UPDATE 1.1.1 - AUGUST 7TH
With this update we have enabled TXAA, and The Secret World is the first game in the world to support this anti-aliasing technique! This requires the newest NVIDIA Kepler (600) series of GPU (driver version 304.79 or later). These drivers are schedueled to go out of beta (WHQL) around the 13th of August. To enable TXAA in the video options of the game select "TXAA 2x" or "TXAA 4x" as your anti-aliasing under the video options of the game. Please note that you must log fully into the game before you can select TXAA.
