which anti aliasing is better fxaa or eqaa?

[leonthesleepy]

Also, what is MSAA? From what i read this is the highest performance hit?
All i know is FXAA is the cheapest one and it blurs the game, i have no idea what EQAA is.

Is it better to use EQAA if i can? Or is FXAA the norm now?

i dont really get it, it doesnt say EQAA is better, other than the fact that FXAA is the cheapest version as it blurs the image.

From a comment by M_R_P:

in terms of performance from least to most demanding: Off>MLAA/FXAA=SMAA>>>MSAA=>EQAA/CSAA>=TXAA>>>SSAA>TXAA using SSAA

in terms of blur/sharpness from sharpest to blurriest: SSAA>MSAA=EQAA/CSAA=Off>>>SMAA>TXAA>FXAA/MLAA>>>TXAA

TXAA greatly depends on the implimentation.

in terms of reduced Jaggies from best to worst: TXAA>SMAA=MLAA/FXAA>=SSAA>EQAA/CSAA>MSAA (on polygon edges)=MSAA (with coverage 2 alpha)>>>MSAA (on alpha textures)=Off
