pro 3d 8MB AGP- it was inside a computer given to me, and I saw no VALID reason to swap in my RELATIVELY crappy PCI Cirrus cards.

Windows 98, once I acquired it, installed and SETUP the drivers without any CD (I later updated them which fixed quite a few issues I was having).

My first few attempts at an upgrade from that card was an Geforce FX (6XXX, I forget the exact number), which BSOD'd in the driver whenever I attempted a 3d-mode. Same story for the All-In-Wonder 9000 I tried. It was actually a issue with the motherboard or AGP chipset, since all the cards work fine on my CURRENT PC.
