Just so you understand, the ATI Catalyst Control Center actually chews up some CPU resources as it attempts to add to what you can set in the Skyrim configurations directly... thus, giving you an instant frame rate hit by disabling it or not assigning Skyrim specific graphic profiles. You can simply use NotePad and edit the INI file as it has loads more Skyrim specific settings than the CCC, which only has generic graphic tweaking functions. Go and seek the Nexus forums on Skyrim tweaks to see how it is done to really enhance your game.
