What does the anti-aliasing actually do?
um...it smooths out the pixels so you dont see things like jaggedy edges
you can try and see how it works out
I've maxed out Anti Aliasing on a much less powerful system. You should be fine.
Here is an example pic of my Miqo'te, with no AA, and then with 16xQ MSAA turned on. See how all the edges with no AA are extremely jagged, and with max settings, its all but gone w/ smooth and rounded edges...
Inflates the user's ego! That's what all the settings do.
Surprised people don't try the recommended settings of 1280x720 w/ 4xAA. I'm able to turn everything up to high and get a frame rate around 20FPS (that's with AO enabled). It's perfectly playable at this frame rate.
Here's a brief capture of the game running...
