FSAA is a performance hog.

Try turning on FXAA and using Dynamic Screen Resolution Super-sampling instead. Works magic. lol

Multisample AA has always been a performance hog. In any game. It's a brute force AA method.

"Try turning on FXAA" hahahaha... no. FXAA makes the games look worse lol.

Not if you use 1440p or up on a 1080p screen. lol

Which is basically SSAA plus FXAA, and don't forget the best AA TXAA is still just MSAA plus FXAA.

Why are you using supersampling and AA at the same time? Of course it's going to be a performance hog.

Because the game is so old I can't stand not playing in at higher than native resolution.
Also 1080p + FSAA is somehow worse than 1440p + FXAA. Go figure.

No it's not. TXAA has a temporal element too it that makes it's anti aliasing work during motion. Temporal aliasing. It takes information from the previous frame to reconstruct the new frame. Thus, motion is smoother. And shimmering and shader aliasing is cut down as well. It's based upon multisample anti aliasing though yes. But FXAA doesn't come into it at all. That's a completely separate post process anti aliasing. FSAA is more similar to SSAA or supersampling/downsampling in it's method. It's a cross between MSAA (multisample) and SSAA (supersampling/downsampling) It's old school. Developed before the fast post process anti aliasing processes like FXAA, SMAA, TAA etc. (TAA is newer, non proprietary temporal anti aliasing that's surpassed Nvidia's TXAA)
