Rate from 10 (best) to 1 (worst)

No difference on this CCC compared to the last version.

It doesn't work at all. Crashes at startup.

FDisk · Apr 7, 2005, 04:06 PM

Had to clean everything and reinstall it all again.
Works now.

3dmark03 is the same for me as 5.3 and also coduo and also the css stress test.but the 5.3s were the best set i have ever tried for an official set and i gave them a ten.so...

I'm bumping my score up to a 7 now, CCC seems more responsive, faster to react to commands. And the tray tool now works all the time, which is a welcome relief as previous versions would sometimes just not work. CCC still seems a wee bit sluggish, but it has certainly improved. Nice progress.

The CCC tray icon still needs to have this sorted or its crashy

You need to uninstall the drivers then install not install over the top

It runs fine but it still needs some optimizations and maybe some more additions

Also it takes almost a minute for my computer to shutdown with CCC

I gave it a 7

I hope we see Microsoft Net Framework 2.0 soon maybe these will fix things

I'm using it with ".NET Framework 2.0 Beta" right now and it does work alot faster.

To Spyre:
I always installed on top of the old ones. Never had a problem before.
They changed something in the installation in this release I guess.

ok... it's been awhile since using the CCC at all.... tried the first 2 times when it was initially released.... now i've tried this latest version and i can say. Installation went flawlessly considering that i didn't do a fresh format and install. (uninstalled all the 5.3 stuff not to mention all the AIW stuff as well)

Pop .NET 1.1 on and then installed away....

it loads a hell of alot faster now, a second or 2 short of the normal control panel. Interface is quick. Doesn't use much of any memory at all. And the most obviously excellent part is that fact that the thing is loaded with very useful features. Sure it still needs some work, but i would have to say it surpasses the old control panel now.

Gave it an 8. The ccc does seem to load a bit faster. No issues to report haven't had any problems what so ever, even the Overdrive tab is functional on my x800pro

I'm waiting for the official .net 2.0 to come out don't want to use the beta. I'm sure once it's available the ccc will be even faster and get a 9 maybe even a 10

I think they solved it. Before cat5.4 the tray icon would randomly crash for me mostly after quitting a game but with cat5.4 it has not crashed once till now. Tray icon seems very stable so far at least for me

I gave it a 9 , i'm very happy with it. Everything is working good , fast , stable. The loading time for the first time could be faster though but it's not bad , within 10sec. and after that it's within 5sec. so that's good even though usually i don't even need to load it as i have profiles for the games and for some basic settings and if i want to change something quickly i can use the tray icon which works great so far

btw i use the .net 2.0 beta

LDBlues · Apr 9, 2005, 11:35 PM

Not much has changed for the version. I've heard that .net 2.0 may help the ccc run better, any news on when it will be released?

MikeBrass · Apr 18, 2005, 04:10 AM

For me, same as 5.3 - the VPU recover email I send, is always bounced.

Perhaps it is Outlook not the CCC?

ANTMAN29 · Apr 28, 2005, 11:45 AM

I gave it a 7. I went from the omega 4.12's to the cat 5.4's and the graphics to me seemed alittle better but 3dmark scores went down abit. Like that the overdrive includes the memory side of things though. Although it doesnt up it at all lol. But kept running into some wierd probs with getting onto certain ut servers, kept crashing and went back to the omega 4.12's and all is fine now.

dr0p_z0ne · May 3, 2005, 10:47 PM

I give them a 10. Best CATs so far.
