Or is that their primary reason for upping the ROP count? Isn't shader based AA better quality anyway? Games like Assassin's Creed shown this I think. Maybe it has potential, but now isn't the right to employ it maybe? I also heard that devs hate shader based AA, I though it was the opposite? I thought they wanted to control the AA as much as they could with the game itself? Like engine specific sampling patterns or something?
