I'm not too bothered with it most of the time myself although when doing things like taking screenshots it helps with having a clean and sharper image. Of course it varies how sensitive the player is to these aliasing effects such as shimmer and occasional flicker, older games tended not to be too bad especially at higher display resolutions but the newer ones with all the shader effects introduces new issues that aren't as easily resolved and MSAA runs into problems with both performance and efficiency since it's not able to deal with non-geometry aliasing. (Some games are pretty hard to 'clean up' or what to call it, Alien Isolation had a modder use the existing SMAA implementation to introduce a temporal component which really helped since that game also uses a slight image distortion effect and even downsampling left some noticeable jagginess from aliasing as a result, lots of shader and specular effects too thus more aliasing troubles.) Not everyone can run with 4x SSAA / 2x downsampling from the current screen resolution especially with how demanding newer games can be and how much resources such as VRAM they'll require at higher display resolutions even if it's really effective at nearly eliminating aliasing.īut even downsampling isn't always enough so combined with a shader AA such as FXAA or SMAA it tends to improve things a bit or if the game supports it TAA to really eliminate all remaining aliasing.

I'm guessing that on consoles this also helps a lot while offering superior performance but it has benefits on PC too despite the slight blurriness introduced by the effect. (Where MSAA alone isn't very effective and can also be really demanding on the GPU.) I do like UE4's TAA method too though and it's pretty customizable as well albeit most UE4 games don't expose all the settings for it and the defaults while effective and fast is also somewhat more blurry than many other temporal AA techniques.įallout 4 and other games (Witcher 3, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and more.) generally use a custom implementation with varying results, for Fallout 4 I found it to be pretty good but if you dipped to lower framerates the ghosting introduced and a small amount of jitter could be annoying.Īll methods have the advantage of dealing with aliasing that occurs as the player is in motion, seeing crawling and such can be highly distracting and shimmering as a result of aliasing affecting shaders such as specular highlights (The 'shiny' effect on objects.) and things like reflections which many newer games suffer from.

(Being developed by Nvidia you will generally only see it in GameWorks supported titles however.) TXAA combines a custom temporal AA method with MSAA so it's likely superior since although said MSAA technique also hits performance a bit harder and it's implemented on a per-game basis too although it's been used in a number of games since it was first introduced.

Though I guess back when Larrabee was going to be a thing they had a full on game showcase running and even did some quick raytracing tests using Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Quake Wars as I remember, we're still a ways off from realtime ray-tracing though I believe. Sharpening via utilities like ReShade or occasionally built into the game itself is also one method though I personally don't like the resulting artifacts and shimmer that this introduces.ĮDIT: Huh seems Intel has a AO example too Adaptive Screen Space (ASS! Yeah that's unfortunate.) Ambient Occlusion. (TXAA for Nvidia GPU's is probably better but only a few games use that.)Īs for downsampling for best results I believe you want a very even resolution scaling so 2x or 4x though DSR counters this somewhat via it's gaussian technique though this too produces a slight blurriness. SMAA also allows for SMAA T2X mixing in temporal anti-aliasing and then there's SMAA 2X and 4X which also combines MSAA but few games use these modes. (And these overrides aren't always going to work.)

Intel had a technique called CMAA ( How text is affected by post-process AA is pretty striking.) but I don't think anything came of it, these techniques are fast for what they do though so a small bit of blur isn't too bad though not ideal either although the older FSAA solution and recently SSAA or downsampling is generally pretty performance heavy for all but the newer GPU's whereas MSAA unless enhanced a bit via driver specific overrides mostly just works on 3d geometry.
