Sick of ATI's sh*tty CCC, here's your fix...

Well, after trying ATI's new CCC .net enabled drivers and finding out how sh*tty the CCC is (bloated and SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW,) I wanted another app that gave me that systray but worked properly and without a hassle, esp the profiles. I found it:

http://www.radeon2.ru/atitray/

Also has some nice HD specific plug-ins. Consider me a happy camper. Why ATI couldn't have designed such a control center is beyond me.
 
That's what you do, yes, but if you ALSO want the CCC type functionality without the crap, you install this with it.
 
I'd like to see some benches backing up your claim that your system is faster with this than the CCC. I'm not saying you are wrong, but I've benched with and without the CCC installed and found no difference. I'm really curious about the "slow and bloated" remark... what is slow about it and why do you say bloated?
 
You're misunderstanding me. I'm just talking about the seconds it takes for the CCC to come up when you right click on it and it's bloated because it eats up 20MB+ of RAM and requires .net to be installed. The program I'm talking about does everything CCC does, only instantaneously and without the bloat.
 
You don't need to load CCC anymore anyway, they put all the settings in the menu of the icon in the systray.
 
Yeah, it isn't instantaneous, actually no where near it. I even clean installed to make sure it wasn't the system. ATITray though *is* and offers many more options to boot so I'm happy, just wish ATI would get some competent programmers.
 
Does CCC still require *multiple* instances of the .Net runtime too, because of both the system-service and the per-user user-mode portions of the CCC? On a 256MB machine, that kind of stuff is just pure unnecessary bloat. ATITool has added some "Catalyst AI settings" features too, to allow controlling "C. AI", without installing the CCC.
