3D Panel:
This panel has options to add custom game profiles (performance/quality/FSAA/Filtering settings, etc.) for specific games, even those that do not have options to enable options like FSAA. I've mirrored a copy of the Caveats/notes on specific game issues below taken from the ATI Displays readme file.
(BTW: Recent ATI Displays versions (like 4.4.2) enabled this option even for OEM Radeon models. Previously it was only enabled for retail cards so we used a reader's Radeon Enabler patch for OEM cards.)
The above screenshot shows a "Unique" profile I created for Quake3 via the "add" button, which pops up a file browser where you select the game app location. Then you can select specific performance/quality options that will be used automatically when that game is run.
The above screen shows some of the standard profile options you can select either as-is (with their default settings) or create your own "unique" profile with the game-specific settings you prefer.
The next section has a list of known issues with some specific games that's included in the ATI Displays readme.
3D/GL Override Caveats: (from the ATI readme file)
The following is a list of games that have been tested and noted to have a problem using ATI Displays' 3D Overrides. The problems are being investigated and ATI will work with the developers to address these and other issues as they are discovered.

| Sim Theme Park |
Annoyance |
FSAA causes splash screen not to clear during Feral/BullFrog movies (should be black bars) |

| Tiger Woods 2003 |
Annoyance |

|
| Otto Matic |
|

|
| Spyhunter |
|
Application cannot be selected from file dialog. Mac OS' file dialog does not see the Spyhunter file as an application |
Changing the game file's Application type to "APPL" will allow file dialogs to identify it as a valid application. From a terminal: "SetFile -t APPL filename.app" - requires DevTools be installed or Resorcerer may be used instead. |
