Now x-plane uses SSAA, which means X times the native resolution, meaning that 4X SSAA on a 1K monitor means a 4K load for the GPU, even worse, since just native 4K is more efficient than 4X SSAA on a 1K monitor. MSAA is another method for AA, which yields pretty much the same quality as SSAA but with much less FPS cost. FSR is an upscaling method, so x-plane can render stuff at lower resolution (more FPS) and then FSR will upscale it back. There are typically multiple modes for FSR, it remains to be seen how it'll be quality VS fps.

Vulkan helped but not nearly enough. Edited May 14, 20224 yr by jarmstro
