Does supersampling increase FPS?
For example, when supersampling is turned off, the PS4 Pro version of The Last Guardian plays at 30 fps with occasional, slight drops of one or two fps. Turn supersampling on and you get better visuals but frame rates that can drop to the mid-to-low 20s.
What is the point of supersampling?
Supersampling or supersampling anti-aliasing (SSAA) is a spatial anti-aliasing method, i.e. a method used to remove aliasing (jagged and pixelated edges, colloquially known as "jaggies") from images rendered in computer games or other computer programs that generate imagery.
How does Ssaa work?
Supersample Anti-Aliasing, or SSAA, is the most basic form of anti-aliasing. It works by taking a higher resolution image and downsampling the pixels to fit native resolution. The final result avoids jagged edges by averaging colors near the edges. In SSAA 4x, one pixel is stretched out to four.
