Tweaking the .ini to add true MSAA, Anisotropic Filtering and Triple Buffering

Modify BattleSystemSettings.ini^{[citation needed]}

Before editing, make a backup of BattleSystemSettings.ini. You will only be modifying settings that fall under the primary [SystemSettings] section, [SystemSettingsBucket] sections contain presets that should not be touched.
Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Smite\BattleGame\Config\
Open BattleSystemSettings.ini.
Using the Find function (Ctrl+F), search for the following lines:
MaxAnisotropy and change it to the desired number (max 16) (extremely minimal performance impact).
Change bAllowD3D9MSAA=False to bAllowD3D9MSAA=True to enable MSAA. MaxMultisamples controls the number of MSAA samples, goes up to 8.
If you use Vsync, find bUseTripleBuffering=False and change it to bUseTripleBuffering=True.
Save the file and launch the game.
