Which gives better image quality on NV cards. Was running fraps in bio shock it was not going below 56+ fps with all on high 16xaf

They are both about the same now, 169 drivers (or was it from the 163's or something), changed Multisampling, its now as good as Super, but without the big hit Super gives. 
I just use Super all the time, especially on the 8800 series as I find most games are still playable. Plus it has "super" in the title, so you know it's good. Lol "It's made from real panther... so you know it must be good." Haha.

Was the 167's.
New Transparency Multisampling Algorithm
NVIDIA also now has a new transparency multisampling algorithm in use that it has implanted in its latest drivers. This new algorithm works on every GeForce 8 series video cards and is not restricted to just the GeForce 8800 GT. This new mode is employed by the latest drivers, version 167.37 and the new 169.01. NVIDIA has developed a new transparency multisampling method that has image quality almost similar to transparent supersampling but without the large performance hit. This new mode replaces the previous TRMS with a new TRMS; the option in the driver control panel is still labeled the same however. NVIDIA claims that the new TRMS mode is on average 6% slower than standard 4X AA. This feature will certainly be welcomed as we can enable TRMS and receive better antialiasing on alpha textures compared to the previous algorithm, with less of a performance hit than TRSS takes.
Super will still be the best though, although you might be pushed to spot the difference between the two now.

Thanks for the replies. Before it told you what the particular setting would do ie . increase image quality or increase performance. But since the new control panel was introduced in doesn't any more.
