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. http://news.ati-forum.de/index.php/t...vs-catalyst-97 -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." |

Catalyst 9.6 vs. Catalyst 9.7
There's a rotation drop-down menu in Anand's review (last picture).

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:

Does that mean XP will have it in future versions? -- "We are anthill men upon an anthill world." --Ray Bradbury /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phil/Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links (AQFL): http://aqfl.net \ _ / Nuke ANT from e-mail address: NT ( ) or Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer. |

From the Catalyst 9.7 release notes: "The new ATI Catalyst Control Center is supported under Windows 7 and Windows Vista" 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. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

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). |
