GUIDE AMD Control Center

[WilliamImm]

If any AMD user wants to tackling updating this guide please feel free. It's horribly outdated at the moment. A good reference would be the NVIDIA Inspector Guide.

While I do not use Crossfire, I would be willing to update the guide to not be completely pictorial, and actually be written in words.

That would be fantastic.  I'm not sure what the "ideal" settings are or anything, but if you need instructions or images if it set up properly in the CCC let me know, those are easy.

First thing I did: change the title from AMD Catalyst Control Center to AMD VISION Engine Control Center. Reason being, it looks like AMD changed the name of the tool, and, well, I want to make the name match. (Go ahead and change the title and link of this thread to match.)

And also if anybody useing the 13.2 beta drivers the layout and options names and such have changed its look and nameing scheme

Thanks WI, for updating the guide. I lack the time for this one ATM.

I got the latest also.

Just downloaded the beta5 and its still called Catalyst Control Center.

I think the vision part is only for apu's?

[WilliamImm]

Yea, that's probaly it. I happen to use a APU (specifically, a A10) in my computer, but I didn't really know that the Catalyst Control Center is named differently for users with ones. Probaly going to change the name again to "AMD Catalyst/VISION Engine Control Center", or just call the guide "AMD Catalyst Control Center", with a note that this applies to users using the VISION Engine version as well.

The layout at least for 3D Application Settings is quite different in version 13.1, which came out fairly recently, of Catalyst Control Center than those in the screenshots in our AMD guide.
