AA Comparison

[Simmonz]

So I have been doing some research and I have come to the following conclusions:

Image Quality:

1. SMAA
2. TXAA
3. MFSA/MSAA/FXAA/MLAA

Performance Hit (lowest performance Hit)

1. FXAA
2. MFSA
3. TXAA
4. MLAA
5. MSAA

I know I painted some pretty broad strokes but could anyone shed some light on if I am at all close ? Links to charts and reviews are welcome.

My data and opinion has come from the following:

[H]ard OCP Crysis 3 Review, [H]ard OCP's FXAA Review, [H]ard OCP's MFSA Review and Tweak Guide's AA Overview.

I think you're way off on image quality. I'd say it should go SSAA, MSAA, then the rest of them.

IMO best overall is SMAA, DSR/SSAA if you have the horse power to spare.

Agreed. Almost never do you get better performance and better image quality leading the charts.
