Question about SuperSampling

[Mozzila]

Hello, i am currently using a monitor that is max of 1280x1024 and my HD 5850 is a bit too good for the resolution.


Would i be able to add supersampling to make the GPU render a higher resolution?

What supersampling would i need to make 1280x1024 to be like 1920x1080?

If anyone could answer that would be great

Supersampling is just Anti Aliasing. Have you got the option to add AA to your games? You can also force AA via AMD Control Center, under the Gaming Tab, then 3D Application Settings.

Might as well run 8xAA at that resolution. 1280x1024 will never be like 1920x1080.

Have a read through this to understand it all a bit better :

And keep in mind that supersampling on ATi cards works in DirectX 9 titles only afaik.

Correct. It also slaughters ones performance in modern games.

I wish someone'd come up with an AA algorithm that does transparent textures in a reliable fashion, regardless of API.
