    go to CCC...select 3d applications then in there you will see default. Click default and apply then run the app.

    You should see anti aliasing, anisotropic filter, catalyst ai, triple buffering etc... just make sure everything's on default.

    what happens is your ccc settings will get corrupted (so to speak) so you need to manually reset the driver. then you test to make sure it's working correctly... then you can go back to re tweaking it.
