I only changed texture filtering to High quality and disabled surface format optimisations, my usual settings for skyrim. AA did work for skyrim with older drivrs 10.10 IIRC but caused major fps drops with EQ mode and made vram usage jump to 1700MB from 900 with ingame 4xAA, SSAA worked perfectly fine though. sadly it seems driver AA was disabled with later drivers, haven't tried it with these yet.

Oh i see, disabled aa must be a bug , hopefully be fixed with these.

@Whiteligtning howit works with SKyrim and 4870x2 ???

With my 4870 CF configuration and 11.11C CAP3 driver i get very bad performance and only 1 gpu has process time the other is constant at 0% GPU.

ANd when CF is enabled and i turning in Cities i get very heave stucking when i turning my charakter, when i diable CF and turn in citys is it smoothly.

So i will test with these driver and post my experience in aa few hours.....

Hope I can get it to work.

Wow, AMD have finally added per-game application profiles... years after NVIDIA? About time! That really is terrific news as it really is the one thing that totally put me off buying an AMD card ever again. This means that my next choice of card doesn't necessarily have to be from NVIDIA. I really hope AMD continue to expand and improve on this feature.

Well done, AMD! Great to know that those seven months of my sending profile requests to you when I had my HD 5870 CFX setup didn't fall on deaf ears.

Darren Hodgson · 12-13-2011, 13:37 | posts: 9,661 | Location: England

P.S. Being able to force MLAA individually for each game is a step ahead of NVIDIA who currently only support FXAA experimentally through a third-party piece of software called NVIDIA Inspector. The ball is now in your court, NVIDIA, to add FXAA properly to the drivers so everyone can force it for individual games without using Inspector.

I assume Mobility is already set? Downloading later today.

Played BF3 with these, stil got microstuttering.. don't really know what settings to use if i set BF3 with the application profile option. Maybe im doing something wrong?

Kidding. Upgrade to Windows 7, XP won't cut it anymore.

In the console, type this:

RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1

This fixed any kind of stuttering for me, game runs silky smooth

This application profiling is as fake as AMD itself.

I mean it has nothing to do with application profiling it is same function as 'save settings' 3 years ago, lol. Now where is the profiling which I can use to
disable all AMD automatic enhancements for an application or how to fix textures etc for an application base it functioning as designed engine.
