Nov 23, 2013 · There are 2 basic ways to achieve Anti-Aliasing: Blur the edges/contrasts (used e.g. in MLAA, FXAA and SMAA), also called Post-AA or Post-Processing. The simplest way to increase the sample rate is called FSAA (Full Screen AA), SSAA (Super Sampling AA) 1 or Downsampling 2.

Multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) is a type of spatial anti-aliasing, a technique used in computer graphics to remove jaggies. It is an optimization of supersampling, where only the necessary parts are sampled more. Jaggies are only noticed in a small area, so the area is quickly found, and only that is anti-aliased.

Use the Vulkan backend, and set MSAA to 4x, or even 8x. Disable everything under Speedhacks. That's about how good things will get, without delving into texture upscaling or replacement. If your device is struggling to keep up with the games, you might try the following:

First, you should understand that MSAA is a type of Supersampling anti-aliasing (SSAA). SSAA, also known as FSAA, removes "jags" from an image by rendering the image at a higher resolution:

Jan 8, 2024 · MSAA, comes right after, it is the same as SSAA except it is a shader based approach that only runs parts of the image at a higher resolution, namely edges of objects. The performance impact of this method is generally, substantially …

Apr 16, 2025 · A more popular AA is the MSAA (Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing), which only applies the sampling to the edges, where it is most needed, and will thus save you the performance cost while still noticeably improving the image quality. Moreover, NVIDIA and AMD have their own propriety versions of MSAA.

MSAA works on the front end (the geometry / rasterization pass) but effectively does nothing for the back end (shading / compute), which means it cannot handle post process effects, shaders, alpha particles, and because it specifically targets geometric edges it …

Sep 19, 2019 · MSAA is great for mid-tier computers that can handle a little bit of extra GPU processing without feeling a pinch. Gaming PCs for under $1000 or so would probably handle MSAA really well. SSAA is the super-high-end anti-aliasing and shouldn’t be attempted unless you have the best gear you can get.

Jan 11, 2015 · Actually MSAA can work with the new engine design if you use DX10/DX11 (but not on DX9), but its somewhat complex to get it setup, so my guess is that they ventured into the unknown and got the complexity sorted out now.

Jun 3, 2021 · EQAA (for AMD graphics) and CSAA (for NVIDIA graphics) are anti-aliasing techniques based on MSAA (ie enhanced versions of SSAA) but optimized to work on these graphics cards.
