This is for all ATI Radeon video card users.
I've tried to show people how to do this before in many different threads. Hopefully this one will be useful to many ATI users.
- Alright the first step: Download the Catalyst Control Center, and install it, if you don't already have it. This can be found here.
- Next: you want to take is double-clicking the little icon that looks like this(it will be in the right hand bottom corner near the time)-
- Next: It will ask you if you want to put the program on Basic or Advanced. You want to choose Advanced. It should look like this-
Spoiler!
- Next: You want to go down to the "3D" tab, and hit the +
- It will drop down some options-
Spoiler!
- Next: Click the "standard settings" tab-Slide the bar towards performance or quality, depending on if you want speed or looks. For slower computers I suggest performance.
- For the following 5 tabs you will want to do the same as the above step, all depending on if you want performance, or quality. Click, "anti-aliasing", "adaptive anti-aliasing", "anisotropic filtering", "catalyst A.I."(for this one I'm not sure what it does ) and then "mipmap detail level" Choose your options for all those.
- Next: You want to go to the "all settings" tab, and scroll down each one, make sure it's what you put the settings on. You can choose to click the "enable geometry instancing" and the "triple buffering" boxes if you'd like.
- Finally: If you play games in fullscreen, or even if you don't I find that if you go to the Notebook Panel Properties tab, then attributes and select the scaling options to "centered" games run a lot smoother-
Spoiler!- Then: You want to hit apply, and ok, and restart your pc (you don't have to restart but I like to).
- Then you are done- ALL games will run or look smoother depending on which way you went, performance or quality
