Anisotropic filtering (AF) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Changeable MSAA from 0 to 8x, Post FX handles FXAA. Because the way MSAA is implemented it may leave some aliasing when used with SSAO.[3] SGSSAA can be utilized by enhancing the in-game MSAA, under Nvidia Inspector, without the need of anti-aliasing compatibility bits in DX11. In DX9 you can get higher quality SGSSAA with 0x004010C1[4]. |
