Hm, I don't like that driver because I do like BF3. The 314.21 is good for TR, but I get horrible texture flickering in BF3. Not always, but often; but if the game starts ok that does not mean that its ok all the time - flickering every now and then when using dirtbikes and such... I hope it's because of the game, not the driver. I'm so fed up with drivers hardwired to games...

Edit: Oh, despite the links says MOH, its all about BF3: http://battlelog.medalofhonor.com/bf...4490210255683/

Needless to say that disabling AA does NOT help...

You actually get better image quality this way. Because 2880x1800p downsampling involves 1.5x1.5 driver OGSSAA and extra interpolation which results in "softer" (read blurred) image compared to straight up in-game 4xOGSSAA without extra interpolation. You're probably thinking this interpolation artifacts (softer image) being better. But it's not, IMO.

2720x1700 downsampled + in-game 4xSSAA. Looks amazing in screens, even better in motion. I don't notice this "softer" IQ you speak of, though I'm sure it's there. With that being said, here's a few screens which demonstrates that it still looks pretty sharp.

This game looks utterly amazing when played like this, I must say.

EDIT: I play with SweetFX and luma sharpening enabled. This is probably the reason why I don't notice the softer IQ.
