→Anti-aliasing/AA
| Line 61: | Line 61: | ||
Overriding application Anti-aliasing via Graphics Card (ex. AMD Catalyst Control Center or the NVidia graphics equivalent) settings rather than using the settings inside Dolphin DOES increase performance if you are using DX9/DX11 as the backend. I tested this myself with version 4.1 of Dolphin and the FPS comparison is the FPS difference when running Xenoblade Chronicles. I know for a fact it is overriding the AA because OpenGL backend will give a black screen unless I turn off the override and it was noted in a bug report as the reason for the black screen.

:FPS with no AA in Dolphin: 30, FPS with no AA in Dolphin, Graphics Card override to 24x: 30, FPS with 2x AA in Dolphin: 20, FPS with 8xAA in Dolphin: 5, FPS with 4xSSAA in Dolphin: 5. I don't know why you wouldn't consider this an improvement in performance since you get better graphics with same FPS.

1. You are likely sending your videocard into a higher performance state by enabling AA in the graphics drivers system. That doesn't count for the performance guide since most GPUs do not have that limitation. Furthermore there are a large number of differences between Antialiasing types. I get the distinct impression your speed increase is because one is an inferior type of AA than the other. Either way, for it to be on the performance guide it must be a performance increase that anyone can implement, and not isolated to certain drivers or classes of hardware. | |||
2. Even if you get a speed improvement for AA that is reproducible on all systems, it doesn't matter to the performance guide. Anti-aliasing is an enhancement and not a part of the raw performance considerations that the performance guide is about. | |||
