Anti-Aliasing on or off?
I just realized after playing this game for a good 50+ hours that I had AA off the entire time. My question is is it worth it to have AA turned on or just leave it as be?

My specs
CPU ryzen 5 200
GPU AMD RX 580 4gb xtr
RAM 16gb DDR4

AA is a hog and if your game looks fine don't bother.

In the high resolutions (2560 and above) you can't tell the difference even on large screens.

If you notice jagged lines and they bug you test it at the lowest setting to see how much they smooth out. - Keep increasing until you're comfortable with the results.

I doubt you'll notice any performance hit with AA maxed out, but keep in mind avoiding
any unnecessary load on your system. - If you don't need it don't bother.

Thanks again for getting back to me always nice to see a response. I think I'll keep it off or at thr lowest setting then. I don't mind the lagged lines since I only really notice in those slow moments moving around on foot

'Sup to you. - No doubt your system can handle the load if you want things more natural looking.

- Best Wishes -

It's a matter of taste. I like crisp picture even on my 1680*1050. Antialiasing gives blurry image and drops fps a little. So double "no".

I kept it as low as possible until i started to see the distortion (especially on distant grass).
On my 2k monitor i had to set it at 4x. If you play on a 4K monitor you're probably better off without it.

Pixel density is so high in 4K that I get no jaggies on a 55" monitor.
never need AA for any game..
