In case anyone hasn't heard the 300.xx beta drivers (w/FXAA support) are now available for all Nvidia cards and wow what a difference. It's gotta be the best update for laptops since MTVU hack. Just wanted to say thanks for implementing it and also show off some comparison shots

0xAA: 91fps > 2xAA: 55fps > 4xAA: 41fps > FXAA: 80fps
Unfortunately it's not perfect - some areas of environment show no difference between 0xAA and FXAA, but wow those legs are smooth
software mode

FXAA off: 96fps > FXAA on: 96fps
For the games that *must* be played in SW it's a sort of double edged sword. Smoother 3D but blurry 2D.
(For anyone who doesn't know, you can toggle FXAA in both SW and HW mode with Page Up key)
