Hard to do 4xAA and 16xAA when you are getting frame rates this low... World in Conflict on High defaults to 2xAA and 2xAF and as you can see it kills most of the cards. I personally don't see the point in running higher AA and AF when the framerates are already under 50-60FPS... I would never play a game with those setting at such a low framerate. As the framerates go higher, we will of course use higher resolutions. Testing was done on Samsung SyncMaster 204B monitors by the way, which go up to 1600x1200. We have better LCD's here, but didn't use them due to the low frame rates.
The same thing goes for Crysis... With in game settings on high the GeForce 8800GT was just over 30FPS... I didn't see the point in putting the Dell 30" on the test system to run it at 2560 x 1600 pixels as it chugs at 1280x1024. The same goes for AA and AF. Plus like you said there is also the issue with time.
