Really what is the point of playing at those settings? It hardly resembles the game.

[jbueno]

You must be using mods to make it look that bad.

I got similar results of my freshly installed from Steam, unmodded, so I´m afraid that´s the game at its very lowest.

You have a shitty computer and can't buy a current gen console at the moment?

Back in 2004 I had to play through a decent chunk of HL2 at the settings posted earlier in this thread. It's best to think of it as like playing a last gen version of the same game.

so does morrowind look like daggerfall on low settings then?

Honestly, the only way to actually play Oblivion on a low-end PC is by using Oldblivion, which runs better and looks far nicer:

lol, I remember playing at those settings and only getting 5 frames per second... When the game would load, that is... Now, my skyrim looks like crysis and Oblivion uses all 4k textures and I get 60 frames per second. This thread is so humbling. (I'm using that term correctly, aren't I?)

I just checked and there are not a lot of graphics settings to play with in the game menu, only support for Pixel Shaders and Draw Distance.

Humbling would be you stumbling on some of the pics in the High-Res thread thinking what you were playing looked good. This is almost the opposite of humbling, though not quite.

Runs fine here (Steam version), although it took a loooong time to start up the first time, and the very first load was also very loooooong (but maybe that's just how the game is).

[hypernima]

Disgusting.

I had that problem with my disc-based version of FC1, so I ended up buying it on Steam for like $3 and it runs fine there. I'm not sure what majicks they wring, but the Steam version works.

[IMACOMPUTA]

This thread really goes to show how much advancements in lighting tech have changed game graphics, holy shit.

[IMACOMPUTA]

Crysis I changed it to the lowest res on 4:3 but it didn't stay for some odd reason, just notice the screens are bigger...sorry...

Funny thing is that everyone remembers the game looking like this, because thats the only way anyone could run it when it came out.

I beat the game like that^

It is kinda impressive how that game scales. I know Q3A blah blah, but it has some pretty good lighting and texture work maxed all out. And you also have the Wii version which has most of the game/MP, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of people intentionally play it on the lowest settings. I knew somebody who got like 300 fps on the CS:S benchmark and still played the game with everything set to lowest possible to get that advantage.

[Sethos]

Was messing around with GTA IV and because I have a 4GB GPU(s) I got the usual bug where you can't change settings until you add a command line. Well, got a screenshot at least ( Which I know doesn't adhere to the resolution rule but I couldn't go higher so this is lowest of the lowest low. )

Yes, yes you did! I completely overlooked that. Thanks.

Got to say, in terms if visual fidelity both in low and high setting the game's IQ is poor (down the AA).

Half Life 2, Lowest Graphical Settings Possible (CFG in Description)

[Druz]

I don't think people are looking at these examples properly. Looking "amazing" on low isn't necessarily the goal. It's all about how much frames you're getting with a bad computer. Games like HL2 look pretty bad, but it scales just about everything down to be playable. Bad developers can still make a game look great on low by having a difficult to scale engine.

So I'm more curious about FPS gain vs Visual detail left over.

[The Janitor]

This thread...

[MNC]

I always wonder what generally is better... I used to have a horrendous PC and play on the lowest of the lowest settings in 800x600. Should we be glad games can be this ugly, or if the low settings look the same as the regular versions?
