Hi,
So I'm running an EVGA GTX 760; love the card, great performance, great price. I've been putting this off for a while, but I finally decided to fine-tune my graphics settings for each game that I play. I used the nVidia Control Panel -> "Manage 3D Settings" pane to change all the settings and I used Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as the program I wanted to fine-tune.
I used "Hellhound’s CS:GO Test Demo" as an FPS tester in-game.
After hours and hours of tinkering with the settings, reading hundreds of threads, referring to "Pro CS:GO graphics guides, high FPS guides", etc... I came to the conclusion that adding Antialiasing and setting it to "2x" INCREASED my FPS by 120fps. HUH!?
Even with all other settings maxed out, if I disable Antialiasing, my FPS would drop significantly (by ~120fps). With everything OFF, except Antialiasing ON 2X, my FPS would skyrocket. I ran tests with Antialiasing both on and off with other settings on low, medium, and high; but indeed, setting the Antialiasing to "2x," boosted my FPS gains tremendously.
So what's going on?
