What is the best but least intrusive software for my ATI card?

Hi, I just got a new ATI X1900 XTX. I didn't choose to wait for the 1950, so please, let's not get off on that tangent.

It has been a while since I have used an ATI card in my rig. My last card was a 6800GT (AGP). I would like to adjust some AA and AF settings now that I actually have the framerate in BF2 that will let me turn on some 'eye candy'.

My problem is that there isn't and AA and AF settings inside BF2, so I like to turn them on while on my desktop. I don't want bloated software, just the minimum stuff that will let me adjust AA + AF and perhaps let me make fan adjustments if this gets too noisy.

-Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this, Ken

Riva Tuner will work for overclocking, monitoring and some advanced tweaking.

ATI Tray Tool will help control AA/AF and everything else that you need.

with ati tray tools don't you have to disable the ATi services that change the 2d and 3d clock settings?

Go to graphics options in the menu of battlefield 2 to find the AA options, you must turn on AA through the BF2 menu, and you must turn on AF through CCC or Tray Tools

You are absolutely right. I must have had a brain fart. I have just cranked the AA to 6X and restarted the game.... I didn't see a big difference in the jaggies. I am about to restart my machine and try again... Perhaps I need to try a different map.

I love the Tray Tools program! Thanks for the help.
