    All,

    I have noticed the latest driver releases from say 10.10-11.2 no longer carry the option to disable catalyst AI. For some games this makes a big impact on stability.

    So I started using a software package called Radeon Pro to remove the render frames ahead (the software calls it something else-flip queue size) and have noticed a nice bump in certain games. COD BOPS was a huge difference truthfully. Anyway, my question is... How can you disable or enable the catalyst AI in the newer driver series without Radeon Pro and is their a way to completely disable the "render frames ahead" option in the Registry?

    BW, StevenX

    In 11.2, if you switch the preference to Advance View then go to Gaming on the left side, you should be able to disable Catalyst A.I.

    Interesting. In 11.2 you can however. Here's a screenshot of CCC.
