BF3 - Post AA on or off?

Post AA on, MSAA off. That's the best. MSAA is stupidly taxing.

To be honest the difference within those screenshots is so minimalistic I don't think that it even matters whether or not you have it on. I couldn't really tell the difference. Maybe when playing the game myself I'll be more keen to notice something that, but as it stands now it looks like a waste according to your screen shots.

I use Post AA on Medium. Looks good for me... I just don't get why people still use MSAA anymore.... they should just drop it and use these new AA methods more.trastamad03

Better to have the option than have none at all.

Post AA on high and MSAA off. Why we still use MSAA is beyond me.

I say 2x on games for me. Base on the pictures AA made the pq softer meh which is dont like.

But there are other forms of AA that are a billion times better than MSAA.

Post AA is awful, blurry as hell.

You downsampled those pics to 1200x675 so comparasion is invalid post full resolution screen shots.

I have mine on 4x super sampling and it still runs great

Post AA is also very taxing. Textures being one of the least taxing. I gotta find that chart again.

I kinda like the pic with Post AA "off." With Post AA on, everything looks blurred on the edges of all the objects. Hmmm

Cant see much differdnce to be honest,mind you im a bit boozed up.:?

Since you brought it to my attention :P, I just tested it out. I can't tell the difference. :s Although I'm getting several more frame rates because of it and it's much smoother and more stable in terms performance. I was getting 55-60fps, mostly 60fps. Elann2008

Really? Maybe I should turn that off or at least down to medium...

I do not like post aa at all. It looks too blurry for my tastes so I use 2msaa as it looks sharper.

The post aa doesn't help with fences especially on Caspian border. Don't like it at all.

I bought 8gb of ram yesterday as I was getting black screens which resulted in the game quitting the servers whenever I alt tabbed out to check on the unlocks in the battlelog.

The game was using up to 3.6gb of the 4gb I had installed so I put in 8gb and now the game uses up to 4.6gb.

Now there is instant alt tabbing and faster load times as well.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="mitu123"] That also makes it use less VRAM.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"] That's great news. :) This is the first game that actually made me consider buying more RAM. Newegg.com has like 8GB of Kingston or G.Skill ram for only $50, but still $50 that I would like to save, unless I really need more ram. Good to know. ;)spittis

I checked my vram usage and it was 1507 on a gtx 580. Lol.

LOL! Mine hovers around 900-1000mb.

You must have the "Get ready for BF3 edition" even though it's registered as 1.5GB. :P

Post bigger screenshots.

When they're that small they look exactly the same.

imo, the only time you really notice a difference (at a decent resolution) between AA and no AA is when you take a screenshot.

In motion, a lot of that stuff doesn't really add anything to your experience. In fact, it often takes away from it.
