I actually fixed my issue!!! I am so happy! After doing a TON of digging around on the inter-tubes I ran across a bit of information concerning mipmaping. The setting that is selected for this in my drivers is directly tied to the quality of the textures displayed in game. The only issue is that all of the new AMD driver sets have taken that feature out, as in you can not adjust it though the AMD drivers. I downloaded a 3rd party (reputable) utility that would let me choose the mipmap setting. It's called ATI Tray tools. My system was set to "Performance" by default for mipmaping. I swapped it to "Quality" and that made the HUGEST difference. It's like I am playing a whole new game! I hope this helps someone out in the future!
