SMAA vs FXAA

[Min Khant Aun]

I recently played FARCRY 4 and i tried different graphic settings.I tweeked it to get 30+fps.But my discovery is stunning.I tried to off AA and i got 30-31 fps.But when i turned on SMAA,fps went to 38-40 fps.I said WTF?So,the question is can SMAA fix my all games performance problem?If it really can,can i force SMAA in games just like forcing FXAA from Nvidia control panel?If SMAA can fix performance problem,is it better than FXAA?

If you're having performance problems, you could just use neither. Seriously, SMAA and FXAA may not hinder performance much, but if you find that one works better than the other, either use that one, or don't use either. And no you can't force SMAA, and it's not always going to work better, it depends on the game.
