double precision is good for gaming because of physics, if some work is best done offloaded from the cpu, and because 32 bits is not enough precision for everything. i imagine fxaa could look better if it used more precision since it is sometimes working on 64 bit rendering targets. and some graphical effects would probably look better too with double precision.
This is absolutely untrue, especially FXAA which doesn't even work on "rendering targets", but rather on finished 2D images.

Games don't need DP and will likely never use said feature.
