Hey, I'm trying to figure out what is the most economic way of making my game look its best.

(Battlefield 3 btw)

My graphics settings are:

Texture Quality: Ultra
Shadow: Ultra
Effect: Ultra
Mesh: Ultra
Terrain: Ultra
Terrain Decoration:Ultra
Anti Aliasing deferred: off
Anti Aliasing Post: off
Motion Blur: on
Anisotropic Filter: 16x
Ambient Occulsion: SSAO

Right now my system runs these setting between 39-47 FPS, however sometimes dipping to 35 FPS in the most demanding situations, and peaking at 50 FPS.
I am aiming for a 40 FPS as that is what the human eye can see, im not one of those guys that swears by 80 fps.

So what I'm asking is... Should I turn some of the Ultra's to highs in order to turn on some of the Anti-Aliasing? If so which ones? And is it worth it to turn down the Anisotropic filter to gain FPS? Does Anti-Aliasing add a lot to the image quality?
