How Do I Install Catalyst Control Centre on Windows 8?
Catalyst Control Centre is a graphics management tool that is used in conjunction with ATI graphics cards in order to manage the drivers and other ATI card specific features from a single console. Although Catalyst Control Centre is automatically installed along with the ATI graphics driver installation most of the times, in case the graphics driver does not automatically install the tool, administrators can manually download it from AMD's official website and install on the computer as a separate entity.
