These are just straight downsampled. No AA. I'm going to try 2xAA next and see what kind of performance hit I get, but I can honestly live with this as even Very High FXAA doesn't get the aliasing I see since it's usually stuff that's shimmering like brick walls and lit-up edges.

So how much better does MP3 look on pc compared to the console version?

Look at the pics on the last few pages, considerably better, and can be easily run at 60fps on moderate systems.

Gosh those Max Payne 3 shots are gorgeous. I may have to give it a whirl on the PC.
Agreed. Hopefully next time (if there is a next time) the PC's release date will coincide with the console versions.
I'm completely surprised and incredibly impressed by how great of a port Max is. Amazingly well optimized.
I just wish it wouldn't cap you. If I want to run it at 16x+ MSAA, at 10 fps, then I should be able to.
Otherwise no complaints.

Personally, just because a game runs great doesnt make it a great port, the controls and UI are important factors, both of which could do with some serious tweaking. Its in the same realm as GTA IV for me (which i also thought was good port after a couple of patches, but control wernt perfect and the UI sure as hell wasnt the most intuitive for a mouse).
Finally got Witcher 2, haven't had much time to play it because I'm still trying to get the settings right. Here's a comparison:
All settings maxed, ubersampling OFF (regular AA on):
Then I set it to these settings. Turning off bloom/blur/DOF/all that garbage doesn't improve the framerate much (from 56fps to 59 in the shot below), but it looks better.
So, ubersampling ON:
While it maintains 50-60fps, playing with ubersampling crashes my PC every time. Sometimes it lasts 10-15 minutes, other times it freezes immediately upon starting, but I can't get through the tutorial. It's only stable if I play with ubersampling off, but then it's not pushing my rig and it just doesn't look as good.
Is this a bug, or is my air cooling just not good enough for the GPUs to get strained like this? This is the first game that really uses every drop of GPU power I have, and it seems the cooling just doesn't hold up. Not a good sign...

There's a Witcher 2 PC performance thread for just this. I'd link it but I'm on my phone.
I wouldn't expect this to happen any time soon. They took the time to add platform-specific features for DX11, and it's optimized as Hell. Not saying I wouldn't like the interface to have been changed up a bit, as well as the loading cut down during the cutscenes and things like that, but I'll take a port like MP3 over LA Noire any day of the week.

Just be glad your normal AA works. I haven't even played it despite owning it since launch because AA does nothing on my computer and the game is so detailed that it's just a huge mess of shimmering pixels. Though, if I want to play at 15fps and slomo, I can use ubersampling.
