Near Photorealism Driven By MSAA | Graphics Optimization By Devs Who Care

Threat Interactive Video 14: Anti-Aliasing has been reduced to nothing but a fancy image "blur" in the eyes of the game industry. This video will tear down the entire internet to show the truth about anti-aliasing and what technologies the future of gaming really needs.
