Antialias=true has negative effects on game performance

[caymanbruce]

I have tried my game on both Chrome and Safari. On Chrome I think it turns on antialias automatically without setting antialias to true. My game frame rate is about 24 - 30 FPS. On Safari if I turn off antialias the frame rate is 55 - 60 FPS, but with "antialias = true" my game frame rate drops to 40 FPS and game play become very slow. But if I don't use antialias on Safari all the PIXI Graphics will have jagged edges. Is there anything I can do about that?

Apply http://pixijs.download/dev/docs/PIXI.filters.FXAAFilter.html on whole stage. Dont forget to set "stage.filterArea = renderer.screen". There are other options for graphics but they require deep research and porting special shaders.

I don't use WebGL. Does filter work with Canvas?

If you dont use WebGL then you have no options for optimizations. No way to improve usage of Canvas2D API, pixi graphics uses it 1:1.
