So before I had 13.12 decided to install the new 14.4 I uninstalled the CCC and installed the new one.

I noticed in World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14 that there was an increase in jaggies on screen and in the distance, my FPS remained the same but the quality of the graphics decreased.

Before I kept the Multisampling to 2 x and didn't see any type of jaggy. Now I have to keep it on 4x just to get ride of them.

Also, before I kept my CCC gaming settings to default, but now it seems that I have to change my AA settings from multisampling to Adaptive Multisampling to get the trees not to flicker.

Windows 8.1
AMD 8350
AMD R280x

Like I said the performance is the same but the graphics quality decreased anyone have any idea WHY that would happen?

Honestly I feel like kinda bad cause it was working fine and I just kept thinking I should update D:

Any help?

is 14.4 flawed ? or maybe a poor install?

I would just downgrade the AMD drivers. They seem to have bugs with many games.

Well that is a pickle... one thing that I've all ways found fear inducing is the idea of changing/altering my Video drivers. I've read so many stories of people doing so and bricking their system.


Maybe someone can give me a guide on how to do it? on AMD's site they say to uninstall all of the drivers "express" uninstall. BUT wouldnt' that cause all types of issues with my restart?

Some say that Windows will just download the drivers it needs for mouse/keyboard... cpu?

ever so frightful.

so this sounds like issue with drivers? I best bet is to go back to 13.12 full install?

can someone tell me the steps to accomplish that perfectly?

please and thank you.

Just Express uninstall it from the control panel i did it when i had a 290 and it worked perfectly, only problem when u restart is that the screen size wont be native always as the drivers are not installed for the gpu but as soon as u install it again all wil be fine.
