About ATI Tray Tools

Who used ATI Tray Tools instead of the CCC????

and

Do I need to uninstall the CCC in order to use ATI Tray Tools Correctly????

I used the Xtreme-G 8.7 for my 3850.

Gives you the option not to load CCC.

Then used ATItraytools for all my settings. It monitored the temps, controlled the fan speed and had a FPS counter. You can set up gaming profiles too, quite useful and not a bunch of bloatware that slows down your windows like CCC.

i can't stand how ridiculously bloated CCC & NVCP are.

I used it on my X1900 and always got the "driver only" downloads from the ATI website. I never actually tried CCC despite having the card for two years since Tray Tools was working so well.

I use Rivatuner and nHancer now on an Nvidia card. I tried some things in the official control panel at one point and it's amazing how much better the third party programs are.

perhaps that's why you need E8600 4.7G

So in order to use Ati tray tools, you can't have CCC installed?

You can have both of them installed at the same time. No harm done. Probably most people new to Tray Tools keep CCC for a while until they are familiar with Tray Tools. You do have to do some kind of hack to use it with Vista so you don't have to deal with UAC all the time. I was never all that impressed with it. It was useful for setting fan speeds on the 1900XTX but if you don't overclock there aren't that many things that it does that CCC doesn't. It is less taxing on your system than CCC but with a reasonably powerful system, so what. It does have more features than CCC but the only thing I thought would be useful was Triple Buffering and I could never get it to work on the 1900. I have found the latest versions of CCC to be way faster than they were in the past, loads instantly for me. Tray Tools was always buggy for me, always re-installing it because options quit working or were greyed out. YMMV

Tray Tools is awesome... i think they are even better than the CCC...

I mean the CCC is a fancy looking tool for noobs... Tray Tools is the FTW tool...

A bit of curiosity... but I was getting an itch to try those Xtreme-G drivers someone mention a few posts above... and a little question get around my mind....

Anyone know what is going on with omegadrivers...? no updates since so long ago... and nothing on vista yet....

I still have CCC. Used ATITT just to set my fan speed at 30%, then closed it. The speed is holding.
