Windows 8 Pro Version Install and First Impression

This blog is about the latest news in the Application World, Games, Software and Hardware.

Windows 8 Pro

blitz November 14, 2012 Software 3 Comments

So I just installed Windows 8 Pro finally and the first look is good, I think it’s a bit faster than Windows 7 and it looks way better.

I had some issues with the installation of my videocard Ati Sapphire 6990, after I installed the drivers I couldn’t open Catalyst Control Center it was saying that there are no settings so it can’t be open.

I was looking around forums on the inet but I couldn’t find anything to fix the issue. What I did was, I downloaded the AMD Catalyst Application Profiles and I installed over the CCC, after a fast reboot I was able to see the settings in the CCC and I was able to rate my videocard at 7.9, before it was at 4.2 which for a dual GPU card is bad. Apart from the issue with the videocard I didn’t discover anything yet, everything seems to work good.

For 29.90 Euro I think Windows 8 Pro is a pretty good deal.

My Computer specs are:

MB:  Asus Rampage Extreme II

Proc : i7 920 @ 4.2 GHZ

Video: Ati Sapphire 6990

SSD: OCZ Revo Drive PCI-E

RAM: 24 GB @1600 Corsair Dominator

Monitor: Samsung 27″ Syncmaster TA950 3D Led Monitor

    29.99 euro and the license is just for 1 computer, if you have it installed on one you cannot install on another computer you have to buy a new license.
