This is considered an ''Performance Upgrade" ? [SU5][ personal experience]

I might be wrong but these simple tests will help revealing where lies the problem if any.

However what is possible is a NVidia bug like the one I’ve found with anisotropic, but this time also on Nvidia AA settings. In other words, you once set NVidia AA overrides, you’re now reverting to “let app decide”, but in fact it is no longer doing any AA, like it is no longer doing any anisotropic filttering in the bug I’m describing here:
