    I have a XFX Nvidia 6800 GT. If i set it to 4x Antialiasing and Anisotropic, will the card become less powerful?

    The power of the card stays the same, except that with AA & AF settings you make the card work harder, so you will get less FPS, but the image appears smoother. You need to find the settings that suit your gaming purposes. I run my card @ 4x AA & 4x AF & still get 40+ FPS in Far Cry. All settings in game are set to max.
