what AA does everyone use?

[Majorllama]

So I finished my new build a few days ago and of course went to go bring it to its knees. So I loaded up Crysis 3 and maxed everything out. And.I was getting ~35 fps. So everything looked beautiful standing still but moving was pretty Meh and I don't wanna be a console pleb. So I lowered my AA for 8x msaa to 8 ssa (I think I have that wrong) and now I get 60ish frames solid.

My question to you guys is... given the option. What AA do you use?

[CoolaxGaming]

8x msaa usually. 

[Raudi_]

What ever is the highest option in games.

Forced 4x MSAA on my Droid Maxx though

[Arty]

none, #intel hd

[minibois]

No AA.

Just crappy hardware plebs..

[blackadder]

Depends on whats in the game. Normally txaa if i can.

[AlwaysFSX]

2xAA because I really don't care for anything higher.

[QueenDemetria]

none or 2x, the performance loss isn't worth it IMO.

[Senzelian]

FXAA if I don't want to lose too much performance.
TXAA is my standard usually.

thanks for this, im sure it helps clear. Up some of the aa mystery.

[ablangc]

I usually do not go any higher than MSAA x4

[LancerBG]

zero in an fps and usually go about half way in most other types of games.

[the jolly roger]

i use 4x, because i cant see a difference between 4x, 6x, and 8x

 

and if 4x hits the fps too hard, i simply do 2x

[ManWithBeard1990]

I honestly thought you were talking about batteries when I clicked. I don't do AA though, or rather, my APU won't.

[Janne]

none or FXAA, 3840x2160 res though

[Pomfinator]

I honestly don't see everyone's big problem with FXAA, sure there are better options, but its not terrible.  I will usually take SMAA, TXAA if available. Maybe my eyes too blurry to see the blurriness

[Totallycasual]

I honestly don't know what half of that crap is, i just put everything on full ultra no matter what im playing

[ManOfDisguise]

at the very most i will use 4x but usually off or fxaa. i prefer the fps gain however some games can be annoying to look at all the jagged lines without aa on

the only time i really see jagged edges is when i play my friends x1 other than that they have been getting good at no jaggys.

Thanks for the article. Interesting to see where everyone sits on it. Most seem to not care past 2xAA

hm when i got used to seeing jagged edges there are a lot of games on pc that i can also find them quite noticeable maybe not as noticeable as on console but still noticeable

[Satlen]

4X MSAA + FXAA is usually what I go for. If there are no AA options then I just downscale from 2k or 4k.

coming from a ps3 720p tv to 1080p, 970, i guess i'm still in the oooo awwww phase. 

[Guest]

Depends on the resolution

 

At native 1440p I'll usually forego it or use only FXAA. 

[JESUSARIUS REX]

I just super sample to 1440p or 1800p tbh.
