The option to apply antialiasing is present is almost every PC game on the market today. In most cases, the options exists to apply Antialiasing in levels like 2x, 4x, 8x, and occasionally 16x. This is the number of passes the AA algorithim makes on the current frame, and a higher number can impart noticeable performance slowdown. If you are experiencing low FPS, lowering or diabiling the AA setting is a great way to increase performance.
