So I am rather new to the whole antialising world. I have read on the different types and come to the conclusion that MSAA is the best looking but hardest hitting.

Well my question is where do I find it??? Is that a setting that is enabled in games only or am I able to set it using the Nvidia control panel?

The only options I have in the control panel are to enable FXAA, or CSMA. I have heard that 8xq CSMA is equivalent to 8x MSAA...but why can I just select MSAA? I see it no where. Is it special to certain types of cards or games?

Generally you can enable it in game. For DX11, MSAA sure as crap isn't the best looking at all, it basically does nothing other than drag the framerate to its knees. Sadly this affects most AA options for Nvidia in DX11, you'll pretty much have to experiment game by game, or just go without it. MSAA also does nothing on transparent textures, so if the game you are playing has alot of trees/bushes/grass etc it won't help much. There really isn't one blanket AA you can use on all games. Only method you can universalize is downsampling, works in all games and undoubtedly looks the best, but the performance hit is pretty big.

Also, the Nvidia Control Panel likes to lie to you, it will say it has activated AA, when alot of the time it...

Also, the Nvidia Control Panel likes to lie to you, it will say it has activated AA, when alot of the time it simply ignores your custom profile, this is to stop people activating an AA type for a game that might possibly not support it, or have some issues when it is active. To get around this, you have to use Nvidia Inspector to remove the flags that stop it from doing so, the option is something like 'Treat override as application controlled', you just change that to 'None'.

You need to hit the little spanner button to get into game profiles. For overclocking you should use MSI Afterburner.

Well I have Nvidia inspector 1.9.7.2. Only little banner I see is show overclock. That then brings up a performance level and then just shows/allows the base clock, memory clock, ect. I don't see anything about profiles? Take a screen shot?

I found it but something I see in every pic but can't find in mine is the compatibility area. I don't have that category. So I can't set a compatibility flag. Is there a setting I must turn on? Also for SSGAA I need a injector? Where can I find or how can I use this injector?
