    I apologize if this is covered elsewhere and that the title is a bit misleading.

    I updated to the new Catalyst desktop drivers on my desktop machine last week. I've also updated XFire in that time. Now, when I open World of Warcraft (the only game I've tried since I noticed this) I get two overlapping numbers in the top left corner that show time and FPS. I know they aren't related to any addons because I see them before logging into my account.

    Is this from the 9.X Catalyst drivers, or could it be something in XFire? I can't find options in either CCC or the XFire menus that immediately indicates what's doing it. I just want it shut off.

    I can give more info if you need it and thanks ahead of time!

    xfire im most postiive, as its trying to add features you find in fraps.

    turn off xfire to test. I dont use xfire currently so I cant say where the option is, but if you hunt long enough im sure you will find it.
