Can now run SSAA x4 and MSAA x8 smooth, what is best?

[Xhawk]

I just bought a ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti ROG Strix OC Graphic card 11Gb video memory at 1400 euro ... as i now tested and can run at ultra settings in 4K with both MSAA x8 and SSAA x4 totaly smooth i wonder what is best... SSAA looks smoother but i am not sure.. only know MSAA need a lot of graphic power... unfamilar with SSAA.. i think SSAA x4 on a 4k screen is same as i render graphic at 32K ?

ill add a screenshot closeup on my carrier

SSAA x 4

btw both look amazing and game run totaly smooth and fast in mode modes.. love this new graphic card:)

SSAA x4 in 4K at HQ base , fast rotate external view totally smooth.. nice!

WOW!!!! 1400 Euro for a game of 60 Euro? that's what I call dedication....
That said never forget the basic KISS principle (keep it simple stupid). I would advise the SSAA option as less computing power hungry.
Besides your card is a new model (the price been a telltale) so you can never know what bug is going to get fixed first in it. Just be prepared for a good number of driver updates, but keep the ones that actually work in a safe place...

MSAA 8x have best edge smoothing, but lowest performance (FPS).
SSAA 4x have Moderate edge smoothing, but better performance and Texture sharpness.

Theoretically SSAA is stronger methode because the Textures have more Detail and Sharpness.
But i like MSAA because edge smoothing.

So i would take:
SSAA 4x over MSAA 8x (better performance and sharper Textures)
MSAA 8x over SSAA 4x (better edge smoothing)



congratulations for your great GPU

Thanks, that helped.. i change to MSAA x8 then.. as power i got plenty off and i also like better edge smoothing

To the skunk comment over.. i not buy graphic card only for X4 .. i buy now and then a new card and always the 2nd best i can find on marked.. the best is Titan V at 5000 euro.. but that is just way to expensive compare to the little more power it have.

SSAA is far better, it renders the entire scene at a higher resolution. Everything is crisp and perfectly clean, it makes the entire scene look much better. - especially objects in the distance, and also texture sharpness in general. Just everything.

MSAA is a less resource intensive method that just focuses on edges.

Strangely - ive been running the game on max settings to screenshot with SSAA on (4x i think) and it actually runs ok, between 20-60, I even see smooth 60 fps sometimes. Its playable, and i'm on a 3570k and 1060.

You play on 4k Monitor, you don't need much edge smoothing, so maybe you should go to SSAA 4x for better textures sharpness. But it's your decision buddy.

hi i have same card as you my rig runs at 5.0 ght fast ddr memory there is not much diffreance with frame rates now matter what you do after time game slows down too about 47 frame rates i suggest you use navidia settings then fore get about it i did after about a year tinkering

Its not the best solution to force Nvidia driver especially the global settings, every game is different. Nvidia Experience is allso for booby people, you only need pure driver, thats it.
X4 is going slover after time, thats normal progress and CPU conditioned.

unless you are playing on a larger display. I play on a lg e7 and its needed

after reading all comments i change back to SSAA as it is true my edges already is smooth as i have 4k screen.. and i noticed sharpness in general is better with SSAA

I'm happy that we could help you, iI hope this year Nvidia launch new GPU generation with similar Performance (2080ti) but affordable price. My gtx1080 need a replacement soon.
