Oh yeah I almost forgot SMAAx2, the thing is we'd need more games supporting that over say FXAA which seems to be the go to choice for most games on PC.

Yeah, it seem strange how lot of devs keep avoiding it, although it's quite superior to FXAA with similar fps impact (Crysis 3 bench):

Also I've noticed I have a new dislike for TAA over on Star Wars Battlefront since it blurs quite a lot of the overall image. It certainly gets rid of a lot of the shininess and jagged edges but boy does it smear Vaseline all over your screen, some people have found that upping the quality res can bring back some sharpness though it will cost some frames for some cards and DSR is probably a nope as being a more viable solution.

I do think we should move on from spamming FXAA in most games, well at elast leave it as the bottom option for AA and sort out the beefy AA options from those that tend to do a better job while not taking too much FPS, I mean TAA and TXAA so far are known as frame hitters with both forcing their own form of blur.
