Low Res +AA vs High res no AA

[IronyTaken]

So I was browsing another forum and saw a thread about this.

One of the guys was trying to claim that higher resolution doesn't matter much and that a 720p game with 2x AA will look just as a good as if it were a 1080P game with no AA.

I disagreed with him and I was wondering what everyone's opinion on this.

personally i prefer lower res +AA. it just looks more polished o.o

At higher resolutions there is no need for AA anyway.

Please tell me you can see a difference in these screenshots.

I made them the same size since that is what they will look like on full screen.

Try viewing the pics at 1680x1050 res to get the exact size for full screen.


Here is the 1280x720 one






And here is the 1680x1050 one

So everything thesame besides AA and resolution?

I would go with the 1080P one.
Higher res eliminates AA to a certain degree and the texture models would look better as well.

I have never cared about anti-aliasing. It's like those guys who play SNES games on emulator and use the wacky graphical masks instead of enjoying it in its pixelly original goodness.

So, definitely high-res, no-AA.
