Default Catalyst 9.6 vs. Catalyst 9.7

6% boost in Crysis at the highest setting, otherwise nothing remarkable, at
least in the games they tested. Text is in German.

The dickheads disabled display rotation in 9.7. Back to 9.6 it is.

There's a rotation drop-down menu in Anand's review (last picture).

OK...

I uninstalled 9.6 first using the ATI Software uninstall utility and then
wiping out the dregs with Driver Cleaner Pro before rebooting. I installed
CCC 9.7 then rebooted, 9.9 Avivo then rebooted, 9.6 HDMI Audio then
rebooted.

Yet my CCC interface looks identical to 9.6 and nothing like the new one.

I hate it when ATI upgrades **** up, not least because all the reboots make
the process ridiculously time consuming.

Do you use XP? From the Catalyst 9.7 release notes:

"The new ATI Catalyst Control Center is supported under Windows 7 and
Windows Vista"

It says supported. Does that mean XP will have it in future versions?

I use XP Pro SP3. I downloaded CCC 9.7 from the XP 32-bit link on ATI's web
site. The file name is 9-7_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu.exe. If you check a little
higher on page 4 of the 9.7 release notes you'll see the sundry flavours of
XP in the supported list.

Be that as it may, I've installed it three times and no new interface. Oh,
but rotation support does seem to reactivate some minutes after booting.

You are not doing anything wrong. The line in the release notes is the
polite way of saying XP users don't get the new UI in CCC. Yes, XP is in the
pg.4 supported list, which means the drivers and CCC function, just without
the new look...

Does ATi Tray Tools have display rotation capabilities? If it does, you can
ditch CCC altogether (remove CLI from Windows startup list) and save a good
chunk of startup time.

ATI support seems to think it does. I've just been through a multiple email
exchange with them, culminating in my sending them a few different system
reports which got escalated (and very quickly abandoned with the advice to
go back to 9.6).
