Its all about preferance.You have agreat GPU and you should have good fps rates even while AA is on except for hard games such as Crysis.
I'd say try to make your visual settings higher and higher untill you feel that the game is not longer playable with the low fps

Lag/framerate issues are a hardcore PC gamers worst enemy... select it so that the it changes with the software becouse not every game is as graphicaly demanding... you dont want to be stuck with 8xAA in Crysis.

I tend to squeeze the most performance out of my setup that I can... kinda thought every one was like that hope most are I just hate laggers when playing BF2142 or COD4.

As a hardcore kind of player, it's all about FPS. You want a solid 60FPS at all times, at least in FPS games.

In RTS or RPG, 30FPS will be fine. But in a competitive shooter, 60FPS is what you want.

I usually go for quality but I rarely turn on the AA on demanding games (Did I say "games"? I meant "game".) because it affects performance way too much!
