    Antialiasing - MSAA Not Working In Any Games/Distance Shimmering


    Hello, I've been getting this annoying issue on 3 of my Windows 10 systems lately...

    2 are desktops and 1 is a gaming laptop... Area 51m to be exact with RTX 2070...

    I can't figure out why the antialiasing looks so terrible now these days? Did NVIDIA do something or is this due to Windows 10? There's a lot of shimmering in the distance in all my video games. MSAA isn't working either. I've tried reinstalling the OS, reinstalling drivers, reseating graphics cards, swapping RAM sticks, changing settings... etc... I can't figure it out, it's so annoying!

    The 3 systems are as follows:

    Windows 10 20H2 19042.789
    Maximus XII Formula/Area 51m R1/Z370F
    10900K/9700K/8700K
    GTX1080Ti/RTX2070/GTX1060
    32GB DDR4/16GB DRR4/16GB DDR4

    I've spoken about this issue with other people in regards to other games and they said they see the same problem so luckily it's not just me. I read that MSAA is being phased out by Windows 10 here:
    https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce...ndows-10-1703/

    If that's true, that's really infuriating since a lot of older titles rely on MSAA.

    Has anyone found a fix yet? Here's a video someone else posted showcasing the problem:

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Bittersweet Shimmer update

    GDR3 is a Microsoft update and Bittersweet Shimmer is a Nokia Update. On your phone, the first is listed as the OS version and the second the Firmware version.



    The current release of GDR3 is a preview version only for developers. For the rest of you, installing this update will void your warranty.

    Antialiasing - MSAA Not Working In Any Games/Distance Shimmering

    FXAA, MSAA and TXAA

    I'd suggest 2x MSAA. Nothing more. What I would do is turn on AA @ 2x, then turn it off and see if you notice any change.. You might not need AA at all.
