Hey everyone! With a GTX 1080 Ti and a 4K display, the debate around using anti-aliasing is interesting. You mentioned seeing a drop in performance when turning on FXAA compared to no AA. It seems like the impact might be noticeable, especially when it comes to losing a few frames—like in Rise of the Tomb Raider. The numbers you shared suggest a difference, but whether it’s significant depends on your setup and how much visual quality matters to you.
Activate it. Check it out. If it improves, employ it. If it declines, refrain from using it. Clear and concise.
I only saw a slight change with AA on in ROTTR. I think the effect depends on the game, so more testing and tweaking will be needed.
As mentioned earlier, ensure your settings suit your preferences. ^^^
Don't get me wrong. There is a valid reason to use AA even on 4k. There are many kinds of aliasing and you will see it especially on shadows or transparent textures.... in some games. If you can't see it... don't turn it on. Simple.
With a Maxwell or Pascal NVIDIA card running MSAA, you can access the NVIDIA Control Panel and enable MFAA to bypass MSAA in games. This provides the same visual result while reducing the performance impact by half.
I’ve checked all available AA options in the Nvidia Control Panel, but my system still struggles to handle Battlefront II (2005) with many mods on a 980 Ti.
