For OpenArena on the Radeon X1800XT graphics card with Linux 3.8 + Mesa 9.1-devel, MLAA isn't quite as demanding as MSAA. However, neither MLAA or MSAA was usable for this open-source game. There was little change in performance between 2x and 8x MLAA for the depth version, but unfortunately the average frame-rate throughout was a mere six FPS. Running without MSAA/MLAA was a 50 FPS average.

The World of Padman results are sadly similar to that of OpenArena.

With Smokin' Guns on the Radeon X1800XT with the R300g driver from Mesa 9.1-devel Git, the MLAA performance is even worse than MSAA.
