    CCC doesnt work in game does ... so you get better performance from CCC with less quality.. its a tradeoff :P

    I honestly don't see a difference with either of them. I still see the sharp angles of the edges with the in-game one on.

    What about the other features of CCC? AI, AAA, and the others. do they work to make the game look better or are they worthless right now?

    Catalyst A.I. in my experience helps quite a bit with performance, I don't see any real visual difference. Only thing is, it does take more CPU power if you have it on advanced.

    mm AA makes a really nice difference, if you arent seeing it then it might not be working for you.

    make sure its set in CCC to use application settings and then try .. if you want to do it without having to open options each time to compare then type..

    /msaa 0 for off
    /msaa 2
    /msaa 4
    /msaa 8 for max

    you can use /showfps 1 to see what reduction in performance is associated with each setting. Obviously you should go somewhere where you arent getting massive fps before you start testing.
