sunsanvil Peon Posts: 8 Joined: 12/10/2012	I'm a bit of a noob with Radeon having used the green N for the past decade or so. Loving the HD7850, but I have a question about game profiles. I see how I can make my own 3D App Settings for a given exe, but I'm used to the other guys providing premade ones with optimal settings for the most popular games. I thought thats what I was downloading for the Radeon here: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/catalyst_application_profiles/AMD_Catalyst_12.11_CAP2.exe But after installing I still dont see any pre-made profiles (in fact, I dont really understand what that installs). Can someone please bring me up to speed? Thanks.

Uninstall them using 'remove a program' on your PC.

The latest one contains all the previous changes. Just download and install the latest one and be done with it. Make sure you uninstall the old CAP before installing the new. ------------------------- Intel I7 960 @ 3.87ghz Intel DX58SO HIS HD6970 2gb Corsair TX650M 2x4gb Corsair XMS3 WD Black 1TB Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Gateway HD2401 24" 2ms 1920x1200 *Asus N71Jq laptop Intel I7 720QM Processor Mobility Radeon HD5730 1gb 8gb Ram Windows 7 64bit *Acer 5750 laptop A clear conscience is usually a sign of bad memory *
