Antialiasing doesn't usually affect performance much in games.
It varies based on the system in use and the type of AA involved.
I've encountered fxaa and tsaa, wondering if one offers better performance than the other. I've also noticed the multiplier feature. It's a bit confusing, but how much does it boost performance compared to x16, x8, or something in between?
Between fxaa and tsaa the gap should remain relatively small. In my opinion, 8x is the highest point showing a clear impact, while 16x shows only a slight difference. The performance drop isn't exactly double between 8x and 16x, though.
SSAA and MSAA greatly affect performance. FXAA is among the least resource-heavy AA yet often results in poor visual quality due to its blur effect. TAA may noticeably influence performance based on setup, and can lead to obvious ghosting around moving items.
Performance depends on your starting resolution. Higher resolutions cause more noticeable effects. Running 1080p at 8x MSAA should feel comparable to 2160p at 2x MSAA.
This question can't be solved with a one-size-fits-all approach since each game and system behaves differently. I prioritize maximum settings, starting with MSAA X2, and adjust until I achieve stable 60 FPS.
with my 1080p display I really enjoyed using DSR to run everything at 4K, which let me disable any audio cards and achieve a great visual experience. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble matching that performance on my 1440p screen with the latest NVIDIA supersampling techniques—I usually get lag or poor image quality. It’s not an issue with my hardware since I can still run it smoothly on my old monitor!
