8x SGSSAA?

I was wondering if you guys play any games with 8x SGSSAA, and what your performance is like.

I'm hoping to compare a few of your results with mine, which is relatively poor atm. My single GTX 670 gets as low as 15 FPS in Mass Effect 2, ~20 average.

Thank you, for your time.
 
Wtf is with these new random names for AA. That being said, SGSSAA offers less eye candy in some areas of games then its younger brother SSAA.
 
SGSSAA will be slow no matter what. The way in which it removes aliasing is very, very graphic intensive. Also, It will generally not work in games that do not have native MSAA, it probably will not work in Mass Effect. Although, since you can only enable it via nvidia inspector it is worth trying sometimes.

Also, I wish certain reviewers would realize that Transparency SS is not true fullscreen SSAA. BIG difference between transparency SS and SGSSAA. There are reviews here that refer to Transparency SS as fullscreen SSAA which is not the case, cough cough cough. One actually does a ton of work and the other doesn't.

Sounds about right.

Think about it this way... Running 8xSSAA on a single monitor is about the same, performance-wise, as driving an 8-monitor surround setup.
 
I get about 40fps standing on the bridge in ME2...

Not particularly playable though. I normally play with just 4X SGSSAA and get 60-70fps roughly. Be sure to use the 0x08009CC5 AA flag for best performance.

This is on an overclocked GTX580, spec's in sig...

SGSSAA stands for sparse grid supersampling anti-aliasing. As long as you tweak the lod bias it looks very good.

I don't know what you mean by it "offers less eye candy than ssaa". There are a few different types of SSAA like ordered grid, rotated grid, and sparse grid to name a few.
