- Tested by taking several screenshots in the same spot at an angle with several AF sample rates and comparing them. The game appears to force 8x AF at all times, as disabling and testing AF through Nvidia Control Panel resulted in blurrier textures at lower strengths and sharper textures at higher strengths in comparison. Forcing 8x AF through the Control Panel puts it at a match for the AF set by the game.
