It does, as it changes your perception of noise levels.
Can i ask you if by pixel filtering you mean a “standard image aa” production-like? (area, etc)?Yes. Below you can see to images out of V-Ray RT GPU; one is rendered without pixel filtering, and the other is with a pixel filter. As you see, the filtered image looks much better aa-wise around the area light (they both took the same time to render). Athough the filter in this case is not one of the standard ones, we developed it specifically to deal with AA on high contrast edges.
With filtering:
Without filtering:
