Although it depends on many many factors (hardware, software etc), but think of stuff like AF and AA as a multiplier on your resolution.

Really Heliocon - what did we say about "trying to pick a fight?" - lets take a deep breath before posting like this next time?

And to the subject - if a game runs with good fps at 1680x1050* with a mid range GPU like we saw in the "leaked video" - then it's just a question of throwing hardware at the problem to get it running fine at higher resolutions - or? In the good old days the memory bandwidth was such a problem that higher resolutions caused massive drops in fps, but in the top of the line cards today the loss is really not that bad which can been seen in the review below (using 4x AA - none of the cards are even close to halving their fps when going up a "notch" in resolution from 1680x1050 to 1920x1200 - not even the budget cards):

*/ The resolution 1600x1080 you mention is none I'v heard of (sorry it was too fun not to comment on that when you call us plebians )
