FXAA vs TXAA vs MSAA

[tiemo94]

What do you prefer more ? And why ?
Will you just use one of them for GTA V or all together ?

[Lloyd Franklin]

I always use TXAA.

[0451]

200% Bloom and nothing else.

[Mav]

MSAA is my favorite. TXAA just makes games look way too blurry and muddy for me.

[Machin Shin]

MSAA forever

[Mr. Collins JuJu]

TXAA

[Maximus]

TXAA or MSAA, but I dont know if I can play it with all Ultra, AA, 1080p @intel 3770k, 16gb ddr3 1600, gtx780 Sli

[Raphael Coelho]

I'm hoping my two 7970ghz crossfired can handle MSAA 4x + FXAA. If not (most likely), I'll be happy with only FXAA.

[Gravy]

Forced SSAA will be king for those that can take a 50% hit to their fps, so not me.

[Floppy Chicken]

I'll be on DSR 2.00x, instead of using antialiasing. It works very well on everything I've played so far, and I hope that it works well on this too.

[Ghoti]

my gtx860m cant support too high settings, so i prefer to get my other graphics settings cranked up then use fxaa. but i will try the frame rates i get from txaa first

[Philip]

Personally I like how FXAA looks so I just stick with that.

If your GPU can handle DSR, you may not even need to consider the former as it will take care of a lot of the issues.

DSR is good, yes, but it also requires more power than 4x MSAA in most cases. It also lowers your refresh rate down to 60hz, so if you're using a 120-144hz 1080p or 2K monitor, it limits your framerate.

This game is optomized for 60 FPS, so you aren't going to be getting your full 144 FPS that often anyway... and you don't need it for this game. DSR is a much better solution as it improves the graphical fidelity a lot. Also, it does not have the performance impact of 4x MSAA... it's more similar to 2x MSAA.

As long I won't send my gtx 660 ti for retirement, I really can't turn msaa on. It's also not a matter of choice because you can use all of them in one time (Txaa needs mssaa x 2 at least though).

[Artan]

They do different things and a balance of them is recommended. they are not substitutes for each other.

If I had a good enough system I would have a combination of all 3 enabled. I play on a EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX 3GB and have FXAA full, MSAA x 4, TXAA off.
