Should I use anti-aliasing transparency?

If a game has its own antialiasing options, then they will definitely do a better job than those in NVCP. Antialiasing – Transparency: Smooths out edges on so-called alpha textures – textures with transparency effects like wire fences and masses of leaves on trees.

What is sparse grid Supersampling?

SGSSAA – What is it? Sparse Grid Supersampling Anti-aliasing is a Nvidia developed form of Anti-aliasing that is actually a bug, but it was such a good bug that after much whining from the gaming crowd, Nvidia decided to keep it.

What is CSAA anti-aliasing?

CSAA (Coverage Sampling Antialiasing) is one of the key new features of the GeForce 8 series GPU. In summary, CSAA produces antialiased images that rival the quality of 8x or 16x MSAA, while introducing only a minimal performance hit over standard (typically 4x) MSAA.

What is 4x anti-aliasing?

SSAA, also known as FSAA, removes “jags” from an image by rendering the image at a higher resolution: Full-scene anti-aliasing by supersampling usually means that each full frame is rendered at double (2x) or quadruple (4x) the display resolution, and then down-sampled to match the display resolution.

Which anti-aliasing is best?

Which one is best for you?

MSAA is best suited for midrange gaming computers.
FXAA is perfect for low-end PCs because it is less demanding on your PC.
If you have an old PC, do not choose Supersample Anti-Aliasing (SSAA).
TXAA is an advanced anti-aliasing method that is found in new graphics cards.

What is supersampling anti-aliasing?

Supersampling is a method of antialiasing that attempts to reduce jagged, pixelated edges (aliasing) in images. It works by sampling a higher resolution version of the image to get the average color of a pixel before reducing it to the intended size. You can create sharp images or softer, blurred images.

Does supersampling affect performance?

In most cases, supersampling on the Pro will produce a noticeably better looking picture for players with 1080p screens, and the degraded performance when supersampling is active is only an issue for a small number of games.
