I see what you're seeing. But in my opinion it's normal. You're expecting a level of perfection that can't be reached with current technology. There's a limitation on what you can do with pixels.

It's not normal, and it's not something I will settle for. I wasn't experiencing this problem before 6 months ago on old comp, so no, it's not just "how things are". I just took it into a shop to have it looked at, and the tech immediately saw what I was talking about. So no, I'm not just insane.

Post a small video which shows both the AA settings in control panel and in-game settings, and then the "aliasing" in game.

Oh really?

Well I guess my computer is affected to. Even though I know for a fact it isn't.

See what I mean?

I'm guessing the OP some how ended up in "Ease of Access Center", and has opened the magnifier with it zoomed in.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Well, you are blind then. There is clear proof of aliasing in each of those pics. Anyways, I came here to get help, not to be derided. Take care.
Not sure anyone was deriding you at that point man.. i just dont see it in what you circled. So i take it you didnt try adjusting cleartype and just took the pc in the shop? What res is your monitor? What res are you playing games at?? In the native res of your monitor, right?

Anyway, let us knkw what the shop finds. :)

The problem that me and this other user are having can't be shown by screenshots. You will see it as normal because you dont have the problem but on our screens the edges of the AK are jagged white lines. I would have to take a video with my phone pointing it at my monitor while I'm in a game. I guess I will have to do this since it can't be seen through screenshots or videos.

What did the shop say?

as some you have mentioned: clear text, magnifier, different resolution than native could have an effect. maybe some how you are running on unified windows driver instead of proper nvidia or amd.

Nope.

Either there is a ClearType/Ease of Access issue the OP has mistakingly enabled, or his panel is not refreshing at the correct speed. It's either bizarre scaling or a dodgy refresh rate on the monitor.

I'm not aware of them posting saying they tried a new monitor with a different cable.
That's literally the only thing that my two pc's have in common.
You're using the same monitor and cable setup though right?

Benchmark Scores Really Really High
I've tried using a different DVI cables and even an HDMI cable with a different monitor and the jaggies / aliasing are still all there.

Seriously? Different cables didn't help with the jaggies? NO WAY...

I did read somewhere issues with Creators and NVidia.....I think that's why they released 381.65 which said this
New Features

  • Added support for Windows 10 Creators Update.
  • Added DTS X and Dolby Atmos support for 5.1.2 speaker configuration.
  • Added Dolby Vision support for games.
  • Added NVIDIA® AnselTM support for Snake Pass and Kona.


I however don't have that issue and have yet to update to 381.65 and I'm running Creators but I have a GTX960 and his is a GTX 1080 so you never know.

That's just throwing darts at a big board.

the OS and the Drivers are the only two things left in common....two different PC's narrows that big board down to just what I said OS and Drivers left in common.....seems the big board may have a bulls-eye ;):p

I think that it is a virus that maybe spreades through elektricity. I have had this same problem for 2 years now and it is wery annoying. I was going to sleep over at my friend and i brought my ps4, before i plugget in my ps4 he didnt have the problem but when i did he too did not have any antialiasing. I allso believe that this is a common problem and peapole just dont think about it. Sorry for my shitty english

I think the reality is your electrical grounding sucks, and it's messing up the video signals on your displays because they're poorly grounded. I have seen graphical anomalies caused by poor grounding, particularly on older displays.

You can't reason with silly.

Stop trying to do it, close this trainwreck of a topic, we're attracting the loonies

'spreads through electricity'

'its suddenly there and now my friend sees it too'

'I'm hearing voices'....

Come on.
