Glad you've gotten yours to look good for you. Had you read past the first post, you would have seen that I completely discounted allowing the game to manage FSAA and AF.
Be well, people of CoH.

I found Bill's guide to be completely dead wrong. I printed it out and followed every check box in the guide, and the result was horrible quailty graphics with lots of stair stepping edges. It looked horrible.

Dead wrong for your system? Perhaps.
Graphic settings for each computer and each person is very subjective. If you had read the entier thread, you would have noticed that for BillZ, without FSAA it makes his eye bleed. But for others, they don't see a difference between FSAA on and off at high resolution.
It looks to me, that with BillZ's guide, and some subjective changes, you have gotten your CoV to look better, but it's pushing your system too far as you said and you're going to scale it back. So in that case, I would have to say that BillZ's guide HELPED you, and you're not willing to admit it and thank him for it.
For me, some of his suggested tweaks didn't work for me, others did work for me. Overall I'd have to say his guide helped me, and it helped YOU get better graphics that are still playable.

Just noticed Damage Proc Mini-FAQ wasn't working with new forums, it's been updated.

So I played with the ATI settings myself and got an amazing image that very playable. If anything I'm gonna drop from "very high" to just "high" so I don't get those load times when I go into new areas. Other than that it's pretty much perfect.
