How To Boost Your Frame Rate or FPS By Using RadeonPro's AA Injectors

MSAA is amongst the most popular form of anti-aliasing. It offers a very effective outcome by smoothing out jagged lines and giving a more realistic look to the final image. The downside to this method of anti-aliasing is sometimes the implementation is very taxing on your graphics card and significantly reduces its performance. This video will show you how to achieve similar results that offer image quality that is indistinguishable from having MSAA at 4x while maintaining performance levels similar to not having any anti-aliasing applied. If you run into any problems, feel free to ask here in the comment section below. If you found this video helpful, please give it a thumbs up! Thanks for watching!

This is post process AA, correct? I see little point in using third-party post process AA injectors when both graphics card manufacturers provide their own injectors through the drivers. Maybe if you use Intel graphics.

AMD's catalyst control center doesn't offer dynamic v-sync.

Well this looks pretty "v-syncy" to me...

Oops, I meant adaptive or dynamic v-sync.

Well, sure, but that's not what this thread was about, it was about the AA injectors. AA injectors aren't the same thing as adaptive v-sync...

OP:

I have not viewed your video yet but why are you linking to the oooolllldddd version of RadeonPro? You should have linked to this thread and the latest version of RadeonPro here.

Speaking with the program developer with the very latest version and all of the other help contained within the thread is golden.

I use the FXAA or SMAA injectors in RadeonPro. They tend to make a nice impact for relatively little hit in performance. There are also instances where forcing AA through the CCC will cause issues in games (no red outlines for tanks in World of Tanks, black screens in Mechwarrior Online) and using other types of AA injector can solve those issues.

EDIT: Originally posted MSAA Actually meant SMAA.

Does it require a Radeon? I would actually like to use on my Intel graphics.

Unrelated to this AMD discussion ...

Recently I've come to appreciate and prefer SMAA on my gtx680. SMAA comes through a 3rd party injector. It works in combination with MSAA. So my preferred way of doing AA is now: 4xMSAA (or 8xMSAA) with transparency MSAA and SMAA (on the default/high setting). Nvidia's control panel does not allow for SMAA, so you have to use a 3rd party injector.

Yes RadeonPro requires an AMD videocard/IGP. For you Intel setup, download FXAA Injector and/or SMAA Injector to get access to the AA modes, and as they're completely done in software it should work on any hardware.

No, I'm using the latest version in the video.

With the changes in modern rendering engines, MSAA seems to be be more and more inefficient. I've been using an SMAA injector in pretty much every game now. It gives an excellent reduction in aliasing with almost no performance impact (<5%). It also keeps the image crisp like MSAA does instead of blurring it to hell like FXAA or some super sampling methods. That said, I like to run a clean system and SMAA injectors run with the game's exe and require no install, so I don't have a need for RadeonPro yet.
