If you not sure what this is all about, and you are a PC user with a decent graphics card its worth reading up on. It's fairly technical, but all the same its good reading! If you dont have a BEAST of a GPU its a nice cheap (resource wise) way to smooth out those annoying edges in-game!
Here is a good article, although a bit old, still relevant
Some more info on Guru3d
Simply put, most of us here have heard of, even tried MSAA but it was resource hog and killed your FPS. There have been so many developments and alternatives in the past years, and a lot of people went to FXAA which was great for a number of reasons, except one. It made the image blurry.
SMAA has all the same benefits, with a slightly larger demand resource wise (though still minimal compared to MSAA) and it does NOT have the blurry image problem.
Here is the link to the latest GUI tool which you can use. It is found on this page if you want to confirm.
Interested to hear your thoughts on the matter
Nvidia users can read this and download Nvidia Inspector tool (Nvida control panel on steroids)
If you want SMAA then you need to go the SweetFX route
