Slippy recently pointed me in the direction of the new ATT version which has support for the 2 and 3 series GPU. Don't know if this is new to this version or not but earlier in the year i had a friend who had the hardware and was interested in trying it but there was no version that supported it and we got fed up waiting.

Anyway after a system upgrade i now have the hardware and the support so will be running some tests to see what a 3850 can do with and with out ATT.s help. From what i have seen on screen of the card it could do with some help in the smoothing of the  AA but we will see.

I'm going to see what options are there and go for something as close to what Slippy posted originally and tweak it from there. Any ideas or advice/suggestions welcome.

I have found using different games Grid, Assassins Creed, Crysis and oblivion.That there is nothing that i can do in ATT's settings that can not be achieved equally in the CCC. Slippy spoke earlier in the thread concerning the use of the  tent and box filters and that they may be the equivalent of some of the settings we use to improve the X1000 series cards with ATT (correct me if im wrong slippy).

As i remember a lot of the difference is achieved by enabling the high quality AF features with ATT. Having done some research into exactly what changes ATI made when updating the archetecture the thing that stands out to me as the reason for the lack of sucess is that the high quality AF settings are on by default now. There are some more subtle changes in there that may also make a differance but this one stands out.

 The quality of the image with the HD3850  is when optimised in the CCC just as good as the image acheived by the tweaked 1650XT. (Just my opinion.) I can post a shot if you want ?

I will definatly give the new drivers and ATT a whirl when im next off shift.
