anti-aliasing does it mather much?

[jjohnthedon1]

I run 4k on a 27 inch monitor and sit 3 feet away from screen and I can't see the difference with aa on or off, however on my 1080p monitor there is a huge difference

For that reason some games on consoles like The Order 1886 go with 900p 4XMSAA instead of 1080p FXAA.

The Order 1886 is running at 1080p but letterboxed.

Otherwise it wouldn't make any sense to use 4xMSAA instead of running it at the screens native resolution.

It's 1920x800 with a custom version of MSAA they saved the extra resolution with the bars so they can add AA to the game.

It makes sense because the part between the bars has the same DPI as a native 1080p game with AA.

Normally when you run at a lower resolution you cause more aliasing because you enlarge the pixels to fit the screen in the case of The Order 1886 the pixel size stays the same as they just cut of the top and bottom this means the picture quality stays the same as in native 1080p and they have more performance to spare for other visual enhancements.

They are pretty much cheating them selves good picture quality that way.

I kind of wish we would get such an option on PC when lowering resolution.
