Hi!, I have a big question, well recently I downloaded the Street Fighter IV and the Resident Evil 5 Benchmarks, I was looking how my system perfom with and without AA, the difference in performance was significally, but something that I notice (or maybe I not) was that I can´t detected the difference bettwen playing with x2, x4 and even x8 AA has well has without AA, I don´t know if maybe I not a good"observer" o what :/, can someone can help me to explain me how the AA can improve the quality in the games?, it would be better if you have some pictures comparing this things. Thanks!!

depends on the game, some games are very very noticeable while others aren't bad.

Are you running at native, perhaps it is so blurry anyway you can't notice the difference.

Jaggies, must die is my attitude, no matter the res, they persist.

If you don't notice it then no.

If you do then yes.

AA is all about image quality, what resolution are you playing at anyway. If its high enough then i can see how someone who is not as discerning as the next person might not notice the differance that much.

Im playing at 1920 x 1080, maybe its all about I not a goo oberserver, hehe, thanks!

Well i wasnt trying to insult you, everyone is differant and if you are sitting a sensable distance away fron the screen then i fully understand how you could see very little or no differance at that resolution.
