How do you set custom AA settings for a particular game in catalyst control centre?

[Alfie]

I am new to ATI and with the Nvidia control panel you could just add the .EXE file to the list and edit the 3d setings.

I want to run Mass effect 2 with AA forced but I only want 16xAA to be forced in that game alone. Is there an easy way of doing this?

It seems this basic functionality is missing!!!!!

Thanks.

yes, i've looked and it is just awful compared to the nv control panel. I'm not some turd that hasn't read the tweak guide and hasn't investigated the CCC itself.

I just can't believe how terrible it is!!!!!

This was not an i'm new to ATI so i have no brain at all thread!!! I can see your "way" of doing it but it's ****

FFS, you lot would be pretty angry if a game didn't save your controls/graphics settings within the game menus so why should you tolerate it in CCC.

If I worked for Nvidia or ATI I would employ people to reduce the number of mouse clicks when setting profiles. I would pay them well for it. It's the BASICS!!!

Nvidia 1, ATI 0

Ive had Ati cards for years now so I dont know what the nVidia system is like but I have never had a problem setting up a couple of profiles for games in CCC.
Choose the settings, save the profile, you can set the profile to start the game, simple

Do nVidia just give you a profile set for a game already? What about catering for the different output of gfx cards, are the profiles different for each card?

The Nvidia CP is fantastic for game profiles. You can choose from a huge list of games which get updated with every driver release or you can add any exe file. When you select a game or EXE you get a plethora of options underneath (way more advanced than anything ATI offers (FACT!). When you then launch the game (yes you can use the actual game icon) it activates the profile. And guess what, when you exit the game it reverts back to default settings.

I don't see how people are even begining to question the rubbishness of ATI profile management, it's terrible.

You have to remind yourself to disable and enable profiles all the time. It's crud.

Erm, the settings do not revert when you close the game so it's pointless. Plus it wont correspond to other links like autorun from disk and the games menu.

And you have to chage the settings overall, save a profile and then revert to factory everytime you set up a profile.

Are you lot living on a different planet where you can tolerate such a huge fail?

I love nvidia and there driver support but i have to say i went round to a friends house last week and set there ati card up plus the aa settings and it was really easy.

Yes it's easy but ****. Hence I made this thread as I couldn't believe the funtionality was that bad and I thought I was missing something.
