New Features

This release of the ATI Catalyst™ Software Suite includes Crossfire™ enhancements that enable the Alternate Frame Rendering (AFR) Crossfire rendering mode by default so that users will see significant performance benefits across all AFR compatible applications immediately (including newly released applications, so users do not have to wait for a future ATI Catalyst™ release to add Crossfire™ support for newly released titles). Future ATI Catalyst™ releases will add further Crossfire™ performance gains once new applications have been profiled specifically for Crossfire™.

do i need to uninstall my current ccc before installing this 7.4?

you can choose either install without uninstall or just install, because, the setup itself will uninstall previous driver , as in my method, just run the installer and updated to latest

Isn't de more latest de better will be de performance,and is there any big different
in frame rate for Catalyst 7.2 or 7.4...

damn it, this 7.4 killing my gameplay experience, i've got jerkiness in my gameplay, seems like every movement i made, there'll be a lag... well, not too sure if 7.4 cause the problem, but after i install 7.3, it's gone...

luckily...i'm still using catalyst 7.2...

Thanks for your informative post.
