[Question] Antialiasing Technique

[041.Vento]

As the title, which technique Warframe uses to remove the aliasing?

I've done some test with my card (nVIdia Geforce GT 635M) :

 

1st Test, from 40 to 60 FPS :
 - in-game AA enabled (default AA of Warframe)

 - all driver settings : "controlled by application"

 

2nd Test, from 45 to 70 FPS :

 - in-game AA disabled (default AA of Warframe)

 - 32xCSAA (forced by driver)

so.... wut?

AFAIK Warframe uses simple FXAA. Not the best of options but more and more common in games these days.

It's because FXAA is applicable to any game, regardless what GPU and/or renderer (D3D/OpenGL) you're using, and it's currently the fastest AA method available as it only relied on shader processing (with a bit overall blur as its disadvantage).

Not to mention it doesn't have that much of a performance hit compared to other AA Methods.
