It's unclear to me why some of us think MS team would elect to turn AA off to get a worse screenshot. If a low end graphics card doesn't have an option for AA, then the game most likely does. I have to admire the honesty in that low end shot though.
(I never saw AA as a big performance killer but I could be mistaken.)
AA can have an affect on FPS. My friend who uses FSX can run default scenery with AA turned on, but if flying in PNW, has to turn it off as it seems to have a bigger affect, since PNW is already a big performance killer. So, it can have an affect depending on the system. Maybe not much, but it can. Having the option to turn it off is something common on other games that I've seen as well.
Thanks for the clarification Brandon. I wasn't aware of that.
Then again I don't use much add on scenery.
