Sorry for the ignorance, but how is that different from normal AA?

Oh so i don't suppose it's faster. If anything that sounds more complicated and possibly slower than the other bitchy AA methods.
Yeah, the first pic has "normal" AA. But it doesn't handle textures..that grass is a texture, not geometry.
There are better comparison pics, perhaps, in that article, with fencing from HL2.
Also, this is AA just for these textures, it's not AA applied generally to the scene. You'd still have "normal" AA running in conjunction with it. You can run the "normal" AA without it, if you wish (and vice versa, I suppose).

I don't know it it would be faster . I belive its some where between multisampling and supersampling . Supersampling would fix up those tree branches also but its basicly rendering in 2x the res and scaling it down or 4x the res and scalling it down. Which is much more expensive than multi sampling .
As i've said i believe the r500 is capable of this too though i'm not a 100% positve

Alpha. I've used an older version of it, and the branches are typically all geometry while the leaves are usually in patches of billboards. I'm sure the next-gen versions are a little less conservative with the geometry, but individual leaf geometry is beyond the scope of what PS7 and Xbox6 (I'm sorry, XboXtreme9000) will be able to handle.
I think you can, however, use all geometry for the SpeedTree MAX plugin and use full geometry for a pre-render.
So I guess the next question is...
MS/ATI have stated that with Xenos 4xAA is basically free, and will be required (at 2x a minimum?) in every game. But are they talking TMAA or TSAA or the current form of AA which doesn't get this benefit.
There seems to be a noticable difference, and there's no point saying "Xenos can do it too" if it can but won't do it.
It looks good

Well you should be able to do both.PARANOiA said:So I guess the next question is...

Good question. Anyone know?
G70/RSX supposedly supports sparse grid supersampling (according to Xmas), which is a very nice IQ boost to fix aliasing caused by pixel shaders which today is not helped by MSAA at all, and won't be fixed by alphatomask either.
If sparse grid supersampling is really supported, that you could render-to-texture a supersampled HDR buffer, and use that to get HDR FSAA but at superior quality (of course, it ain't free)
