What is anti-aliasing in gaming?
Anti-aliasing is a setting commonly found in video games. It comes in all different shapes and sizes, but it generally serves one purpose.
Its function is to remove jagged lines (or jaggies) in real-time, making games like Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, and VALORANT appear smoother and more fluid-looking.
Video games are made up of hundreds and often thousands of little squares called pixels, joined together to create a moving picture. These squares, while often fit for purpose, can look out of place.
