It's been almost five years since I have this issue. I won't be doing yearly recap posts anymore. Because pretty much nothing has changed since the last year. I got a new PC back in june of this year, but the issue were still present. All these jaggies, shimmering and other problems doesn't bother me that much anymore, as my mind kinda partially accepted it as a normal thing now. If I ever find a solution, I'll let you know.

Finally got a new PC. Jaggies are still present, nothing changed. My GPU from previous PC was dying, and the PC had some other issues, so jaggies wasn't the reason why I bought a new computer. Just a friendly reminder that buying a new hardware doesn't fix this issue. And in case you were wondering about my PC parts, it's best of the best. Motherboard: Gigabyte z790 Aorus Master Processor: Intel Core i9-13900K Memory: G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB 32GB Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB Power Supply: Corsair RM1200x Shift Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 RGB CPU cooler: Corsair ICUE H150i Elite LCD XT SSD: WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB Paid 4200$ for this build. Well, at least now I can crank up DSR to insane levels

Time for another yearly post. No any new info, so it's almost the same post as the last year, which will act as a reminder that the issue still exists. So, when did these AA issues started? Problems started once I installed RTX 2080 Ti to my main gaming rig four years ago, december 31, 2018. I noticed the first problems during the first week of january, 2019. At that time (december 2018) I had this build: i7-6700k 16GB RAM GTX 1080 TI >>> upgrading to RTX 2080 Ti 2 SSD drives What kind of issues we are talking about? Completely broken anti-aliasing in 3D apps/games. There are various problems of massive shimmering, flickering and jaggies in ALL games. No exceptions. To keep it short: TAA produces weird flickering on various edges of objects even if the scene is static and camera isn't moving, but the jaggies in some games with TAA are kinda tolerable (video examples: Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, GreedFall, Tom Clancy's The Division 2, No Man's Sky, Total War: Three Kingdoms, Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 76). All other AA methods, such as FXAA, SMAA, MSAA etc. have massive jaggies and shimmering when moving, in some cases jaggies are visible on static scene too (video examples: Destiny 2, No Man's Sky, The Long Dark, Surviving Mars, Cloudpunk, Life is Strange). I also noticed massively increased jagginess in all video content, doesn't matter if it's media player or web browser, all videos are affected. Here is a short video showcasing jaggies in a video on a streaming service. To summarize, it feels that computers completely lost their ability to proper render and work with AA. Wait, you say computers. Does this also happen on your other systems? Yes. I tried several PCs, laptops and even some separate parts of hardware. My secondary PC (it has AMD FX8350 cpu and GTX 980 video card), was collecting dust since 2016 summer. I turned it on again in march 2019 to test jaggies problem and guess what, it had all the same issues as my main gaming PC! HOW? I don't know. Maybe my RTX 2080 Ti have some kind of bad aura or what? I also checked the games on my laptop with intel cpu and 860m gpu and it had all the same AA issues. I use my laptop at work ~40km away from home in a different city. I don't use my laptop at home. So I have no idea how or why these AA issues appeared on my laptop too. No changes in hardware or software were made. Back in the spring of 2019 I decided to remove RTX 2080 Ti from my main gaming PC and install back the GTX 1080 Ti. Sadly, all the AA problems were still there. I then decided to test some older video cards I had. Those video cards are GTX 1070, GTX 980, GTX 780 and GTX 760. All of them had all the same AA issues. During the summer of 2019 I decided to completely replace all the parts (CPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD, PSU, case and even coolers) of my main gaming PC (excluding RTX 2080 Ti which I bought december 2018). There was no change, all the AA issues were still present. I also tested all the older video cards on a new motherboard again. Sadly, no change. My current gaming PC is: i9-9900k 16GB RAM RTX 2080 Ti 2 SSD drives In july 2021 I bought a new laptop MSI GP76 Leopard (i7 10870h, 16GB RAM, RTX 3070, 1TB SSD). I had a slight hope that there won't be any AA issues, but they were there since Day 1. Are there any AA methods, which work 100% fine without any issues? No. All of them, more or less, have various problems, be it jaggies, shimmering or flickering or all of them together. There are games, which look fine enough, but the problems are still there. I played Metro Exodus back in february 2019 and I didn't noticed ANY problems at all. But back then I wasn't aware that this issue is widespread and that it affects all of the games, so maybe I just didn't noticed any problems. Resident Evil 2 remake also looks kinda okayish. There are still flickering on static image (if set to TAA), or massive jaggies (if set to FXAA or SMAA), but TAA looks decent in this game. 90% of the environments are dark in this game and darkness masks these issues quite well. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is also decent. It has Filmic SMAA, which is much better than standard SMAA. There are still jaggies and flickering, but nothing too bad, game is quite playable. I guess it also depends on TAA implementation. Some games, like RDR2, has well implemented TAA and the issues are very well masked. Same goes to DLSS. Horizon: Zero Dawn implemented DLSS recently, and it completely fixed shimmering on all vegetation. There are still visible moire pattern, shimmering and flickering on some specific surfaces, but it made the game really playable for me. Sadly, but games without proper TAA and/or DLSS support are still doomed to have absolutely horrible AA. You can only lessen visibility of the issue by increasing render scale. Did everything worked fine before december 31, 2018? Yes. Games looked super gorgeous on all resolutions using any of the AA methods and any of the graphical settings. There was no flickering, shimmering or jaggies in games/apps. I didn't even knew that such horrible graphical distortions could happen. My previous computers, video cards and laptop had amazing graphics too up until I upgraded video card in my main gaming PC back in december 31, 2018. Yeah, I know it sounds weird. But this is how it is. Is there a way to counter this issue? How about Nvidia DSR? In my case using Nvidia DSR or increasing render scale in-game settings (if it has one) only lessens the effects of nonexistent AA, but not to the point where game becomes playable. In other words, it's not worth to sacrifice performance just to have 1-2% improvement in AA quality. My Destiny 2 video (200% render scale equals 5K on 1440p monitor) is a good example of it. Does DLSS fix this problem? Depends on DLSS implementation. Some games are tolerable, some are not. Two examples of not so well implemented DLSS: Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077. What does big companies, such as Microsoft and Nvidia, say about this problem? As far as I remember someone from this thread contacted Nvidia support and they said that this is a "brain glitch". You get it? A brain glitch. In other words, we are all idiots and this issue is just in our head. I also tried to contact support of various software companies and all of them said the same thing: go reinstall drivers, change some settings, do this, do that and and so on and so on. Same goes to the game companies I tried to consult. They just say to reinstall drivers, update redistributable packages, mess around with settings in-game etc. In short, contacting customer support is a waste of time. At the end, they just say that they will pass the info to the development team and after that you won't hear anything from them ever again. What troubleshooting you have tried? I don't know how many hours I spent trying various things and searching the internet for answers, but it's probably at least few hundred hours. I search internet almost every day, I follow this topic and Discord group, there are new reports every week of similar issues here and there, but nothing specific. Below is a full list of what I tried: - Different combos of graphical settings in each specific game - Various settings in NVCP - Reinstalling GPU drivers (using DDU), various versions of drivers, both old and new - Reinstalling/updating redistributable packages, various other drivers (chipset, sound, sata etc.) - Doing a clean reinstall of Windows OS (tried Windows 10 and Windows 7) - Various settings in Windows, such as changing power settings, disabling game mode, enabling/disabling page file etc. - Many different video cards (RTX 2080 Ti, GTX 1080 Ti, GTX 1070, GTX 980, GTX 780, GTX 760) - Completely changed every single part of my main gaming PC (new Motherboard, CPU, RAM, PSU, SSD, even got a new case and new coolers) - Two laptops (with 860m and RTX 3070 gpus) - Different monitors (1080p and 1440p) and TVs (1080p and 4K), also various settings on them - Also tested the games on my secondary PC (with an old AMD CPU and GTX 980) - High quality 8K certified DP cable, new and different HDMI cable - High quality extension cord with a surge protection - New modem and internet cable - Different electrical outlets in different rooms - Updating BIOS - Changing various settings in BIOS such as disabling c-states etc. - Disabling Steam, Origin and other app overlays (I heard it could cause similar issues) - GPU overclocking and downclocking - Disabling all the unnecessary processes and apps, such as antivirus, afterburner, bluetooth etc (I keep my main gaming PC clean, just Steam, few apps and games). Do you plan to do more troubleshooting in the near future? I'm planning to buy RTX 4080 or maybe even a whole new PC sometime in 2023, but the chances that it will fix or at least reduce the issue are very slim. What do you do now? Do you still play games? Yes, I still play games, but it's not that fun as it was before. When playing I just try to not concentrate on the AA issues. But, as someone once said, once you notice the issues, it's really, really hard not to see them. That's it. If I have any new important information I will update this post.

My gaming experience in the past year or so was quite decent, I enjoyed a lot of games, because TAA implementation in most of them kept jaggies at tolerable levels. But I recently tried New World and... oh boy. This game doesn't even have the anti-aliasing setting. Jaggies and shimmering everywhere on max settings and 1440p. That was my worst experience this year.

If any of you plan to buy Steam Deck, feel free to share your experience with us. I wonder how is the situation with jaggies/shimmering in there.

Another year has passed, so it's time for another yearly post. Sadly, I don't have any new information worthy of your attention. It's the same post as last year, with some updated info here and there. Let's begin. So, when did these AA issues started?

Do you plan to do more troubleshooting in the near future? I still plan to get RTX 3080/RTX 3080 Ti, but I have no idea when will this happen. It's still impossible to get one at reasonable price in my country (less than 2000$). RTX 4000 series releases (hopefully) next year, so maybe I should just wait for that. I dunno. Let's be realistic, but changing video card (again, lol) probably won't fix this stupid problem. Unless, you know, a miracle happens. What do you do now? Do you still play games? Yes, I still play games, but it's not that fun as it was before. When playing I just try to not concentrate on the AA issues. But, as someone once said, once you notice the issues, it's really, really hard not to see them. That's it. If I have any new important information I will update this post. Stay safe and don't lose hope!

I just got new laptop today. Previously I used an old laptop from 2015. The new one is MSI GP76 Leopard (i7-10870H, 16GB, RTX 3070, 1TB SSD). And what can I say. Well, guess what. Just guess... Nooooo, seriously, just guess... Ok, I won't tease you. I tried a few games and all the AA issues are still present (horrible jaggies, shimmering and flickering, LOD, pop-up issues). Everything is the same just like on my main PC, previous laptop and previous PC I tested. Remainder: If you have questions, all the details about my issue is HERE.

I decided to do another mega-post containing all the info about this issue. It's the same post as the last year, just with updated information and some new details. So, let's begin. So, when did these AA issues started? Problems started once I installed RTX 2080 Ti to my main gaming rig two years ago, december 31, 2018.

There are still shimmering, flickering and/or jaggies in games with DLSS enabled. Two good examples are the videos of Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077. What does big companies, such as Microsoft and Nvidia, say about this problem? As far as I remember someone from this thread contacted Nvidia support and they said that this is a "brain glitch". You get it? A brain glitch. In other words, we are all idiots and this issue is just in our head.

Do you plan to do more troubleshooting in the near future? I did pretty much everything I could. I don't think there is something else I could do. I'm planning to get RTX 3080, but I can't tell when exactly this will happen. Due to issues with stock it's impossible to get one right now. Even if I get it, there is a 98% chance that it won't fix the problem. What do you do now? Do you still play games? Yes, I still play games. Sadly, all these graphical issues distracts me way too often to reach the same level of enjoyment as before. If something else comes up to my mind I will update this post. So, that's it I think. Stay safe and happy new year!

I just tried Cyberpunk 2077. Nothing new to say. DLSS has a lot of AA issues, there are many jagged/vibrating lines on various objects. TAA looks way better. There are still jaggies and the game condition is still far from perfect, but at least it's tolerable.

Uploaded few new videos. Before watching, please keep in mind that YouTube greatly reduces the visibility of the problem. Fullscreen is recommended while watching. Total War: Three Kingdoms has crazy flickering on various objects with TAA. Amnesia: Rebirth in open and lit spaces looks very bad. But since most of the game is set in dark places, AA issues are tolerable. Remnant: From the Ashes has flickering on various edges, but it's tolerable.

As far as I know, these settings are for AMD cpus only.

I uploaded bunch of new videos today. Don't ask me what solutions I tried. Don't want to repeat myself. Please check my mega-post in page 113 for all that info. Death Stranding has weird flickering on various objects when DLSS enabled. Meanwhile, TAA has jaggies and shimmering instead of that flickering. Cloudpunk has massive amount of jaggies. Not sure what AA method it uses, but my guess it's FXAA. Fallout 76 has a lot of jaggies with TAA on various objects even on close range (for example: inventory). Surviving Mars has jaggies on all buildings with SMAA on. Borderlands 3 has flickering/shimmering on some objects with TAA enabled. Destiny 2 issue feels... "evolving", lol. It's more and more visible. Even 1440p with 200% (5K) render scale does nothing. Feel free to share and discuss these videos with others. Also, if you ever plan to consult with tech specialists about this problem, you can use my videos as example of this problem. Have a good evening.

I just tried Death Stranding and... Nothing new to say, sorry. FXAA does zero difference and there are jaggies everywhere, TAA is a little better, but still has a lot of visible jaggies. DLSS also doesn't help a lot, difference between TAA and DLSS is minimal. No amount of DLSS, DSR and/or render increase removes jaggies. There is also some kind of weird shimmering/blinking on all the elements of the UI, main menu, icons, text etc. EDIT: I've been watching some DS videos and noticed some interesting details. As example, here is some older video from PS4 version of the game by theRadBrad. Skip to 14:45. Pay attention to the women's black jacket. Anti-aliasing looks totally normal for me. No visible jaggies. Now here is a video from a PC version of the game. Same scene, at 13:19, look at the jacket. Some weird shimmering/moire effect on the jacket. I also had the same weird effects in the same scene when I played the game. Another good spot to see some crazy aliasing is at 20:55, where you can see a lot of flickering/shimmering in the background of the cutscene. theRadBrad video also has same jaggies in the same scene. PC version. 13:25. Same jacket scene. No moire effect. Conclusion: Looks like this issue depends on device. Some devices has this problem, while other devices has less or no problems at tall. And some people just doesn't care about this issue or doesn't consider this as issue at all. Don't forget that there is also a huge possibility that this issue also affects video content too and that we... or should I say I see these AA problems in videos because I'm "affected". To someone who is not "affected" both videos could look normal and without any visible issues.

I played some best looking mobile games (The Elder Scrolls: Blades, Asphalt 9 and Sky: Children of the Light) on my new smartphone Samsung Galaxy s20 Ultra and they noticeably lack proper anti-aliasing, because there are jaggies and shimmering on many objects. I don't know, maybe this is normal for mobile games? I don't play them very often. But it feels weird to have AA issues at 3200x1440p resolution.

I don't think that flooding Linus with messages is a good way to get his attention. I also don't think that 50€ reward would change anything. We would probably need to offer close to 10k to get some basic help from him. But, we don't have such money. Sooo... I don't know. I just don't know.
