As a huge simpsons fan it's the first thing I thought of when I read your post, I immediately burst out laughing. Why did you have to remove it? It wasn't that offensive and you've denied my post to ability to brighten up the day of any reader with laughter.
I didn't remove it. I'm only a mod for the Support forum. Probably someone else. Look at skid. Personally, I try to quote text only. I don't particularly watch the Simpsons, but I appreciate humor when I see it
. Quote:You realize aliasing gets worse the lower your screen resolution is right? Trust me when you upgrade to a bigger higher resolution monitor aliasing will go down not up.
Yes, I do realize that. It only makes sense when you have more available pixels to draw to, the sharper the rendering. I meant I don't want to worry myself about software AA before I make the move to a higher resolution monitor.
Quote:The problem with MSAA is that it can only remove geometry aliasing, and even then only in certain circumstances. As such a lot of aliasing remains untouched no matter how many samples you use. It also has a surprisingly high performance hit in dolphin when combined with a high IR, although not as bad as SSAA obviously.
FXAA affects all aliasing, but does very little in the way of reducing it. However it scales with internal resolution. As IR goes up so does FXAA effectiveness.
SSAA is highly effective at removing all forms of aliasing except temporal (which is impossible to remove without temporal blur (motion blur)). However it has an insane performance hit, causing even the most primitive graphics engines to eat up absurd amounts of shader throughput, vram bandwidth, and video ram. SSAA is broken in dolphin to top this off.
Yeah, had a look-see on wikipedia on the differences between AA methods, out of curiosity. Thanks for the run-down here as well. Sucks that MSAA leaves some aliasing around, although it seems to do a good job on my machine, at least, I can't immediately tell if there's aliasing going on unless I lean in real close to my monitor. That's good enough for me right now until I can find something better, or someone has any recommendations.
