CCC.exe What is the process?

The CCC.exe process is part of a feature-setting program defined by AMD® for its AMD graphics products, called Catalyst Control Center: Host application (ie: Catalyst Control Center host application) ). Its function is to set various display effects and graphic output of AMD graphics card. This program is generally taken by AMD with a strange name: Catalyst Control Center. The CCC.exe process is part of this program. To implement the settings for the graphics card, this program must be running.

Introduction to CCC.exe Process:

What is the relationship between CCC.exe and MOM.exe?

Often we will find that they will appear in the Task Manager at the same time. The original AMD catalyst, the entire program to achieve the full function of the graphics card "catalytic", requires the support of another program called MOM.exe, they are indispensable. If one of them is banned alone, it is equivalent to doing nothing like a severe disability. You can try it. After the CCC.exe is terminated, the icon in the lower right corner of your computer will disappear (as shown below). After the MOM.exe is terminated, the icon will not disappear, but it will not be able to open the settings window.

CCC.exe and ATI have anything to do?

In fact, AMD did not do graphics card products before, and later it acquired ATI, a well-known graphics card manufacturer. After being acquired by AMD, ATI remained as a graphics card brand for a period of time, but then AMD gave up the name ATI and used its own AMD name, so many people still say that CCC.exe is an ATI graphics card. drive. This sentence is actually not only wrong, there is no ATI, and CCC.exe is not a graphics card driver, it is just a program to set up the graphics card (ie "catalyst"). It does not have a direct relationship with the graphics card driver itself.

After the introduction of Xiaobian, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the CCC.exe process, right? The role of the CCC.exe process is still very large, although it occupies a certain amount of storage space, but in order to better run the computer, Xiaobian is advised not to turn off the process, so as not to cause unnecessary errors.
