1080p at 60Hz in GTA V with MSAA x4 and NVIDIA TXAA versus standard MSAA x8—how it affects performance.
1080p at 60Hz in GTA V with MSAA x4 and NVIDIA TXAA versus standard MSAA x8—how it affects performance.
Hi, Monitor: Your setup supports both 1080p at 60Hz and GTX1080Ti with MSAA x4 and NVIDIA TXAA. MSAA x8 should give you higher performance, while MSAA x4 offers a balance. For image quality, MSAA x8 typically provides better results due to more samples per pixel.
TXAA will show fewer shimmer effects and appear more blurred. On a 1080 Ti processor, it’s recommended to adjust the resolution scale to 1.5x or 2x in the advanced graphics settings if you want to reduce aliasing issues.
I would use Nvidia Control Panel to configure DSR, launch the game at 4K resolution without anti-aliasing. It seems possible to achieve around 60 FPS with a 1080p display at 4K using a few adjustments. If 4K feels excessive, try a 1.5x or 2x scaling factor. Based on my experience, playing GTA V at 1440p with just FXAA appeared smoother and more visually pleasing than 1080p with FXAA plus 4x MSAA, while maintaining similar frame rates.
1080p at 60Hz with a 1080 Ti GPU paired with a 100$ monitor seems tricky. However, many people agree that using the GPU’s full power—like native 1440p or 4k with FXAA or 2xMSAA—will look much sharper than lower settings or anti-aliasing options at 1080p. If you choose 1080p, enabling FXAA plus 4xMSAA and MFAA through the settings panel seems optimal. TXAA can sometimes blur textures, which I don’t like even in GTA V compared to other titles. The best way to test it is by trying it yourself!
