Description

When enabling MSAA in the games, the Framerate of the game drops significantly.

Resolution

Multisample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) is a type of spatial anti-aliasing. It greatly taxes resources such as textures, bandwidth and fillrate. Though it is less performance intensive than Super Sampling Anti-Aliasing, it is possible for MSAA to be multiple times more intensive for a given frame than other techniques like FXAA, SMAA or MLAA. The higher the type of MSAA selected (2x, 4x, 8x, 16x) the higher the impact in performance.

A performance reduction when enabling MSAA in your videogames is expected behavior.
