CCC vs just the display driver

[opethdisciple]

Hi people.

Since for as long as I can remeber, I have alwasy avoided the CCC, becuase I hate making things far too complecated, and just like the fact I can install the display driver and job done.

However two months back I purchased a 5870.... and was wondering if Im holding back performance by not using the ccc and the catalyst AI?

All games run fun however..... no problems....

What I really want to know is if the x-fire profiles work without CCC installed.

This is one aspect I didnt like when ATI/AMD split the profiles off from the CCC.

They didnt tell anyone how things worked.

As far as I understand, (but I may just be spreading misinformation) the profiles arent linked to the ccc.

Also on Rage3d, they rekon even single card configs should install the application profiles......

I have the profiles installed along with the display drivers, and I havent seen any adverse effects, so why not install them....

I think my question referred to the catalyst ai. Not having installed the CCC, an I missing out on any performance fromthe catalyst ai?

Or is that just for crossfire setups?
