it's able to perform 8x multisampling using rotated or jittered subsamples laid over a 4-bit subpixel grid, looping through the ROP taking 4 multisamples per cycle.
It can multisample from all backbuffer formats too, NVIDIA providing full orthogonality, including sampling from pixels maintained in a non-linear colour space or in floating point surface formats. Thus the misunderstood holy grail of "HDR+AA" is achieved by the hardware with no real developer effort.
