Never had that problem with GTA that he mentions. I have gone through two Live profiles, and renamed one of them 3 times, I just move the save from one to the next.
I was using an issue a friend of mine had - I can't say first hand how the GTA hashtag/profile thing works.
I can tell you how it worked with Street Fighter IV tho:
If you go to C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\Content you'll see a couple folders. Those are your Windows Live Profile unique hashtags I was referring to before.
C:\Users\{username}\Documents\CAPCOM\STREETFIGHTERIV is where SFIV saves are stored. There's a couple folders in there also - named EXACTLY like your "unique hashtag". All I had to do, in my scenario, was create a new folder with the new unique hashtag from my recovered profile, and drop the save from the other profile in there, and everything worked.
From what I've been told, GTAIV keeps that profile/savegame pairing inside the save file itself. There's a shitload more information about GTAIV savegame profile migration here:

I guess I'll stop talking about this now, since this is a Steam thread. I would just like to say that I think this is IDIOTIC. Savegames should be clean and allowed to be copied at will. It's just that, with a little of googling and half a brain, you can figure out everything you need to know to backup and restore your saves properly, if you so desire. Sometimes is just easier to start it all over again, but it's not impossible to fix it.

I'm probably sounding like a broken record by now, but:
Just save yourself the trouble by trying to manually backup GFWL saves and just use gamesave manager.
While that's a great advice, it wouldn't have helped me. I never lost my account - I changed email addresses, which meant I had to retrieve my account from the Live Cloud again, which created a new hashtag. And there was nothing I could do to prevent that (aside from not changing my email address).
Knowledge is always better, as I could fix my Street Fighter IV save issue, and I could prolly fix my Arkham Asylum save, if I so desired.
ATI cards can't do AA (except MLAA I guess) and no matter what you'll never hit 60 so in that sense your rig will probably handle it as well as everyone else's.
