Usage of Control Panel vs. CCC : POLL
I'd like to poll the ATI NG's (assuming it's a pretty representative sample
group) to get an idea of what percentages represent the following categories. This information might to useful to ATI when completed. Q: Do you currently use the Control Panel or Catalyst Control Center? A: Q: For those who answered 'Control Panel' to the previous, have you tried the CCC? If yes what did you think? A: Q: Do you think ATI should abandon the CCC concept all together and refocus resources on the CP version? A: Q: What suggestions do you have for ATI's CCC, technical or general design? A: -- Tony DiMarzio |

Q: Do you currently use the Control Panel or Catalyst Control Center?
A: --Control Panel-- Q: For those who answered 'Control Panel' to the previous, have you tried the CCC? If yes what did you think? A: --Yes I tried it back in 4.9 I think. I thought it was terribly slow and bloated. Q: Do you think ATI should abandon the CCC concept all together and refocus resources on the CP version? A: No I don't think ATI should abandon the CCC concept all together. Rather, I think that it needs a hell of a beta period before they should make it standard product. Q: What suggestions do you have for ATI's CCC, technical or general design? A: Don't ever sacrifice speed and functionality for glitz. Remember who your hard-core users are. Tony DiMarzio |

Too slow and bloated. Unnecessary eye-candy. Q: Do you think ATI should abandon the CCC concept all together and refocus resources on the CP version? A: No, but it needs a lot refinement and tuning.

This information might to useful to ATI when completed. Q: Do you currently use the Control Panel or Catalyst Control Center? A: No, never have. Q: For those who answered 'Control Panel' to the previous, have you tried the CCC? If yes what did you think? A: N/A Q: Do you think ATI should abandon the CCC concept all together and refocus resources on the CP version? A: Given the amount of problems people have been reporting about the CCC over the months, it may not be a bad idea to abandon it. Based on all of the negative stuff I've read, I'm definitely left with the impression that ATI should have at least worked on it longer before releasing it. Some people may be trying to use the CCC for legitimate reasons, but I think some are just interested in the "cool" factor associated with the added bells and whistles. For me, reliability of operation overshadows everything else, but to each their own. The regular control panel does everything I want and that's what really matters. Q: What suggestions do you have for ATI's CCC, technical or general design? A: Since I haven't used it, I cannot comment. |

Yikes! I posted this message last night when I was very tired just getting
ready for bed and now realize the blunder in some of my replies. Revising my answers to the first two questions, I'm just using the standard Control Panel and have never tried the CCC. I think that was clear from my original post though. :-) Sorry about that. |

Haha. It's ok Sky. I gathered you meant " I'm just using the standard
Control Panel and have never tried the CCC ". No clarification needed. So far it seems pretty unanimous. The people are shouting a resounding "NO" to CCC. We'll see if anyone actually likes CCC.

Q: What suggestions do you have for ATI's CCC, technical or general design? A: I feel it can be nice to have a nice looking control center. But why have it require to install some weird .Net framework? Extra trouble, unneccesary... And like the others, I feel a 'cool' CCC can be a bonus, but it should NEVER hurt stability and performance. -- Thomas |

Q: For those who answered 'Control Panel' to the previous, have you tried the CCC? If yes what did you think? A: Yes. Impression: Q) What's brown and sounds like a bell? A) Dung! Q: Do you think ATI should abandon the CCC concept all together and refocus resources on the CP version? A: I feel ATI has done a tremendous disservice to their customers by wasting resources developing unnecessary addenda, rather than improving compatibility, speed, and functionality in the driver core, particularly with OpenGL. IMNSHO, it is an indication that their priorities are wandering a bit shy of convergent focus. When a company puts fluff (that doesn't even work properly, no less, sort of like their latest drivers, and their feeble attempts at CPU supporting core logic...) before stuff, it is clearly an insult to the intelligence of their consumer base. How much more resource-refocussing does the original WORKING control panel interface really need, anyway? Hasn't ANYONE at ATI heard Rule #1 of engineering? "If the damn thing works, DON'T MESS WITH IT!" Good job, feckwits! I feel the efforts would be best directed to enhancing performance and compatibility. Which is why people buy the damn things in the first place, not for some useless, bloated piece of .Net bubblegum. Q: What suggestions do you have for ATI's CCC, technical or general design? A: ****can the whole package, and the people responsible, even if they may be someone important's otherwise unemployed, mouth-breathing cousins, then get back to the program. Un-fecking-believable! This is even a question? Tell ya what, roll this missive up into the appropriately-sized cylinder, and use it to swab the idea of CCC out of ATI's corporate collective anterior orifice once and for all! Lather, rinse, repeat! Sheesh! -- Tony DiMarzio |
