supersample
Render beyond resolution
Supersample is a technique in computer graphics where an image is rendered at a higher resolution than the final output, then scaled down.
This process smooths jagged edges and improves visual quality by averaging multiple pixel samples into one: The game's antialiasing supersamples at 4x resolution.
The term applies to any oversampling method that captures more data than strictly needed, then reduces it for a cleaner result.
