What kind of AA are you considering?
SMAA all day. Whenever possible, I use it. It should be included in every game, though not all have been properly set up. 1x works but can fit into any title. 2x stands out because it offers performance similar to FXAA while appearing as smooth as 8x MSAA in most situations. I find SMAA looks quite poor in Watch Dogs. Except for that, I usually avoid FXAA since it often causes screen blurring, except for some games that are free from this problem. Most of the time I stick with 2xMSAA. My monitor’s resolution is 110 pixels per inch, so it looks great even at low settings.
Other tools exist, yet SweetFX stands out for certain capabilities. It has some constraints, like missing 64-bit support, but it performs adequately with most games where adding SMAA is beneficial.
Yes, there is an option that applies 2x SMAA. I’d be happy to help you with it.
Unrelated to what I’m aware of, and if I had any idea, I’d avoid another kind of AA entirely. Perhaps focusing on older titles.
FXAA functions well for me too... after moving from NVIDIA to AMD recently, I found MLAA improves clarity a bit, though not enough to hinder reading. Plus, during games I’m mostly focused on the screen, not the chat.
