    Thought it was worth reading, really shows what MLAA does compared to other forms of AA. Also doesn't mention anything about this magical low performance hit. A lot of people seem to be under the impression that its supposed to have a minimal performance hit, but that's when only compared to adaptive SSAA. In reallity MLAA can range as low as 10% up to around 50% depending on the resolution.

    I hope ATI makes proper MLAA drivers for laptops.. i don't like modded ones.. causes crashes for me. The hit is also too high .. it should be much lower.
