Does increasing resolution reduce jaggies?

[BZeto]

It only makes sense that by increasing resolution visible jaggies dont seem quite as bad, is this correct?

I mean 4X AA at 1024x768 may look somewhat similar to 1600x1200 with no AA as far as visible jagged edges go, right?

Pretty much, doesn't completely remove them, but removes most of it.

The higher the resolution the less jaggies.

 

[warcrow]

Yup yup.

Agreed. I perfer the look of high res to high AA though.

Yep, which is why I still think AA is useless for anything except for old games that can't run at high resolutions(Conflict: FreeSpace would be my best example of this).

What resolution are you talking about though? Surely not 1024x768 and up?

1600x1200 with 4xAA. Best of both worlds.

I run everything as high as I can, however Freespace for example is limited to 640x480, which looks less than optimal on a 21" monitor, to say the least.
