Hi all,

I just installed a new CCC from AMD, and now when games start, I am getting this pop-up that Raptor is starting up, and when I try to turn it off, it says that the game can become unstable if it is turned off.

I have looked in both the catalyst control center and the gaming evolved program, and can't find a place to turn this off. I just dont like programs running in the background like this. What exactly does Raptor do, and how do I turn it off, or preferably keep it from starting up?

Just launch AMD CCC install/uninstall manager and remove Raptor from there.

You can launch that from the Control Panel --- Programs and Features

(Click uninstall Manager)

Go to hidden icons on the task bar, right click exit or right click on the Raptor Icon, choose preferences, uncheck the automatically start Raptor box when I start my computer. You games and computer will run fine with the box unchecked. The only reason I have Raptor installed is for the Beta Gaming Evolved DVR.

FWIW I have also ignore game optimization recommendations box check for games installed.

Even with it on when I start my games, I do not get the pop up you mention.
