Ok guys heres my setup, i got the amd 1090t at stock speeds, no oc. An hd6950 without the flashing tool. *gbddr3 ripjaws.

This is are my settings: anti aliasing- enhance application settings, morphological settings, edge detect.

Anisotropic filtering - is using the application settings.

Tessellation- Amd optimized.

Catalyst AI- Texture Filtering Quality is set to high quality. Plus enable surface optimization.

Vertical Refresh is set to quality so is Anti-aliasing mode.

Open Gl settings is on triple buffering.

Now u guys are wondering why am i even asking this. Well heres the reason sometimes when i install new games and i set the antialiasing mode to high the game starts lagging like hell. I feel like it shouldnt be doing it since the hd6950 is a good card. It doesnt do it with all the latest games, i had problems with cod black ops i see a big drop on fps, games like nfs shift 1 and 2. Sometimes on bad company 2. Maybe modern warfare 2.

Leave it all to "Use application settings", don't use CCC to change settings, change them in-game only.

Its not your GPU causing the problems, its either the games themselves or your just asking too much of your card.

Just to test it out, set a very low resolution in-game, something like 1024*768 and see if your getting drops in games, if you are, its the game, if not come back here.

Just to test it out, set a very low res like I said before, that eliminates that its your GPU causing problems.

Hey i had the same issues with my 5450 so i upgraded to a 6950 and still had the same issue! then i figured out it wasnt the card or how good it was all you need to do is go iinto your 3d setting and set everything you can so that it uses the application settings and every thing else you turn to high quality heres what i set mine to and and fixed every thing you can mess around a bit with it and it might get even better but this got rid of my rediculouse lag BS that i got from tring to crank the **** out of the settings. Anti alias-mode: use app settings, no morpho, standered filtering anisophoric- use app setts tessalation- use app sets catalyst A.I.- texture filtering- high quality, surface format optimization: on wait for vert refresh- on, unless app specifies anti aliasing mode- super-sample AA triple buffering- off i suspect the first antialiasing mode and the triple buffering are the two main culprites of the rediculouse lag but play around with it and if all else fails revert to what works

Alot of games don't have in-game settings for anistropic-filtering, and some don't have a setting for anti-aliasing, so I would set those to 16xAF / 4xAA. Oh, and I would also leave VSync enabled for the games that don't have an option for it...
