| − | '''Anti-aliasing''' is a computer graphics technique which smooths polygon edges, reducing their jaggedness. It is a common graphics option for PC video games as enabling it can vastly improve the games visual appeal.

| − | ==Types of Anti Aliasing==
| |
| − | Some video games offer a degree of choice in the way in which anti aliasing is rendered by your hardware. Below is an explanation of the most common types of anti aliasing.
| |
| − | *'''MSAA''' (Multisample Anti-Aliasing) is a type of supersampling in which the rendering device (usually the [[Graphics Hardware (GPU)|graphics card]]) evaluates each pixel once, with true supersampling only occuring at the edges of a rendered object, and to depth values. Enabling this form of anti aliasing can increase frame rates as it significantly reduces the amount of content anti-aliased when compared to, for example, CSAA or FSAA.
