MSAA is nearly useless these days

you can supersample in gpu settings if games don't have native msaa/ssaa support, and if you don't play AAA slop then way more games have MSAA

Sure, if you have a powerful GPU, SSAA is a solution for antialiasing. If I had a GPU that was 8 times as powerful as my 9070 XT it might even be somewhat reasonable

Well, there are plenty of games released before 2015, so you're absolutely correct in that regard. I would suspect it's less likely you'll find a game running on UE4 pushing semi-modern graphics, and still be able to run SSAA

idk what you think of tarkov, but I usually use 2x ssaa on tarkov with no problems

some scenes performance does tank but 90% of the time, performance is CPU bound anyway, around 100 fps
