From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(Removed the FPS-drop "fix"; it is not a fix, MSAA is in almost every game a very compute-intensive AA-method. Disabling it in a game almost always results in a performance-boost. It is just a too general thing for all games using MSAA to leave in here.) |
(Adding waybackmachine-version of the original reference + add some notes about the age of the issue) |
