Are both the same ?

What does fxaa/txaa stand for?

anisotropic filtering is a method of sharpening textures, antialiasing techniques like fxaa/txaa are a method of reducing jagged edges in images and making things look smoother (with degrees of success)

fxaa: fast approximate anti-aliasing. because it's fast, and approximate. you can do it in software with little perfomance cost.
txaa should be temporal anti-aliasing. which is fancy and explaining it would be tiresome. i think the x is superfluous.

Then they are not the same.

anisotropic filtering = good
fxaa/txaa = meh

Not at all.

AF = makes textures look sharper, especially with mip-mapping turned on.

FXAA & TXAA = pretty blurry "post-processing" forms of AA - MSAA and SSAA are certainly better quality, if a bit more taxing.
