I would like a side by side comparission as well, showing the one that better smooths the pre-rendered backgrounds, or if there's any difference at all. If anyone is up to this task, please do it.

FXAA HQ is the best, FXAA 3 is just standard fast approximate anti-aliasing with 3 passes.

[Parapluie]

The normal FXAA is the best for me, with the two other ones the aliasing is still really visible.

FXAA blurs everything pretty much.
FXAA3 is much less blurry and performs just as good as FXAA.
FXAA3 HQ is exactly as blurry as FXAA3 but performs even better at smoothing edges.

Unfortunately I deleted my comparison screenshots, sorry about that.

After a bit of testing, I'd say always preference FXAA-HQ; it's basically a more refined, less intensive version of FXAA3.
Now TXAA2 and TXAA4 look fantastic, cleaner more consistent edges and a more realistic tone in general, BUT, it will eat your frames for breakfast (probably cooked them on your GPU, it'll get that hot).
