For clears, blits, and the like, multisampling doesn't have to be enabled, which means pixel values are stored in all samples regardless of sample positions. Multisampling can be problematic if the rendered quad doesn't cover whole pixels (floating-point precision may play a role, not sure), so it's better not to enable it.
