FXAA vs TXAA vs SSAA vs MSAA vs MLAA vs CSAA vs QCSAA = WTFAA?
They're all different types of Anti-Aliasing.
FXAA - Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing
TXAA - Temporal Anti-Aliasing
SSAA - Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing
MSAA - Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing
CSAA - Coverage Sample Anti-Aliasing
QCSAA - Don't know what it stands for
MSAA is basic, isn't specially optimised or anything, but it gets the job done.
CSAA is basically MSAA but better, without doing a number on your GPU, it Nvidia only and preferred over MSAA.
QCSAA is better than these two, but does hit your GPU a little harder.
TXAA is along the same lines as PhysX, in that it is Nvidia exclusive and only works on games that support it, again a lot better than MSAA and CSAA but will hit your GPU hard.
MLAA is better than MSAA, as it also effects colour reproduction and blends corners and edges better.
The rest, I'm not so sure.
EDIT: FXAA is the worst of them all. It is outdated.
