Are there any tweaking guides for ATI cards? : V

» Thu May 31, 2012 11:34 pm

I know that there are NVidia guides, but are there any specific ATI guides? I have two HD7970s running in Crossfire.

Of particular interest would be how to get supersampling to work... I get nothing but artifacts when I force it through Catalyst Control Center.

For image quality, the in-game FSAA works better than forcing through CCC (HD 6970)

Not really... yes, it does show a lot of general tweaks, but there is nothing addressing "out-of-game" tweaks (I consider out-of-game tweaks to be anything not adjustable through the options menu, console menu, or .ini files... in other words, driver related tweaks). In the places where you would expect something about Catalyst Control Center, it actually says, "For NVIDIA users." So it is a good general guide, but not ATI-specific.

The problem is that I should be able to run supersampling (my computer is more than capable of processing it), which you can't do in-game, but it's not working with Skyrim (it artifacts all over the place). Adaptive MSAA works, but you can't use the "enhance application settings".

The same guy that made this tweak guide already has a ATI tweak guide, thats what I meant.

I completely get it, since I have the same thing. That's why I said in-game FSAA is the best you can get now. Maybe AMD will get their collective heads out of their bungholes and fix this someday.

In the meantime, you might not get 100% jaggy free image, but you do get better FPS than with SuperSampling. Some people also have said to combine FSAA (like 2XAA) and FXAA and they are happy with the results.

I think http://www.gamesas.com/user/668485-earwicker7/ was referring to the specific Skyrim NVIDIA Tweak guide.

You need to revert back to Catalyst 12.1 to fix that AA artifacting issue. It's not a Skyrim issue.

No doubt. Very satisfied indeed.

If I remember correctly, there is something on the 12.3 drivers that ends up trumping the 12.1 drivers for HD7970, but I can't remember what it is right now... it seemed important at the time, because I did notice this, and I still decided to go with 12.3.

12.3 is fine for your 7series my 6970 works fine with it in Skyrim.
