I also use a AMD/ATI GPU, and I read that disabling all setting other than "Force Video Smoothing" in the Video section of the CCC (Catalyst Control Centre) Helps quality, which it did, in my case.
In my XBMC settings, at Settings - Videos - Playback, I have all boxes (well, circles) ticked. Of course proper display calibration helps, too. If you huse a television for your display, changing the input 'type' (not teh actual connection) can heolp picture quality. Abnd I'd suggest a calibration program like AVS HD, which can be found here:. It's a small-ish download that unpacks toa full DVD-rR, and works pretty well.
As for external player switch subtitle on the fly, you should be able to set a Subs hotkey in VLC or MPC-HC to a command that your HTPC inputg device sends (be it remote, wireless kb, etc.)
Most people prefer VLC< but I think teh combo of MPC-HC + MadVR codec is a very nice.
