Yes, they both replace the same standard DirectX .dll file (either dxd9.dll or dxgi.dll for DX9 or DX10 mode, respectively)

Set them up in JSGME, switch 'em back and forth, then they are super easy to install.


+1. I'm now using SMAA with my ATI card, and I very much like how it fixes jaggies.

For those of you looking for an easy way to try out any of these FXAA and SMAA options, check out JSGME FXAA and SMAA utils to easily do what Bandy suggests above.

I'm really liking SMAA, and it's very easy to set up using JSGME. Thank you. Is there a way to set the SMAA to 4X? I think 2X is default?

Im gonna try this as soon as I can, I really cannot stand those jaggies, so if this works Ill be a happy camper, even if I have to reduce some settings or lower the resolution.
