Multisample anti-aliasing
open-in-new
<p>Multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) is a type of <a href="/facts/Spatial_anti-aliasing/od0SgvLy">spatial anti-aliasing</a>, a technique used in <a href="/facts/Computer_graphics/lapBE8wv">computer graphics</a> to remove <a href="/facts/Jaggies/J72S809e">jaggies</a>. </p><p>It is an optimization of <a href="/facts/Supersampling/15ysD7bJ">supersampling</a>, where only the necessary parts are sampled more. Jaggies are only noticed in a small area, so the area is quickly found, and only that is anti-aliased. </p>
