Just curious to see who uses FSAA for gaming, it was mentioned in another post that people who use online multiplayer gaming don't want the image quality boost at the expense of performance. In my humble opinion FSAA looks awesome and I cringe at the thought of gaming without it!

i bought a V5 for the trump card FSAA, so I like to use it gratuitously!
2x is fine for fast games that shouldn't in theory need FSAA
4x is fine for simulators or any game in 640x480
1024x768 is high enough for any game and works on all modern monitors.
I think the soft blurring is an acceptable price for cleaning up the image, and you can often get away with 2x on the V5. 3dfx gave us a good LOD bias too.
I'm not surprised owners of GTS and Radeon don't see much gain in FSAA. with those cards I don't either.

I have a Voodoo5. I use FSAA in every game except UT/Q3, and whether or not I use 2x or 4x depends on the game.

I have a GF2 GTS, I have the 2X AA on for Half-Life/Counter-Strike and Unreal Tournament. When playing Quake3, I turn off AA.

No matter what video card I'm using I generally prefer higher resolutions to FSAA.
