Need profile AMD Radeon™ HD 7970 too much tearing in graphics

[prymortal]

HD7970 works well if you use the right drivers from the older versions, sorry cant tell you which as i'm long past that probliem. as for its gaming settings you dont really need to do anything. ~ i'd probably set yours back to defult for now. do below. then adjust the amd ones back 1 by one. if you feel the need.
(windows 8 works well driver wise with the 7970!)

4xMSAA, crank general drawing quality to max + all the others
On graphics, tick: depth of field, disbale cutscene effects, enable hardware mouse Only
(dont tick Ambient Occlusion!!!! google it if you want to know why)
Then texture quality high, texture filtering Highest.
Inside the game (config) turn it to 60 fps & you can turn on extended drawing on + any others you want as it can more than handle them.

more than enough power to handle it properly & bearly works up a sweat.
