Mass Effect 3 Review
Did you return settings to default yet, and remove the Inspector?
Could you post your ini?
Also, Nvidia recently released a new driver version. I would try downloading that and doing a clean install (custom install, check the box).
Next, if you haven't made any changes to the .ini, add the following line under [System.Settings] bAllowPostprocessAA=True
Note that with your resolution you may not receive the same results using AA, AF, QCSAA, CSAA, MSAA etc. Start with just AA at 4x for you screen size. That should cause a noticeable change in your game, if not... it's not working. From there, you would then try forcing AA using the Control Panel. Add ME3 by clicking on the Manage 3D settings, clicking the Program Settings tab, click the Add button, and navigate to you install directory (ie. * Mass Effect 3BinariesWin32MassEffect3.exe).
From there enable Antialiasing - Gamma Correction, and set Antialiasing - Transparency to 4x.
Again, if no changes can be seen, there is an underlying issue. Try reinstalling the game.

Key Bindings & Commands
From Mass Effect Wiki Guide (PC Tweaks)
Key Binding:
bioinput.ini > sfxgame > sfxgamemodedefault > bindings
On the right side of the editor you will see the existing keybindings. Scroll down to the bottom where there will be a blank line. Add any new bindings one at a time. Press ‘enter' once you've entered a new binding to start a new line.
Examples:
( Name='NumPadSeven', Command='initcredits 9000000″ )
( Name='NumPadEight', Command='setrenegade 1000″ )
( Name='NumPadTwo', Command='setparagon 1000″ )
( Name='NumPadZero', Command='God' )
( Name='NumPadZero', Command='ENABLEPOWERCOOLDOWN 0″ )
( Name='F4″, Command='givesupergun' )
( Name='F5″, Command='givesuperarmor' )
If a binding doesn't work, check ' and spacing in the code.
Mass Effect 3 Graphics Tweaks
Unlimited ammo and grenades on Reload:
( Name='PC_Reload', Command='SwapWeaponIfEmpty | TryReload | initammo 999 | initgrenades 10″)
Individual weapon tweaks:
bioweapon.ini > sfxgamecontent > sfxweapon
If you want to change the stats of an individual gun, such as fire rate, damage, or recoil.
Accuracy
maxaimerror = (X= , Y= )
minxaimeror = (X= , Y= )
maxzoomaimerror = (X= , Y= )
minzoomxaimeror = (X= , Y= )
Me3tweaks
X and Y fields should be the same. Bigger values mean less accurate. The above two values fix accuracy when not holding down right mouse, or aiming. 'zoomaimerror' is for accuracy while aiming.
Crosshair size
Crosshairs DO NOT scale with accuracy. It is up to you to fix the cross hair size to fit the accuracy that you have modded.
maxzoomcrosshairrange = (X= , Y= )
minzoomcrosshairrange = (X= , Y= )
Damage
damage = (X= , Y= )
X is value of weapon damage at level I, while Y is the damage value at level X.
Note: Make sure you also fix the statbardamage attribute to be the same values as the damage that you set. There are two other values for stat bars: accuracy and rate of fire. These two values don't correspond with the values that actually affect the behavior of the gun.
Rate of fire
rateoffire = (X= , Y= )
Both X and Y values should be the same.
Weight
encumbranceweight = (X= , Y= )
Value x is the weight of the weapon at level I, and value Y is the weight at level X. For example, a weight of 1.4 means your cooldown will be slowed by -140% if you equip this weapon.
