Just thought that I would add my comments to the thread. I had a terrible time getting the 8.3's to install, most probably because of the latest version of Spybot Search and Destroy and its new resident. I had to actually uninstall Sypbot, install the CAT suite, and then re-install Spybot. Finally was able to get the installation completed.

While I was scratching my head and installing things right and left, I decided to try the option of running just the driver and dumping the CCC program. I run three games, FS9, FSX, and a WWI shooter called Wings of War. The latter is an OpenGL application so those issues seem to be there. I can testify at this point that dumping the CCC and using ATI Tray Tools seems to be the way to go with both FS9 and FSX. The display looks fine and there seems to be a slight but noticable increase in FPS in both applications.

Just for what it's worth.
