The performance hit is pretty drastic, though: 4X supersampling generally takes four times as long to render.

Supersampling is the gold standard of antialiasing methods in terms of image quality and is widely used in offline rendering by the likes of Pixar. The various methods generally represent different sets of tradeoffs between image quality and performance.Īs I noted in my initial review of the new GeForce cards, I’ve been part of a small chorus of people calling on Nvidia to enable supersampled antialiasing in their graphics control panel for some time now. Today’s graphics card control panels and in-game settings menus are littered with a dizzying collection of antialiasing options intended to address this problem. Jaggies are easy to spot-and distracting in motion The human eye does a spectacular job of recognizing patterns, so we tend to fixate on the jagged edges and crawling effects caused by mapping irregular shapes to a regular matrix of pixels. GPUs are attempting to represent objects with all sorts of funky contours, from diagonal lines to curved surfaces to complex, irregular shapes, yet the final images must be mapped to a regular, fixed grid of square pixels. In graphics, antialiasing is any of numerous methods intended to deal with a fundamental problem. Naturally, then, I’ve decided to take a closer look at DSR, to see exactly what it is, how it works, and what sort of images it produces.

Given that a whopping 77% of TR readers have monitors with a resolution of 1920×1200 or lower, I suspect DSR might become a very popular feature among PC gamers. That sounds a little too good to be true, but still, my interest is piqued. Nvidia bills it as a means of getting 4K quality on a 2K display. DSR is a way for a fast GPU to offer improved image quality on a lower-resolution display. One of the more intriguing capabilities Nvidia introduced with the GeForce GTX 970 and 980 is a feature called Dynamic Super Resolution, or DSR, for short.
