True SMAA is by far, lightyears better than any other AA. Looks better than msaa 8X but has a performance hit closer to 5% vs 85% like msaa 8x And images stay completely sharp unlike other post AA solutions. However it's implementation in watch dogs is poor to say the least. I am not sure what happened there.

@Ti133700N 10 жыл бұрын

Agreed, SMAA is my personal favorite too, best visual quality / performance cost ratio imo. Not as blurry / weird looking as FXAA and very efficient. High resolution (2560x1440) + SMAA 1x is good enough for me.

FXAA is ughh... Just get ReShade/SweetFX and enable the SMAA option, it does the same thing without blurring the screen, strictly smoothing just the edges. And SweetFX has a lot of cool options to enhance the feel of the game. I like DPX with a light Vignette on. Vignette when tuned correctly makes you feel more immersed in the game, like you're looking into the game out of your own eyes. It feels much more natural than looking at a rectangluar screen.

@Rukeith74 8 жыл бұрын

+Mike M Yes FXAA uses a blurring effect, but some games do it better than others. It's also nice to have AA options like FXAA or SMAA for those just barely maintaining their desired FPS, considering other forms of AA can have a massive effect on performance.

Mike M I'm saying it's nice to have an option for those with low end PC's that want SOME form of AA they can run. FXAA will vary from game to game and sometimes it's literally the only option it gives you, with a "Anti-Aliasing off/on" option which usually means it's using FXAA or SMAA. But i agree, sometimes it's just better to have it off completely than to use FXAA.

I think there is some information missing in this video. AA is something that is completely personal. It all depend of you eye sight and the distance you are from your monitor. You can test this out by opening a game with all AA filters off and find some corner where you can see the "stairway effect". Now all you need is to get close to the monitor, fix that point and slowly move back. At some distance, you will not be able to see the stairway. If you play from that point, AA is completely useless. This is why we all should be excited with 4k.

I'm not a fan of AA and I always turn it off I don't care if there are some rough edges here and then. Sure it looks ugly, but at least it doesn't look like your vision is blurred by post AA. The other form of AA is so intensive that I rather prefer turning it fully off getting a locked 60fps and if I still have headroom crank up my settings till ultra. If aliasing is such a big deal to you then you can always opt for a higher resolution such as 1080p, 1440p and 4k. (yeah I do believe a 1080p videogame is fine without AA, not perfect but fine)

Low levels of AA are still necessary for a smooth image in 4k. It will no longer be necessary in 8k, which is what the next push will be for. I have a 4k monitor and fxaa generally does the trick with little noticable performance hit.

@OniMirage 7 жыл бұрын

It was discussed a bit at the end, morphological. On AMD cards you can force it on nearly any game with the default driver. However, be careful because if the game uses actual text fonts the AA will be applied to the text and it will be hard to read. Some games support it natively and if it is, the quality will be much better than FXAA with the same or better performance.

FXAA is a more advanced form of MLAA with support for sub pixel antialiasing (albeit limited). Same with SMAA.

I don't know. Should I use AA in my games? I personally don't like it because I can see them easily, which isn't pretty. I find a secondary option is to make the sprites bigger so you have more pixels and room to put more detail and fix jaggies, and then resize it physically so it's the same size as it was before. What do you think? Is there a way to have that AA effect without using AA? Because I don't like jaggies, but if you mask something from an old TV show it's really hard to mask it properly.

SMAA is FXAA without the blur. They both go to shit as soon as you move though, crawly lines all over the place. I'm enjoying my first experience with TAA in Fallout. There's no crawlies when moving and feels like good old 4x MSAA, the only downside is a bit of motion blur when moving.

@marceli-wac 8 жыл бұрын

Hi bear in mind, that SMAA is MSAA and MLAA combines (in essence), so it depends on the compatibility, if it really blurs out the inage that much. TAA sure does better job, but not everyone can afford it, when it comes to horsepower ;)

How does downsampling work? I understand how upsampling is possible, but there are only a certain amount of pixels on a monitor. So how do you get higher resolutions than your native resolution?

@Gameplayer529 8 жыл бұрын

+Teh Black Ninja Productions Basically it renders the 3d scene at a higher resolution internally, then it scales it down to scale frame by frame to be displayed on your monitor.

@TehBlackNinjaProductions 8 жыл бұрын

Carlos Reyes Ah that makes sense. Thanks.

@amisfitpuivk 8 жыл бұрын

Another example: Think of a black diagonal line on your screen. It would be a bunch of squares connected at the corners, not very smooth. Upscaling it would give you 4 squares where before there was only 1, and it can now add/remove some more black pixels to smooth the line. Now when it gets downsampled, there might be 2 pixels from the upscale now residing in what was a blank/white pixel at normal scale, but it can't fit those 2 mini-pixels into your monitors 1 normal pixel (which can _only_ fit 4 upscaled mini-pixels). So instead it would add a _gray_ pixel, since 2/4= 50% black. That's the jist as I understand it.

If you have a lot of performance to spare and the game supports it, MSAA/TXAA. If you have a godly rig and you laugh at the performance issues others have (and also have an Nvidia card), force SGSSAA. For SGSSAA, you will need Nvidia Inspector and you will have to develop a bit of know-how to get it working.

About AA: CSAA (NVidia) and EQAA (AMD) actually take additional color samples. Doing that is very cheap while it can increase the AA quality up to the number of color samples taken. This depends on the scene though (it is usually a very good performance/quality deal). Both AMD and NVidia have a hybrid MSAA/SSAA method that supersamples only transparent textures while multisampling otherwise to save performance. This doesn't work for every game though but is desirable if it does. FXAA is generally very cheap, but it blurs textures and has problems with long lines. Team red has MLAA which is better then FXAA quality wise but also more costly. Both are trumped by SMAA though. SMAA costs a little more then FXAA or MLAA but has the best performance to visual ratio of any generic post processing AA out there. If you need post processing AA, either because you need better performance or the game doesn't support driver AA options, I'd stick to SMAA and set the quality via the profile. These methods of post processing AA usually are not particulary good at eliminating "shimmering" when moving, the dreaded aliasing of fences in Skyrim are a good example. Note that all these methods apply a little bid of "smudging" to the image, FXAA being a really bad offender though while you may not notice the others. The cost of post processing AA depends on the shader power of your card. While NVidia closed the gap a little with the 900 series, AMD is faster in this regard. Additionally there are temporal anti aliasing and CMAA. Both require access to the z-buffer of the game and thus have a game specific implemenation. All temporal AA methods produce ghosting to some extend (some shadow and smudging of moved objects), this is inherent to the method. If implemented well you might not notice the difference though, especially if adding other shaders like motion blur (TXAA is on the don't make my eyes bleed side of things though). How noticeable the effect is also depends on your monitor's persistence and your FPS. CMAA is one of the newest post processing AA methods, it generally costs less then SMAA but also has less AA effect, especially on 45° angles. It has next to no "smudging" and works best with sensitive things like text. SMAA supposedly has some quality z-buffer method too, but that surpasses my knowledge. Hope this helps!

Horst Meier CSAA and EQAA use coverage samples and add blending weight for each sample of MSAA. (Basically test if coverage sample is within or outside the rendered polygon) They do not sample or store additional Z/color samples.

Fxaa is always the best choice performance wise for me in 1080, 1440, or 4k. It has similar quality to msaa 4x and half the fps hit. The only realistic difference I notice is that msaa has bett aliasing on distant objects.

***** Maybe not, native FXAA support in games like those in Borderlands 2 or Bioshock maybe obsolete, but not for Nvidia driver native FXAA support though, it eliminate 90% of jagged line up close in all of my games, if the game support it off-course.

anti-aliasing and supersampling which one is suitable for nvidia graphics card ?

@6St6Jimmy6 8 жыл бұрын

FXAA is just freaking horrible. Just watch Fallout 4 and their anti-aliasing (both of the options). Only way I can even look the screen was to add sharpening filter through ReShade because they blur like hell. FXAA can be nice if combied with some good AA and sharpening but still there are better options like SMAA or CMAA. The game needs to have MSAA or other similar good AA and then you could add FXAA or some other on top of it. Bad AA like FXAA as the base AA in the game and you can't make the game look good with external programs because FXAA doesn't do much to jaggies alone. Adding sharpening filter can help some.
