Using ATI Catalyst
The ATI Catalyst Control Center is a graphical user application that provides access to display features
contained within the installed ATI hardware and software. The Catalyst Control Center fine-tunes your
graphics settings, enables or disables connected display devices, and changes the orientation of your
desktop. Many of the features show you a preview of the changes before they are applied.
NOTE:

The Catalyst Control Center provides two views of the software:
• Standard View is a simplified view that includes wizards to get the inexperienced user up and running.
• Advance View allows the advanced user to access and configure the complete feature set of the
software.
