Half Life 2 it's clearly visible. The resolution of the screenshot is irrelevant as you're viewing it on your high resolution monitor.

You're making a slightly cyclical argument here as there's little difference to having the game on low and on high "in the heat of the battle". AF is clearly noticable on textures, at an resolution, and I run it at 16x on all games. Here's a demonstration.
Sorry, but I can barely see a difference.
Also, he said he's on a budget and doesn't need a high-end card, and surely the ATi HD58xx series is one of them. 2 or 5fps more won't make anyone's life better, and drivers can always make them perform better.
Even my nVidia 8500GT is able to handle 1440x900 and 1920x1080 simultaneously, even when playing The Sims 3 on high detail. Sure, it's not like a "OMG-AMAZINGLY-FAST", but runs nicely and didn't make my computer's price skyrocket.
Don't get me wrong, but I really don't see the point of NEEDING to have more than 30fps and other details the human eye can't see.
I have said over and over again he doesn't need a high end card and a high end ATI card keeps getting suggested.
A 9800gt will do him fine.
