Hello! I have an Intel HD Graphics 4400 and I found no options to enable the Antialiasing (AA) filter at the control panel. I guess i can enable it in some games, but I'm running some old games that does not have AA option in game. Theres someway i can enable it?

Thanks!

Hi Gilberto,

I am sorry you are having this problem. This feature is embedded on the Graphics controller but on the Graphics Control Panel there is no a current option to change. In this case, this feature needs to be changed from the game itself.

Intel's latest drivers for HD4400 offer an ability for you to force a version of "post processing" AA called CMAA on through the Control Panel...

See info in the release notes from when this feature was enabled:

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24245/eng/ReleaseNotes_GFX_15_36_3907.pdf http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24245/eng/ReleaseNotes_GFX_15_36_3907.pdf

CMAA* (Conservative Morphological Anti-Aliasing)

The driver includes CMAA* (Conservative Morphological Anti-Aliasing) for DirectX, a post-processing effect in games that reduces the jagged edges during gaming.

Benefits and utilization:

 CMAA offers higher quality anti-aliasing effect than MLAA (Multi-sample Anti-Aliasing)*, FXAA (Fast Approximate AntiAliasing)* and without performance impact. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/conservative-morphological-anti-aliasing-cmaa-updatehttp:// this white paper for more information.

 This effect can be initiated through Intel Graphics control panel.

 Enable the feature via Intel Graphics control panel before launching a game and disable after game is exited to avoid

any unintended blurring in other applications.

 To reduce the probability of unintended blurring, certain applications are automatically excluded from the support

list: Windows* explorer, login screen, Windows* home screen, Internet Explorer*, Google* Chrome, and Firefox*

browsers, and the Windows 8.1 Photo applications
