It actively looks for the jagged edges in images then fixes them. It achieves this by identifying discontinuity patterns then blends colors with these patterns to achieve anti-aliasing. This makes it less demanding on the hardware. Keep in mind that this technique balances performance and quality, unlike TXAA technique that prioritizes quality over performance. Choose this method if you have a computer with the above specifications or if you are worried about slowdown on your game.
It does not consume a lot of processing power hence you do not require strong gaming hardware. It is a spatial anti-aliasing method that will remove jagged edges from images in computer games. As its name implies, anti-aliasing is achieved by super sampling the images then render them at a higher resolution. From this larger resolution, the method then downsamples the images.
It is a great option if you have a high-end computer or a powerful PC with good specifications in order for it to work smoothly. I would not recommend it to anyone with an old PC because it can slow down its performance. This is also one of the most popular anti-aliasing methods on the market right now. Gamers love this technique because it removes jaggies with no performance impact. Also, it is the simplest and easiest thing to use and integrate.
It is a clever hack than MSAA because it ignores line edges and polygons and analyzes the pixels on the monitor. It is very fast, it takes about 1. If you have this technique in your game, enable it immediately because it is good. It is less demanding on your PC hence no need to turn it off when playing your games.
It is a great option for gamers who do not have a high-end PC because it does not consume a lot of processing power of your machine. It does not run calculations on the colors and geometry of a game; instead, it blurs the rough edges.
This makes the image a bit blurry and this is not preferred by many gamers. Keep in mind that it smooths out all the edges of the images of a game. Aliasing is without a doubt a nightmare. It can distract from your game and gives the worst experience because of the jaggies created. So what is the best method to solve this problem? I know it can be a little bit confusing because there are many methods to choose from. The best method will depend on your needs, types of games you play, and the specifications of your computer.
MSAA is best suited for midrange gaming computers. Also, choose MSAA if you are looking for a perfect balance between performance and quality. It is simple and easy to integrate and images that have been anti-aliased look good. It consumes a lot of processing power making it suitable for powerful computers only. TXAA is an advanced anti-aliasing method that is found in new graphics cards. I would recommend it to anyone looking for the best anti-aliasing method since it is very effective.
This means that it produces very good results and is less demanding on your computer. MLAA is also less demanding on hardware and balances performance and quality. It is a pixel shader program that runs each frame in a matter of milliseconds or less, as documented in this PDF. Super Sampling AA is computationally expensive, but provides the highest quality possible.
The performance penalty increases as sample size increases 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x , but so does the quality penalty. That is critical in a competitive game such as Valorant.
It forces your phone's OpenGL 2. However, enabling this setting will cause your smartphone's battery to drain more quickly.
FXAA - This technique requires shader units and a small amount of memory bandwidth. I'm the founder of VSS Monitoring. I have been both writing and working in technology in a number of roles for dozens of years and wanted to bring my experience online to make it publicly available.

This is the default in many modern games because it has very little overhead, though it tends to miss a lot of jaggies. As Nicholas Vining explains: "Morphological anti-aliasing looks at the morphology read: the patterns of the jaggies on the edges; for each set of jaggies, it computes a way of removing the aliasing which is pleasing to the eye.
It does this by breaking down edges and jaggies into little sets of morphological operators, like Tetris blocks, and then uses a special type of blending for each Tetris block. You can apply it with SweetFX , and many modern games natively support this. TAA compares the previous frame with the current frame to look for edges and help remove jaggies. This is done through a variety of filters and can help reduce the 'crawling' motion on edges, which looks a bit like marching ants.
It cannot, however, remove actual ants from inside your display. You should probably just throw that display out. As Vining again explains: "The notion here is that we expect frames to look a lot like each other from frame to frame; the user doesn't move that much. Therefore, where things haven't moved that much, we can get extra data from the previous frame and use this to augment the information we have available to anti-alias with.
According to Nvidia, "DLSS leverages a deep neural network to extract multidimensional features of the rendered scene and intelligently combine details from multiple frames to construct a high-quality final image. DLSS uses fewer input samples than traditional techniques such as TAA, while avoiding the algorithmic difficulties such techniques face with transparency and other complex scene elements.
In other words, it's better and more efficient at doing the things Temporal AA does, or at least it's supposed to look better once it has been properly trained for a specific game. When it's not properly trained, it can cause a lot of blurriness.
Anti-aliasing settings almost always include a series of values: 2x, 4x, 8x, and so on. The numbers refer to the number of color samples being taken, and in general, the higher the number, the more accurate and computationally expensive the anti-aliasing will be. Then there's the special case of the 'Q. The other four are coverage samples, explained here. You'll rarely encounter CSAA these days, so let's call that a fun fact.
This anti-aliasing method, just like the TXAA, is a filtering technique that occurs post-processing. Using color data, it actively looks for the jagged edges in images through the differences among the pixels. It is much more efficient at balancing quality and performance as it only uses what is necessary.
The downside to this method is that it can sometimes be faulty when it comes to blending, mixing up background and foreground portions of the overall image, sometimes resulting in distorted text.
This is the oldest, most basic method of anti-aliasing and from which every other method has evolved. It is also the most effective method by far, but be warned. This will take up a lot of memory on your computer, so you better have the right equipment for it. The reason behind that is that it takes each individual pixel and analyzes its color and that of the pixels surrounding it.
SSAA works by rendering your game graphics at a higher resolution and then it downsamples — AKA shrinks — the image to adapt to that resolution, hence the image becomes sharper. The FXAA method, as you might have guessed from its name alone, is a faster and more demanding technique of anti-aliasing.
The great thing about this is that it processes all of the pixels on the screen, smoothing all of their edges. You get a pretty obvious decline in the amount of aliasing in your images but it would cost you — a lot. Yes, it is. Depending on your computer setup and the types of games that you play, the answer may vary. It has become somewhat outdated after the appearance of the newer anti-aliasing techniques. A word of caution, though, and I cannot emphasize this enough: SSAA is a daunting method of anti-aliasing that can easily cut your PCs performance down by a third of its original value.
So, a middle ground, then. Yup, the game crashed. Well, I eventually got my revenge. I got a better PC setup. Take that, anti-aliasing!
