Here's a quick and dirty comparison, using Saints Row The Third. My video card won't let me output higher than this resolution, but hopefully it'll let you see what you need to see. I'm uploading them in their raw form, so you can resize as you see fit without causing extra artifacting or anything.
 
2160x1350, 8xAA:

 
2160x1350, 2xAA:

 
1920x1200, 8xAA:

 
1440x900, 8xAA:

 
A different example.

I would probably stick with 1920 and 8xAA. 2560 and 2xAA looked rather bad in comparison to the 8xAA of both 1920 and 2560. I kinda doubt this would be noticable in game, but if you have the power, put up the settings.

Just make sure to resize them with photoshop or something. If you're sticking with 100% view size, or using your browser's zoom setting to get the images the same size, you might not be getting the proper quality comparison. If one of them is zooming to a weird size (like 64% or something), it's not going to properly crunch the jaggies, making them worse!
 
EDIT: A quick side-by-side.

 
The lower resolution, higher AA one definitely looks better.

Accidentally hit the "record video" button when playing Mafia 2, and took a few seconds of video, so I figured I'd upload it.

Recording at 2160x1350... It doesn't run all that poorly, actually. Just don't ask me to do any longer videos.

I wonder if mine would look better at DS and 2x since I down sample mine from a higher rez. Also, Most games run 4x DS fine, with the exception of BL2 and SR3 so far... I really want a 680! :p

EDIT: I like the down sampled w/ 2x better than the non w/ 8x, look at the fence in the background, and the trees shadow.

Arkham City with down sampling from 2560 x 1600 and 32x CSAA! :D

Ooh, that looks nice. How does it run?
 
EDIT: Some more Crysis 2 shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 
Kind of drives me nuts that I'm just shy of being able to run it in super high resolution. Still, it's nice to play at 40-45FPS like this, so I can't complain too much!

I run Arkham at ~15 fps at that... I should have bought Crysis 2 for $10 the other day, but I had no money. :frowning2:

Sleeping Dogs maxed out on everything except FXAA at 1080p with a custom SweetFX profile. Looks great, playable frame rates of mid 40s as well.

I'd do that without getting Crysis for cheap!

It was only for a few days
