I have issues with AA in 3D games. I can't run things in the highest rez, and AA even at 640 or 800 (whichever is the smallest I can put it in) would be nice but still slows everything down for me.
I like to put the settings of my games all the way down... I don't care much about looks in them so it is no big deal.
However, there are a few Ps2 games that offer AA versus no-AA (don't remember which) and I always turn it on because it will always look 'better'
however. AA in 2D games is an absolute MUST. Be it through alpha PNGs or even faked up to a mostly neutral edge (tho I don't know why people would do that when we have PNGs with Alpha now...
But yeah.. In 3D games it will oneday be a requirement, that or the rez will be so high that it won't matter. Either way.
Theoretically you can get better performance and looks out of AA in 3D games, cause you will lose all the jaggies that are the best give-away that something isn't real. A high enough rez will do the same. The would have to be greater than HD, as I can still see the jaggies at HD quality. At the same time, a 640 by 480 photo looks like a photo. It all comes down to the AA in that regard.
The lower the rez, the better things will look with AA turned on...
