z929669 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 AMD Catalyst Control Center GuideGuide ThreadThis thread is for discussion and improvement of the AMD Catalyst Control Center Guide on the wiki. As of this moment, the "guide" is just a few screenshots of my own CCC 3D App Settings setup. I use 2Xfire 6950 1Gb. I recommend these settings for anyone though.

z929669 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 You may need a framerate capper then, I have no such issue with or without that TESV profile. Otherwise, you have a driver issue or some other comparability issue. I'd look on 3dguru.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frihyland Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Here's a nice general ATI guide by the makers of RCRN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelmych Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Besidilo pointed out that the preset information on the ATI guide page, particularly the recommendations for Ultra, has many errors. While I have seen performance tests on AMD/ATI cards at several sites I haven't seen very much on configuring these cards. AMD has a 3D game profile for Skyrim, for only for dual cards. Are there any good descriptions of the configuration choices in 3D application settings in the Catalyst Control Center and how they interact (e.g., effect on VRAM and GPU use) with the settings used in Skyrim (or similar game) setup? The ATI guide mentioned here is the only one I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you specify exactly what errors are on the ATI Guide page and what page that is (PDF or wiki?). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besidilo Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The Wiki page on AMD settings is fine. The only thing you could add is some tweaks to improve the IQ, that carry a significant performance hit. Like switching MSAA to SSAA, enabling AF from the drivers (and disabling the in game settings) or using a different AA filter. I also don't recommend using Vsync without D3DOverrider, but that's just a personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besidilo Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Here's a nice general ATI guide by the makers of RCRN. I've already seen this before. In order to use super-sampling, you must drop the AA to 4x. I have no idea what you need for 8x Super sampling but with crossfire 6950 2gb, it is still not enough for 8x. Crossfire 7970s could do it probably.Yes, the super-sampling is apparently bugged at 8x. I think it's the case with Nvidia cards as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelmych Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Besidilo, how did you configure the Skyrim and Catalyst Control Center configuration files so you could use D3DOverrider? I get a CTD during loading when I try to use it with my AMD 7850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that the game crashes because of the incompatibility with ENB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frihyland Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 As far as ENB being the issue, all that stuff was fixed in version .113, unless D3DOverrider has an overlay there should be no issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelmych Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 WHen D3DOverrider is enabled the game crashes partway into the loading cycle. I tried several combinations of .ini preferences and AMD Application Profile settings but I didn't find a combination that worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechAngel85 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Updated the thread title and link in the OP. If any AMD user wants to tackling updating this guide please feel free. It's horribly outdated at the moment. A good reference would be the NVIDIA Inspector Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
