Catalyst™ Control Center

The Catalyst™ Control Center is a graphical user application providing access to the display features contained within the installed ATI hardware and software. Use the Catalyst™ Control Center to fine-tune your graphics settings, enable or disable connected display devices, and change the orientation of your desktop. Many of the features show you a preview of the changes before they are applied.

The Catalyst™ Control Center offers you two views of the software:

•Standard View is a simplified view that includes wizards to get the inexperience user up and running.

•Advance View allows the advanced user to access and configure the complete feature set of the software.

The Catalyst™ Control Center can be customized for easy access to the features you use most.

Use the Catalyst™ Control Center to access a comprehensive online help system, or connect to the ATI Web site.
