I wondered if the no FSAA in the tests might bother some folks

Personally, I never use FSAA (one exception where I turned it on by default when selecting Ultimate settings for a game).

Historically, once we got to 1080p, I always set AA to 0 -- makes the game "blurry" to my eyes on a "good eyes" day (normal monitor at about 30 inches view distance). Occasionally 20/15 vision at computer distance on a very, very "good eyes" day. On the other hand, dry eye can somewhat cloud things at other times -- so AA is unnecessary

It has occurred to me that others may see things clearer and have faster eye response than I have. So, they may prefer AA and higher frame rates than are okay for me. Thus, from time to time, I mention that I use 0AA and mention that 30fps looks smooth to me -- so folks understand where I'm coming from when I say something "looks good" and "plays smooth".

In summary, yes, I agree. Giving the FPS both with and without AA seems relevant.

I actually do wonder if the different forms of AA now available and the different AA algorithms used by AMD and Nvidia makes a fair/true "1 to 1" comparison more difficult -- so they just skip AA at times.
