HD4850 and Cat8.6Hotfix AA/AF Settings In-game and in CCC

[kppanic]

Hello,

I just got my HD4850 yesterday for CAD$209 (yay~) and it's just blazing fast. I moved on from X800 too, so the performance boost in just indescribable.

Question is as follows:

Now that I can turn up AA and AF, unlike on my previous X800, I've noticed the AA settings in CCC.

If I "uncheck" the box that says "use application settings" and force CCC to use, per se, 8xAA, and then ran CoD4 and selected 4xAA in-game, which setting would take precedence? Would it always run at 8xAA as per CCC?

Also, on a side note, I've noticed that if I used ATIOverclock in CCC, the primary monitor would start to flicker at a random interval. I've read in various forums with people having or not having similar problems. Is there a fix on top of this "hotfix" for this?

Thanks.

but my question was, if I forced the AA settings on the CCC(i.e. always had it on 8x), what would happen to games with individual AA settings?

I ask this also, because a lot of review sites don't seem to mention the fact that they disabled AA on CCC or something like that. I just wonder if CCC takes precedence over in-game AA settings, and someone has it on FSAA 8x at all times without even realizing it, how that would affect the overall performance... Or am I just smoking crack without even knowing it..?
