Many ATI users are not intending to use versions of the Catalyst drivers past the date ATI stop releasing Control Panel versions. Scuttlebutt has it that this will be in the NEW Year, when Catalyst 6 is released.

You, like everyone else here, are entitled to their own opinions.
My mates, who are real mad gamers, prefer to have the full control centre download, and rate it highly.
I myself use the 7800 geeforce card, so am only able to advise on what I know from knowledge given by close friends and users of the ATI cards.
We are all here to do our bit to help, not score points of each other. |
I'm surprised that you saw patrickp's post as an attempt at 'point scoring', I read it as him trying to make sure the whole story was available, from which anyone it is relevant to, could make a choice.
- and he did say that those those with fast machines, e.g. (I presume), 'mad gamers' , are advised to consider the option of the Control Center (sic)
- to be honest, I don't use the Control Center, myself, but I am not a gamer (not with a Radeon 9800se, I'm not
)
I really think Patrick was trying to suggest 'horses for courses', not score any points
