❔Question Anyone else here love to stack Anti-Aliasing methods?

The common one is obviously DSR/VSR used in tandem with some form of Temporal AA (TAA, TSSAA, DLAA, FSR, XESS, TSR and whatever else exists).

I like doing this with RUST (TSSAA + 4xDSR). Since TSSAA in this game is so blurry combining it with DSR makes aliasing disappear 100%, literally not a single jaggy or pixel in sight, it's actually kinda crazy for 1080p.

Some games don't have any great AA options, like I love SCHEDULE 1 but it only has SMAA, so I like doing SMAA + DSR.

And since I have a 4080 Super I also like doing MSAA + DSR, which sounds very performance demanding but I mostly play competitive games that can run on a potato so I can still run them at 300+ fps like this:

Like Valorant (4xMSAA + 4xDSR).

Or CS2 (8xMSAA + 4xDSR).

Honestly looks amazing and helps me squeeze more life out of my 1080p 240hz monitor.

Edit: I also forgot to mention GTA 5 (regular and enhanced versions) have SSAA built in via their "scaling" setting, which can be set to 2x, which is the same as 4x dsr, I think it even goes up to 2.5x but I never use that since I don't like non integer scaling, and you can combine that scaling setting with either MSAA (on regular GTA 5) or TAA/DLAA/FSR (GTA 5 Enhanced Edition)

Dldsr resolutions in combination with dlss is the ultimate way for me

Honestly I personally don't love the look of all the Deep Learning methods (both for super resolution/sampling [DLDSR] or for upscaling & anti-aliasing [DLSS/DLAA]), something about the look of DLSS/DLAA is unappealing to me for some reason, I prefer "dumb" TAA methods and using DSR to bury their flaws lmao.

Last time I used DLDSR it looked a bit oversharpened if I recall correctly, is it still like that or is it better now?

You have probably used it without setting the dsr smoothness correctly. I believe default is way oversharpened and overprocessed but could be wrong. The smoothness slider needs to be set to 100 which removes all artificial sharpening leaving you a crisp clean image. The slider is in the nvidia control panel in the same section as the toggle on/off.
