Anyone familiar with ATI & nVidia hardware?

Ive recently upgraded graphics cards, and I guess what Im having issue with is AA. Not what you would think right off. With my old nVidia card, things were crisp and clean looking. With the ATI card, things look blurry.

Im not totally sure whats up, but what is going on is this.

With the nVidia hardware, running any sort of AA in game, would "blur" most of the graphics. Maybe not really blurry, but made things look too soft. As much as I like AA, I always left it disabled, and ran high levels of AF, keeping nice sharp textures.

What it looks like with the ATI hardware, is like its forcing AA. Looks exactly like when I would force AA with the nVidia hardware. For the life of me, I cannot get it to stop. (Not even sure if thats what the card/driver is doing anyway). Using CCC and forcing global settings seems to have no effect. Using the RadeonPro tool to set a profile for the application, seems to work for AF levels, and (with AA enabled in the .ini file) can switch the different AA modes and levels. Even removing the AA switch in the .ini file does not stop what appears to be AA in game.

Anyone around familiar with this at all?
