Preface
Catalyst Control Center (CCC) Anti-Aliasing (AA) only partially augments Skyrim AA, of which the AA sample rate is set within SkyrimPrefs.ini. The CCC Anti-Aliasing Mode settings have no impact on Skyrim AA, so AA must be set in the INI (iMultiSample; 4x recommended). Anti-Aliasing Setting DOES impact Skyrim AA, and so do all other settings under Anti-Aliasing and Texture Filtering. Therefore, the best quality graphics for the least performance impact is described below. Performance options are also specified for those with less-capable video cards.
General
- Open Catalyst Control Center, and click on the [Preferences] button in the upper right. Select Advanced View.
- Under the Gaming section on the left select Gaming > 3D Application Settings.
- Set [Tessellation Mode] to AMD Optimized
- Set Enable Surface Format Optimization to "On", if it's not already.
- Set [Wait for vertical refresh] to On, unless application specifies
- Make sure that [Anti-Aliasing Mode] and [Anti-Aliasing Samples] are set to Use application settings
- (optional) Add "skse_loader.exe" to be associated with as an application-specific profile:
- Click [+ Add] in the left column
- Navigate to skyrim/ and select "skse_loader.exe" to associate these settings with Skyrim ("TESV.exe" should be used if that is the executable used to launch Skyrim).
