>>5809816Howdy nigger. I'm gonna school you on this subject, so get ready.
>I'm down-sampling from 2560x1440Your screenshots are 2560x1440. You're not down-sampling.
>forced AA at the same timeForced AA doesn't always work.
>That game's jaggies are there to stayMaybe, I mean devs do all sorts of stupid shit locking down their game clients from driver forced AA and stuff it's dusgusting, but that doesn't mean you can't put good screenshots in here.
Assume a native resolution of 750x1500 (Portrait orientation)
750x1500
http://a.pomf.se/iicggm.PNG750x1500 (2x Downsampling AA)
http://a.pomf.se/ukojho.PNG750x1500 (4x Downsampling AA)
http://a.pomf.se/pqihma.PNG750x1500 (8x Downsampling AA)
http://a.pomf.se/rqcwel.PNGTo down-sample, you must over-sample. Here are the oversampled renders that were used for the above downsample AA pictures.

http://a.pomf.se/hhzhcz.PNG>BUT OMFG DA OVERSAMPLE IMAGES ARE JAGGY WEN ZOOMED IN BROYeah, that's how it works. That's exactly why your 2560x1440 images have jaggies, because you're basically uploading the 8x Oversampled image instead of the 750x1500 8x Down-sampled Anti-Aliased result.
If your downscaling doesn't reduce jaggies in-game at all, you have to tweak down-sampling settings like
A) use the GPU's scaling
B) use the monitor's scaling
I took the time to down-sample your 2560x1440 image to 720p (never downsample by fractions, 1440 downto 720 downto 360 downto 180, etc)
High resolutions truly do result in better images.
1440p > 720p with 2x MSAA, but 720p with 8x MSAA will appear smoother and won't have any jaggies but at the same time won't be able to display as many fine details like text on signs in the distance where 1440p would.
TL;DR
you doing it wrong, dun goofed, get better.
Questions?
