The situation: you're stuck on a 1080p screen and are tasked with making CS:GO look as nice as possible. Because why not. I covered how to upscale from a lower resolution, now it's time people with faster rigs got some love. Especially now that prices are finally going down again. The PC I tested: Ryzen 3700X, Geforce 3080. I admit I may get a little overly obsessed with the pixel-peeping about 10 minutes in, but I do it so you don't have to.
In case you're wondering why most 4K images in this video appear to be the same resolution as 1080p: that is intentional to show the improved visual quality from downscaling.
In conclusion: More AA smooths edges, higher resolutions smooth everything. DLDSR gives the impression of more smoothness than its resolution would suggest, but doesn't actually add any more detail. 4K 8x MSAA is still the best for defining sub-pixel details.
