I've been using Warcraft 3 on my Intel Atom (Bay Trail) and got decent performance. The aliasing bothers me a bit, but since the game is old, MSAA should work with the Intel GPU. Normally you'd adjust drivers to enable AA, but the Intel ones only let you set it via application settings or turn it off completely. Because Warcraft 3 didn’t support AA natively, there’s no built-in way to activate it. If you want smoother visuals, you might try other methods like adjusting settings manually or using a different game.

When you increase the resolution significantly, the imperfections become less noticeable

Yes, although the device supports up to 1360 x 768, I'm unable to adjust the resolution beyond that in the drivers. It appears Warcraft 3 doesn't allow access to higher resolutions either.

You could simply be sol. Those Intel GPUs are missing features that won’t be fixed in their settings or software. Unless you upgrade to a higher resolution monitor, it’s hard to say much more.

I might consider using tools like SweetFX and explore post-processing effects such as FXAA or SMAA. Since the game doesn’t heavily interact with shaders, performance should support these techniques.

SweetFX appears effective, and I can apply SMAA for smoothing. The performance drop seems significant, likely due to insufficient shader capabilities.
