    AMD introduced a new AI officially with 10.11 desktop. We should see this in 10.12 for mobile. I'll explain quick so some won't be confused.

    Old Way:
    Off - Best visual quality. No profile optimizations. Also means Cross-Fire is disabled. Cross-Fire requires AI.

    Standard - Standard optimizations

    Advanced - Best visual/performance. Sometimes performance is better than standard, sometimes not as good. It all depends, it's more on the side of visual quality I believe. It's confusing.

    New Way:
    Performance - Optimizations for Performance

    Quality - Emphasis on quality

    High Quality - No optimizations, highest visual quality

    The new method doesn't allow you to turn off the AI. But High Quality provides the same visual quality as turning off the AI. The reason why they did this is for Cross-Fire users. Now Cross-Fire users can have highest quality possible, no optimizations while still having AI enabled so they can use Cross-Fire.

    Hope that helps.

    Interesting. Sounds like mobile 10.12 will be a nice bump up hopefilly, it may be time to leave 10.7 finally, MLAA sounds interesting to say the least. I know theres a mod version but would like to stay with factory drivers.
