Hello, guys. Do you have problems with GTA V's antialiasing? FXAA in particular.
I tried reinstalling video drivers, changing settings in NVIDIA Panel, changing settings in-game, and it doesn't seem to change anything: there are always some jagged lines everywhere, didn't attach screenshots because it's best seen in motion.
Please help if you have a solution or an advice.

Driver 350.12, Windows 8.1 64 bit, GTA V Steam Version.
i7 3770, ASUS P8Z77-V LX, GTX 560, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD.
 


23" 1920x1080 - Why does that matter? It would be visible on any screen...
I think AA was better earlier, but recent patches messed it up - at least some people say so.
 
Its possible, I don't use AA in GTA V, but if I would, radeon cards have an "edge detect" option which pretty much fixes that as the card actually analyses edges and corrects aliasing "manually" at the cost of AA having a minor additional performance hit.
 


You can even see that broken AA in each new GTA V on PC video on YouTube...
 
Know this is an older post, but I was also experiencing major aliasing issues in GTA V. It seemed like the FXAA just wouldn't work, and yet it took a larger toll on performance than it should have - it actually ran the game at around 10-12 fps lower than MSAAx2. At the time (late July - early Aug) I'd just gotten a new computer and thought it might be a hardware issue but since then I've used FXAA on other games and it works like it should; based on what others have previously mentioned on this thread and user comments I've read on several forums (by AMD and Nvidia users alike) it might be an issue caused by a patch to the game. I did try forcing a few different methods of AA in CCC but it did not play well with the game and caused significant frame rate drops. Been a little while since I've played GTA V but I thought I'd check to see if anyone else had this issue and if they'd solved it or not. If it is an issue with a patch, hopefully it has been or shortly will be remedied. If anyone has any up-to-date info about this, please post. Thanks.
