Hi everyone I have a few general questions regarding Nvidia Control Panel. Maybe someone here can clarify for me.
1. When should AA enhance application settings be used?
2. When should AA transparency be used? For example supersample 2x, 4x or 8x.
3. Should MFAA be enabled in the global settings?

When needed, in a lot of games those settings will have no effect. I use them in games with no anti aliasing options or games that only let you use FXAA, which is mostly older games the most recent game where I used some of those settings was the mass effect series they were terrible console ports that lacked a lot of those graphical features. I would not enable any form of AA in global settings that could cause issues with certain games, if you feel the game your playing has poor anti aliasing you can play around with those settings for that specific game, might help might not.

Ok so for example playing Rise of the Tomb Raider with FXAA and using enhance application settings 8x and AA transparency supersample 8x is ok?

Yeah it won't hurt anything, not sure if it will do anything either. Can you see any difference with those settings on? Any performance hit?

I use enhance application settings on all my games if its available but im not sure if transparency supersample 8x is doing anything worthwhile. I dont have much of an eye for noticing differences like that. Rise of the Tomb Raider is a graphically heavy game but it runs at 60fps anyway.
