Can you force MSAA?

[Snickers Enthusiant]

I believe a game's engine has to support MSAA for you to be able to use the Nvidia control panel to force it, and I'm trying to force it but I don't believe the game looks any different when I am.
Should I just run TAA even though it looks worse?

DSR is an option if you don't like TAA.

You can create a custom resolution in the NV control panel pr use DSR. Personally, a custom res gives me better performance.

I used DSR 4K and it looks better but still without TAA the game looks weird in Cities.

Maybe you can try "Nvidia Inspector". I think it overrides all settings. I'm using it since years to lock my FPS, I don't use others option in the software.

No, you can't as modern DX12 engines do not support it. The only walk around is to render at higher resolution via DSR (nvidia) / VSR (AMD) and turn off in-game anti-aliasing.

If you haven't already, turn off CAS (the sharpening) because it renders the game at 75% resolution.

Then enable TAA for perfectly anti-aliased gameplay and use Nvidia Freestyle or Reshade to sharpen the game back up. It looks great, clear and crisp.

Modern PBR engines with the way shading is handled don't support MSAA.

Reshade, from its very first inception as SweetFX, breaks anti-alias methods.

What? I use TAA or SMAA with Reshade sharpening in every game I play.

I'm using TAA but some grass edges still look bad... and nothing from nvidia panel seems to work the game just ignores everything.. idk why

Most of the Nvidia settings are for older games. Modern games use deferred rendering and physically-based shaders, which don't work with those older styles of AA, etc.

All you can do is use DLSS, or DSR to downsample the game for a cleaner image.

I tried DSR but doesnt work if i dont have my desktop on that blurry resolution

[Zer01neDev]

DSR and other Custom Resolution does't work because the game doesn't see them.

No clue what you mean by "on that blurry resolution". If you're using DSR to render at 1440P instead of 1080P, it's probably blurry, due to partial pixel reproduction, but if you use DSR to render at 4K, it should just outright look better than native 1080P in every way.

Yes it does. I use DSR to play the game at 4K. It works just fine.

[Ezhnovex]

I highly recommend Reshade for SMAA injection. I personally hate TAA and can't stand sharpening. Of course, to each their own.
