Is it better to use Catalyst settings or have the Use application settings (checked)
I didn’t (aside from occasional driver bugs). Are you overclocking anything?^ Really? I always had crash issues with CCC when trying to force settings through the CP.
Yes, definitely try your new card. nVidia has better AA compatibility at the driver level than ATi does, so you may find you can force AA into games you couldnt before.Nope, my 4870 just never liked forced settings, never really looked into it. I will try with my GTX 460 though, maybe it was just a brand thing.
