    Matt, could you give us (or find out) an official answer to what exactly does "ACP Application" part of Catalyst package do?
    There has been a LOT of speculations over time with no good answers. It seems like it either has something to do with "average CPU power", or with something related to some audio feature of Radeons.
    It would be nice to know exactly what is it used for.

    It seems to be used for the "True Audio" feature of the R9 290/290X and I think the 260, it won't install if it doesn't detect a compatible GPU and it does create a bunch of "DSP" files so it should be some service or process for that audio API but yeah I have no idea what it truly does either.

    EDIT: The newer versions also have some plugins or whatever they might be.

    I would appreciate if people actually bother to read the name of the thread.

    I AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINIONS AND SPECULATIONS.

    My hex is pretty bad but from looking at the dll. it seems to be a DSP audio engine.

    That's only speculation though. ;)

    If you don't want to start up a discussion, don't create a thread. Message the person the question was directed at.

    I didn't want to be a selfish ******* when this question pops up a lot all the time.
    What an idiot I was.
    Please lock the thread, lesson learned.
