    Hey guys. Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but here it is anyway.

    Recently I've had a problem with CCC (Catalyst Control Center) not remembering the performance settings for Death to Spies, and Death to Spies: Moment of truth. (Got them from the Indie Gala 7 Bundle happening right now if you're wondering.) It ends up using the integrated graphics card instead of utilizing the AMD Radeon 7970M and thus is unplayable. After closing the game CCC always pops up mentioning that there are no settings saved for the application. Going to the Switchable Graphics panel in CCC has the program given a "Not Assigned" setting each and every time even after setting it to High Performance.

    On a related note, this also happens to only 1 other program, Speccy, but is of no consequence.

    Settings for other applications get saved normally (Skyrim, Dota 2, Civilization V, Google Chrome, etc.).

    My setup: Clevo P150EM, Intel Core i7 3720QM @ 2.60GHz, 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz, AMD Radeon 7970M

    I don't mind not being able to play the games, since I got them really cheap (and mostly bought the bundle for Kings Bounty: Armored Princess anyway) but if there was some way this could be fixed then that would be awesome. :)

    You can try to open CCC and load program default settings from the upper side menu.
    Close it down, reopen it, try add a profile and see if that sticks.
    If not you could try to reinstall the gpu driver, clean it with driver sweeper in safe mode (or driver fusion) and install it back.
    It sounds like that CCC is corrupted.
    If you don't know how to do it, hit the guide in my signature, it should help.

    Default settings worked. Thanks!

    The game has an annoying tearing issue though that makes it look like I'm viewing a split screen. V-Sync makes it worse. Sigh.
