the game with the best smoothing ever was pong, that game has like 128xAA! try to apply AA filters to it and you'll see, it won't improve the smothing at all... the game design is superb.
that is just to say.... lower graphics with higher AA is nothing special.... If the cell is used for AA, than that much processing power isn't used for other tasks...
