  A far better approach would be to forgo accuracy and implementing Sample Shading Super Sampling based on hacked in MSAA support to any given game. (Yes I know this is probably unrealistic and unfeasible given the constraints of trying to emulate the 360) https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/SSAA11 This is AMD's version of Nvidia's Sparse Grid Super Sampling. It handles all aliasing in the scene and not just geometry and works on both GPU vendors. (In DirectX 11 at least) SGSSAA can be hacked into DX9 ports of 360/PS3 era games on Nvidia GPUs. (Using compatibility flags built into the driver for MSAA support) Regardless of whether the game uses forward rendering or deferred lighting/rendering.

  Although, my only hope is that once you move to DX11 you can at some point add an enhancement hack for MSAA support. Not just because MSAA works for this generation of games in terms of bang for buck image quality/performance trade off due to simpler rendering and lighting. But also because for the games that do have remaining aliasing issues that aren't related to geometry. You could enhance the MSAA on Nvidia GPUs with SGSSAA. Which will fix 99% of that remaining aliasing, more efficiently than standard Ordered Grid SSAA. See: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/SSAA11 (SFAA Which is the AMD equivalent and will run on either vendor GPU. Though in the sample binary it doesn't expose LOD control to the user.)
