When is AA useless?

[dirtbikeryzz]

I've heard that AA can be useless at times, 8x, 16x and stuff is this true? I'm play at 1900x1200 is the res matters.

its not to noticeable after 8x, at least for me it isnt., all it does is smooth rough edges, heres a website that explains it better than i can http://www.pantherproducts.co.uk/Articles/Graphics/anti_aliasing.shtml

At higher resolutions AA becomes less and less effective. 1680x1050 is about the highest resolution where AA makes noticeable quality improvements. On 1920x1200, to me it wouldn't be necessary to max out AA, or even have it on in the first place.

Yeah, since everything is smaller you wouldn't notice much.
