Just fitted an ATI 6950 GPU. Could someone help with the extra CCC options?

[Firegod]

Hi all

Just fitted my new GPU, but have a few new options and wondered if any veteran 6xxx series users could say what I should set, enable, disable, please.

Here is what I have set at the moment (aiming for a blend of performance and good IQ for gaming):-

Any pointers? Also, in the Overclock section, what does the voltage slider do? I've never seen an option like that before on a GPU.

Thanks!

PS. Now off to read the Sticky and unlock the extra shaders.

Hmmm anyone have any experience with WinFlash on Win7 x64 with SP1? I can't seem to get it to work.

Personally I would change the Anti-Aliasing to Multi-Sample AA as it is much quicker.

Is there a noticeable IQ difference?

(Thanks for the reply)

I need to learn what some of these mean, the only thing i really understand is aa

I guess forcing aa settings could be a good idea in metro with its stupid uncustomizable graphics settings

IMO MultiSample looks best, in fact it looks better than nVidia AA

OK thanks, I'll set it to Multi Sample.

Yeah I try and force the AA and Filtering. Some games do not like this and can show graphical issues. I then have to go back and say to "use application" instead. But I find 9/10 times, override works fine.

Ignore this now, managed to resolve the issue and posted in the sticky thread.

What the sections are for:
Anti-Aliasing Filter: Box is the simplest AA mode, Edge-detect gives better image quality but can be a lot more demanding. The differences can often be hard to see.

Morphological Filtering: this is a cheap form of AA that is inferior to all other forms of AA, but has the advantage that it works in all games, especially those that don't allow AA. It's something to leave off, unless you're playing one of those games.

Tesselation: the game developers can choose the amount of tesselation used by a game, and reports indicate some are choosing levels which cause a performance penalty without increasing image quality. Through this slider, you can manually limit the amount of Tess. and find the level you are happy with.

Anti-aliasing mode: Multisample is the usual default, Supersampling is better but usually has a huge performance hit. Adaptive is a compromise between them. As with filter above, I think you'd be hard-pressed to see the difference between them in normal play.
