(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); With the new BF3 patch, You are able to disable Anti-Aliasing to reduce input lag. This may sound nice and it is, but your giving up one thing, for another.

Input lag is usually not a coding error, but happens by graphic related things Anti-Aliasing being one of them, turning it off wont completely remove it. Input lag is always there but doing this will help minimize it.

Anti-Aliasing is a method of fooling the eye that a jagged edge is really smooth. Anti-Aliasing is often referred in games and on graphics cards. In games especially the chance to smooth edges of the images goes a long way to creating a realistic 3D image on the screen. Remember though that Anti-Aliasing does not actually smooth any edges of images it merely fools the eye. Like a lot of things they are only designed to be good enough. If you can't tell the difference then that's fine. Lets take a look at the example below to demonstrate the effects of Anti-Aliasing.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16172[/ATTACH]

The letter on the left is a blown up letter a with no anti-aliasing. The letter on the right has had anti-aliasing applied to it. In this blown up form it looks like its simply blurred but if we reduce the size down to a more standard size you may see the difference.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16173[/ATTACH]

Now look closely at the two letters. You can still tell that the letter of the left is jagged but the letter on the right looks a lot smoother and less blurry than the example above. Remember I have only shrunk the image down back to normal size and have not altered anything else to the image at all. So as you can see, Anti-Aliasing brings a much more pleasing image to the eye. Something like what comes out of a high class printer rather than what you can be used to seeing when on a computer screen.

You can turn this off by going to Options-Display-And you can toggle it from there


Is it worth it?

Honestly I never noticed any input lag in BF3.. But now that it has been brought to my attention, I will probably be paranoid as shit about it.

Or you could tell Sony to make a console that can actually run intense games.

I'm thinking about doing that actually, cause not only can you make your PC run it but it has more features.
