Latest ATI drivers

[Zucarita9000]

I've installed Catalyst 6.1 a few weeks ago, and I noticed that Windows is a bit sluggish, with (sometimes) some lag when opening windows and submenues. I belive that the Catalyst Control Center has something to do with it. The damn software is slooooow.

I'm downloading ver 5.11 again, as they seem to be the latest avilable without CCC.

Strange ...

Never heard about GPU drivers, nor even softwares to run driver settings slowing down general speed on Operating Systems, seriously.

There should be one, or more sources being the cause of the sluggish/stuttering performance.

Make sure you got no Spywares/Malwares/Viruses/Trojans, etc. First and for all. Then, maybe defrag your HDD. Then maybe clean your Registry with some free reg cleaners.

Then you could always un-install all, absolutely all drivers you got (audio, monitor, graphics, and any others you might have) and simply re-install them all.

Oh, and, make sure you're using Driver Cleaner in Safe Mode to get rid of your ATi drivers "traces", before installing a new set of drivers. Simply select "ATI" in Driver Cleaner's options once in Safe Mode, and clean. Then reboot in Normal Mode of course. Then install the new drivers, then reboot again, and voila.

Home it helps.

CCC is a bit of a resource pig, no question.

Apparently if you look around on ATI's site you can find the 6.3's with the regular control panel - I think it's in the old video card section or something...?

Find it here: Where to get cat 6.3 with control panel from ATI
I would also download latest version of driver cleaner pro and after uninstalling old driver and ccc then run driver cleaner in safemode for ati and ati ccc.

Thanks a lot man, I downloaded them and installed them without any issues.

CCC shouldn't be slowing down your system
