Anti Aliasing isn't working in any game I play

[thomsonb]

My specs
Gtx 1080
i7 7700k
16 gb ddr4 ram

In almost every game I play my Anti Aliasing doesn't do anything to get rid of the stair case effect. I've tried using a DDU and reinstall my drivers, I've tried super sampling, enhancing AA through Nvidia Control Panel but nothing seems to be working. If anyone knows somehow to fix this issue, i will be so happy. Here is game play of The Witcher 3 where you can see the aliasing everywhere and it's almost unplayable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwWtfPGmFkQ

I have gis problem with Rx 580 .If someone knows what to do, help us solve the problem.

No, it's not just the Witcher 3 though. Overwatch, R6S and even For Honor. Text in game also has the stair way effect.

What resolution are you playing in and monitor size?

1920x1080 24inch

1080p 24" should look fine, there will be something these games have in common like an option to crisp up the picture with a sharpening option, it used to be temporal Anti-Aliasing or taa. There is nothing wrong with your hardware or drivers ill make that loud and clear.

Have you tried dsr or scaling options in game? Remember, if you use dsr (ie 4x) from Nvidia you need to select the higher resolutions it gives in game for it to work.

Every game mentioned so far in this thread uses deferred rendering, which does not work with conventional antialiasing like supersampling or MSAA.

The post filter types do work but add more blurring, and the mentioned DSR is a way to brute-force a rudimentary form of supersampling which doesn't look too hot. It's just straight ordered-grid because it's simply scaled down, with no rotation, random/stochastic, or poisson/jitter sampling algorithm. Those are the methods that make supersampling look good.

What exactly can i do to make the picture quality while keeping my FPS high, also what should i put DSR on?

BFG's answer is quite impressive, obviously knows what hes on about.

Imo instead of trying to use aa to make 1080p look good in these games using this type of rendering technique, id put forth the idea, would a 1440p monitor look better.

I wouldn't want to spend more money for another monitor, i only just got another 144hz last week

Muck around with dsr and aa settings till you get something you like, theres not much else you can do really.

Dsr, check a few settings in nvidiacp, 0.20x and 0.50x. Don't want to go too high otherwise it will impact performance quite a bit. Once ticked, the extra resolutions above 1080p will be in the game's resolution list. Try this and play around with aa, even turn it off.

I've messed around with DSR and tried many options. Found out playing at 1440p completely fixes my problem and removes most edges that i had problems with. Thanks for your help man, i appreciate it so much!!!

 

[boju]

That tells ya maybe you're getting too used to 1080p and starting to see the imperfections

 

[Traditore]

In the nvidia control panel, set antialiasing mode to enhance, antialiasing setting to 2x, and antialiasing transparency to multisample.

I have this problem too, Why do not you help me???

VSP(Virtual Super Resolution) did not work for me(i turned it on in AMD setting)!my monitor's resolution: 1440*900

 

[boju]

Might want to start your own thread.

All i can say is your monitor's resolution is too low for games designed for higher resolutions.

 

[asksajjad842]

I have my own thread http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3773589/answer.html
So you are saying My monitor doesn't support AA?

 

[boju]

Page not found.

No, monitors just show the image. What im saying is even with aa the resolution is too low to make any visual difference.

With amds vsr, if it's anything like nvidia's dsr it adds extra resolutions in-game for you to choose. If vsr works the same way just enabling it wont do anything until you set the resolution in-game.

Sorry,this is my own thread http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3773960/answer.html

VSR isn't work for me ,what sould i do?

 

[asksajjad842]

The only way to fix AA problem is using VSR?
