This method though did a piss poor job of cleaning up the jaggies meaning in a way the third game looked worse for me than the first two. For Mass Effect 3 I was forced to use the in game FXAA to maintain 60 fps. For the first two games I had forced on 4x MSAA and was able to maintain 60 fps at max settings. So I turned on SMAA and I took no performance hit, but had just as good coverage as when I had 4x MSAA on. 4x MSAA caused a good 10 fps dip for me in that game and the framerate was poor enough already. I then tried it on Assassin's Creed Revelations. In Dishonored for example aliased edges were almost entirely removed yet I never dropped below 60 fps with all settings maxed out. So I tried it out and amazingly it worked just as promised. It caused almost no hit to framerates, but it didn't blur the image and provided almost as much coverage as 4x MSAA. But I'd been told that SMAA provided the best of both worlds. The downside is that they provide worse coverage (meaning they don't get rid of all the jaggies) and they tend to blur the overall image because they are in essence a blur filter. Compared to traditional brute force methods like multi-sampling and super-sampling, post-process techniques require a lot less processing power. Basically it is a form of post process anti-aliasing like FXAA or MLAA. The thing I have used though is an included form of anti-aliasing called SMAA.

You can basically do anything you could do with a static picture - increase or decrease vibrancy, sharpen the image, add in Sepia Toning, vignetting, HDR and a bunch of other cool effects. It is a cool little program that lets you apply post-process effects to games. So I recently was looking for a good way to anti-alias my PC games and came across something called SweetFX.
