Ai CC The Majestic Anti Aliasing feature

[hikaru00007]

let me ask you, why do we use adobe illustrator in the first place anyway ?

" to get a sharp, clear, vector artwork, which not jagged, pixelated, or NEEDS for an ANTI ALIASING "

i ventured a long journey from adobe photoshop 7 (wait, hear me out) and at that time, i never knew Ai (not Ai for name at that time). I pretty sure that people never get this .. annoying jagged line when using Ai (except for newbie who accidentaly turn Pixel preview ON)

so.... what happened in Ai CC 2020 ? did brainiac in Adobe had seizure or what ? when does ... Ai need some anti Aliasing ???
or is it just a mock in the face? like, "go buy latest VGA you poor!, we gonna force you to upgrade since we add an anti aliasing layer when running Ai, you can turn it off, but you will get some Jagged Edge! muahahahaha!" ... 

please disagree with me, i want to hear from a person who have tons of gold, so he/she never had a problem with a hardware upgrade, so this problem is not their problem at all..

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say.

Do you think anti-aliasing has changed since AI 2020?

What is your exact workflow? What kind of file are you exporting?

I am not sure I understand, a computer screen is a low resolution device and benefits from anti-aliasing.

because it negates the actual premises of 'vector'-based software. and as a gamer i understand that anti-aliasing hogging the resources, wether it's the VGA, CPU, RAM. and disabling it can crank up the FPS
so pixel-view mode is one thing. but anti-aliasing is just a stretch. why do we need to anti-alias when we clearly worked on non-pixel workspace?
i mean in my work PC with wonderful specs, this thing is no problem at all.
i'm speaking as a personal user with low-end PC

If you want anti-aliasing off:

Uncheck in Preferences > General > Anti-aliased Artwork

Disable the GPU preview (Cmd or Ctrl E)

does turning it off affect the quality of the exported file?

[Ton Frederiks]

Turning it off in the export settings does affect the exported result.
