(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.

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.

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

Thanks for the info. I play BF3 on Xbox so this doesn't affect me, but I found your description of Anti-Aliasing to be usefull :y:

i never seen input lag. i tried it and it was mine and it doesn't mess my gaming

Thanks

I knew that its always there no matter what game. But it pisses me off because battlefield is such a good game.
