Currently playing a game thats running at 24bit 24depth 1xmultisample.If i increase it to 8xmultisample what/how does that effect the game/screen? will it use more gpu power? create more heat? look better?.cant find any info on google plz help,in detail answers are welcomed.thanks

24Bit depth is also known as 8Bit color space which is the standard sRGB (16.7 Million Colors) depending on what reference and software you are using.

So 24Bit depth / 8Bit color space is the standard. The amount of colors will not cause any more load on the GPU but most likely you monitor cannot display 10Bit color space (aka 1 Billion colors /32Bit Depth.) unless you have a very nice monitor that starts at $500

For multi sampling that refers to something completely different. Much easier to google it than explain super sampling. But that will use more GPU power and create more heat. but the image will be crisper.

Ya I was thinking color space and how only top monitors are 10bit right now. lol. Brain fart.

this is what the setting in my game says word for word,

24bit color 24bit depth 1xmultisampling.

i can set it to different variables with the max being 8xmultisampling

And to see if looks better.

Well.

Turn in on to 8x.

See if it looks better.
