For Dynamic you need to install the beta release link on OP.
ah got it, i just noticed 'FXAA' is that the same thing as FXAA injector?
I currently use that as i don't like the washed out colour of BF3, the FXAA injector just looks so much better....
This was done with FXAA injector, you can see the colour difference, its so much nicer

Doing a command in the gamesettings file like MaxFPS:"30" or something along that line makes it smooth, no stuttering and it doesn't feel laggy or slow.
About Dynamic V-Sync, i do get screen tearing in SWTOR, so i think i'll keep it off for that game and just force V-Sync on instead.

I think the fxaa is just the anti aliasing. You can tho use sweetfx witch is a better version.
It is the injector, same as the SMAA setting, they bundled so much into RadeonPro that it's a priceless piece of software for an AMD GPU user to have installed.
They basically took what people use most often, what people want and thrown it all in.

On the last one i'm sure someone at AMD will say "hey, we should have that" soon.
- Force vSync: yes it does.
- Force triple buffering: Again, yes
- setup an FPS limit: no not yet
- There is an option to enable vsync but it doesn't always work. That is why RadeonPro has various options for "force vsync", because sometimes you need to use a different method to enabe vsync.
- Force triple buffering in CCC is for OpenGL apps only. I did mention this in a sarcastic fahsion with my 1st post
I tried dynamic vsync and it does improve smoothness, but I still notice screen tearing when the FPS dips below 60 as a result of the v-sync being disabled by RadeonPro. I just tell RadeonPro to force Vsync and I get no more screen tearing below 60FPS.
Dynamic vsync does not eliminate tearing below 60 FPS. It is a simple automatic on off switch, = or > 60FPS - vsync on, FPS < 60 - vsync off. Hence the tearing at lower than 60 FPS. Nvidia's adaptive vsync does exactly the same thing.

While I did notice screen tear on farcry3. On hitman I didn't they is some missions were fps drop below 60.
In BF3 i can see very slight screen tearing with D-vSync if i wiggle the mouse vigorously enough, but no where near as much as without the in game vSync alone.
BF3's vSync also creates a very slight micro stutter, you can just see it on walls as your running close to them, the tunnels on the edges of the Grand Bazaar map are a good test for seeing that.
(my favorite map)
With this D-vSync you can turn BF3's vSync off and with that its gone.
I can't seem to get OSD to work, while D-vSync overrides BF3's in game and is clearly working; setting a frame rate limiter does not, it still climbs to way over 80 FPS if i set it at 70 or 60, but that fine as i want high frame rates without screen tearing.
I need to play with it more, but i like it so far

I was about to dump my 7950 and move over to Nvidia just before I found RadeonPro.
The difference it makes is staggering, especially if you force double v sync and 60 fps.
Games go from playable to unplayable (FC3, Crysis 2 and Skyrim).
Highly recommended.

Forcing double v-sync runs the game at 30fps, so you can't have 60fps or use the ingame v-sync, RadeonPro's double v-sync would override it so you would be running at 30fps, unless you mean on separate games? Like Far Cry 3 using double v-sync and Crysis using standard v-sync?

I will also check that out later. 
I am giving this a go as well now, seems great so far although when I want to disable the aero when a game launches and I close the game, the aero doesn't come back on unless I also close radeon pro, is there a setting or something that I need to turn on in order for aero to re-enable once the game is closed without having to close radeon pro?
Edit:
Also how exactly does the sweetfx thing work? I usually just edit the settings file with some config of the Internet and place them in the folder.
EDIT:
Also, which is better to use, dynamic vsync or FPS limit option?

You mean unplayable to playable lol?
Dynamic Vsync is the best option here, it takes priority and stops all stuttering in most games but some still stutter.
AoE3 will stutter no matter what when scrolling around the map, if changed to window mode it will stop this but then when in battle fps will drop really bad. Maybe this game is just badly coded, i know its single core only too.
For SweetFX, you have to extract SweetFX to say MyDocuments so it has it's own folder, go into RadeonPro and create a profile for a game, click the settings button, go to SweetFX and enable SweetFX, then find the folder SweetFX extracted to and click on said folder and then click okay or whatever, then create a profile for a game of your choice, click on the profile for that game and go to SweetFX, upload the settings file and then right click and apply on your profile.
For Dynamic V-Sync, you need to see which games get screen tearing and which don't, if a game doesn't get screen tearing with Dynamic V-Sync then keep using it, if it does, then use Force V-Sync.

harhar, yes I meant unplayable to playable..
When I was crossfired dynamic v-sync was a good option to avoid microstutter.
I believe tomshardware did a report on microstutter and noted that RadeonPro almost eliminated it altogether. It gave comparable performance to SLI (in terms of frame latency)..
