Anti-aliasing (AA)

On higher end machines it's possible to use resolution scaling for downsampling up to two times the dimensions of selected resolution. Post processing antialiasing is applied before downsampling is done.
Antialiasing is controlled by overall quality presets, and post-processing antialiasing is applied with every preset excluding Low.
