Catalyst Control Center - Install..yes or no?

[RageRiot]

Quick question, I have an "MSI Radeon R9 270X Gaming Edition OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card".

I usually disable Catalyst Control Center from starting, should I? What does it do exactly?

Thanks

It let's you manage display and application/game settings. Personally I'd rather have it installed and running then not.

Thanks. I kind of guessed that part, but was more wondering if it does anything other than that (performance or feature enhancements etc) as I only ever use default settings/profiles?

it lets your gpu downclock at idle aswell,without it it will run at full speed/voltage

far as I know it wont enter idle clocks without ccc

If that is indeed true, I'll leave it on - thanks

Unless you are having problems there isn't really any reason to turn it off / prevent it from starting.

I had the extact opposite problem in that it wouldn't start. You could select it and then it would simply do nothing. A tad problematic given I couldn't setup my Eyefinity group without it. Got it working finally although now it won't switch profiles....

I have a work around so no real biggy.
