Monitor resolution vs jagged edges

[ThEB0ky]

What part does monitor resolution play when reducing jagged edges?

I have 21"  1440x900 monitor (5 yrs old) and in literally every game i see jaggfed edges all over the place. I apply highest quality AA, but still i see them a lot. I know that its impossible to remove them completely, but its not that, it became annoying. 


Specs: 
FX-8350
R9 280x
8GB@1866
21" 1440x900

With higher resolution, the pixels are packed closer to each other, and the perception of jaggies is reduced.  You can do similar things with SSAA which renders at a higher resolution and downsamples to eliminate aliasing).

Welcome to the Forum.

 

I'd make sure that in Catalyst Control Center you have it set so for anti-aliasing it follows game settings. This may help.

I used a 900P monitor at 20 inches, exact same issue. by going up to 1080P or higher, it gets rid of it almost completely(with help of AA)

 

getting a higher res monitor is the best upgrade you can do, and will really help out with how games look

You could try running at a higher resolution and then downscale it.. for Nvidia it's DSR, can't remember the AMD versions name but it could help.. 

 

Basically what it does is tell the game engine your playing at a higher resolution so it renders it in that and then the drivers downscale it to your native res..

It's VSR, and it's only supported on the 285 and 290.

A higher resolution will make them much less obvious. At 1080p you'll still get them a lot, at 4k almost not at all.
