in terms of AA is FXAA better then just standard postAA? MSAA crushes my fps and my card doesnt do TXAA apparently.

what does it do?

[POWR]

FXAA is a post-process antialiasing method that attempts to make the image less aliased through some kind of filtering that many people criticize for making things blurry. It's fast and not very performance intensive, and can give you a decent result. What the other postAA in MWO is, dunno. Try it out, see if you like it, I guess.

TXAA is an nVidia specific tech.

Sorry for a slight off-topic, but every time people discuss anti-alias i bless my 5 dioptres of myopia. In-built AA.

What POWR said, FXAA will give you decent result at not much computing expense, but if you have good eyesight you will notice the blurriness.

As MWO uses CryEngine3 maybe the following link is interesting (at least for comparision of the different AA types)

Antialiasing Modes

The PostAA looks far better than FXAA - therefore I'm using this.

I also dont use the MSAA, because the implementation is catastrophic. It slashes FPS into half.

Normally I have 100 - 120 frames per second, which is fluently. Activating MSAA cuts this down to 50 FPS, which is far to slow for me and I dont wont to play this way. Even activating 4K resolution via Nvidia DSR has more FPS than Full HD with MSAA.

Therefore I think MSAA needs a little bit of fine tuning.

I hear ya on the MSAA fps loss..

Gotta say though, paired with some tweaks from the AMD Control Centre... it looks damn good

[Deathlike]

IIRC, FXAA is NVidia only, but it's less detrimental to performance than many AA, but obviously for being "efficient", you will get some side effects like font blurring.

I'd say that FXAA is a bid better than PostAA in MWO.

TXAA should be a fair deal between performance and eyecandy, but in MWO it is like MSAA -> totallywrecking your FPS.
I hope that they will tune SLI in future so i can turn it on - at the moment one has less FPS with SLI/Crossfire than without

This makes me cry. I knew I shouldn't of gone SLI @_@

i tried the different modes and the winner for me is PostAA......
MSAA and TXAA cut down FPS in half and FXAA doesnt look as good as PostAA (despite i have a nVidia card)
