    Some OpenGL software does not perform anti-aliasing on graphic
    output and the result can be annoying. Sharp lines and edges
    can exhibit the "jaggies." Check this image:

    Note how the green arrow exhibits an extreme staircase effect.

    But the GNU/Linux Nvidia can combat this effect with its FXAA,
    or Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing, setting. Check this image
    for the result:

    Note that the staircase effect is almost completely eliminated.

    Also, FXAA seems to have no effect on video performance.

    I only have experience with NVidia. Do other GPUs have a similar
    anti-aliasing setting?
