What it does
Modern TAA-style methods can stabilize the image but may add blur. MSAA is sharper in some engines but can be much heavier.
Games may also call it: TAA
Decision guide
Lower it when
Lower or change the method when the current AA is unusually expensive or overly blurry.
Keep it high when
Keep a stable AA method when foliage, wires and distant edges shimmer without it.
Handheld advice
Avoid disabling anti-aliasing entirely on a small high-density screen unless another reconstruction method replaces it.
Restart
Usually not required
Some games still apply changes only after reloading a scene or restarting.
Do not overread the meter
The method matters more than the generic label.
