I gave up on reddit a long time ago. I remember one time, a guy posted native 1440p BF3 screenshots and reddit exploded. "BF3 higher than 1080p, are you mad??!" "These are amazing!!" "WHAT KIND OF MONSTER MACHINE DO YOU HAVE??!"
To be fair, reddit is a perfect example of what what kind of PC gaming machine most people actually have. That's why these high resolution screenshot posts are so popular over there. Someone discovers 4K, is amazed, posts their below average screehshots on reddit and bam, karma goldmine.

This is the Bullshot thread.
Yeah but I could say the same about that Planetside 2 shot where not a single thing isn't being motion blurred
Doesn't exactly make for great image quality Not sure if the rules are against ugly games though. They only seem to indicate that we push games to the highest quality possible.

it was taken at a resolution of 3200 x 1800 so it would fit the defenition of a bullshot .
updated the title also to make that clear.

It also includes a HUD, which is against the rules.

I thought it said 1080p, and yeah, the Hud is what I was really trying to say.

I suppose, but it was more of a shot to demonstrate the lighting and motion blur. meh.

So since my monitor is 1440 in width I can't post any of my screenshots here?
EDIT: Is resizing the pictures in photoshop allowed or would that compress the image too much?

It's encouraged. A lot of people are resizing from 3840x2160 -> 1920x1080. Just be sure to save them as a PNG or an uncompressed JPG and you'll be fine.

no that is no problem as long as your pictures are resized at 1920 x 1080
the 1920 is the important part
also no compression or hosts that compress them (imgur ..)
sadly i am using faststone image vieuwer wich is an amazing downloadable freeware which i recommend so i cant help you with that but someone else probably can.
also be aware this is the bullshot thread where we push games to highest resolutions possible with your rig.
if you just want to post high res pics at 1080 there is another thread for those.
also only 1 pic a post 5 max on one page.
Edit:beaten.
something is not quite right with the laugh lines but it can pass for now .
final touches will be done tommorow.
Looking a lot better!
Corruption and artifacting is usually the first sign your GPU is overheating.
I've had mine run well over 100 degrees for a short sustained amount of time without any problems, though. When I push my card too far it just straight up blue screens and crashes, I don't get any artifacting.

overheating cannot be it because i only set my res that high take my pics and return back to normal sometimes in less then 30 seconds .i even did check my temps afterwards and the highest it ever went is 64 C°. Well whithin the safety zone .
i am starting to believe that it is my monitor that is freaking out at that resolution .
The only time i had a BSOD was when i tried to bullshot planetside 2 at ultra settings and i think i overloaded my CPU .
had to google that as i am not a stargate watcher but yes the resemblance is there.

everybody has taken this atleast once.
at this resolution my screen start freaking out and it looks like someone put a green or red filter over it .
what i want to know is : is this is a sign i am pushing it to far ?

Some fans ported the Walking Dead models into Garry's Mod and Source Film Maker so I thought I'd give it a try.
That's awesome.

Truly 1 frame per second. But this game looks about 100 times better in motion than in stills, though I was pretty happy with this area. Also, it's only like an hour into the game, so no spoilers.

I've already seen that screenshot 3 times, lol.
Yeah, looks decent in motion so far. Still has that kinda smoggy look to it.
Trying to hack in my usual no-clip but it crashes left and right. Fickle engine. Yay....

I know skyrim shots are super old hat now, but I'm starting to actually dig into it for the first time. Alt from the hi res thread:
The thing about Skyrim is that the shots don't really get repetitive. There's always enough crazy ENBs and mods to have interesting, unique scenes to take shots of.
It's not like Crysis 3 where "Oh, I've seen that field of tall grass 3 times this week already".
EDIT: Uh, no offense to the Crysis 3 shot of tall grass that I didn't notice was on this page until after I made this post. I meant in general.

True! Skyrim is cool like that.
This last image has turned into an enb experiment (I just updated it haha). I have manual DOF finally yay! But Not I just need to get rid of the grain (great for gameplay, not for shots).

That shot was not about the grass, it was more about the compositon and lighting... I think I have to remade this pic, the grass is a bit blurry
Ok, new shot...

You have Chromatic Abberation enabled, which is kind of grating to some people in here. Just food for thought.
(lol, I'm one to talk...)

Fuck tha haters!
Chromatic Abberation is fine and is even how the devs wanted the game to look. Keep it in and keep it going brother!
It doesn't really bother me much in Crysis 3, at all. The most egregious use of it I've seen is from the Unreal Engine tech demo Andy posted, this one really fucks with my eyes:

CA is a worthy thing to implement, but it will not be pleasing (moreso than similar effects like grain, and DOF, and motion blur), until it gets to a level of fidelity on par with CG films. I think developers exaggerate the shit out of it so that they can make it simple and still have you think "oh, look at that!". I love some really good CA.

In all honesty, I agree. That's why I love Planetside's implementation so much. I can barely tell it's there, but it adds to the scene.
Some fans ported the Walking Dead models into Garry's Mod and Source Film Maker so I thought I'd give it a try.
Why is she whispering to be quiet? It doesn't have any ears to hear.
Love it, though.

Well, yeah, on the whole I'd agree. The only caveat is that alot of games wish to present themselves more.. not even cinematically, but through a 'lens' of sorts. Otherwise lens flares for instance don't make sense in FPS's either. To me, I think games should decide what they're doing more importantly, not just by what looks good on the cheap. If you aren't going to mimic the eye, have some reasons for it.
Screw all this hokey gloss though. I want better dynamic lighting.
Well, it's using a native FXAA so ...
You could look over the rules with the suggestions I sent you earlier.Well, it's using a native FXAA so ...
Ooooh I see, yeah sorry about that, mobile-gaf has a tendency of obfuscating pending PMs and all that

Oh sorry, didn't mean today but last time we spoke -- I wrote down some suggestions.
wanted to post this earlier but gorgot about it.
its propably the closest i can get to 4K res.
IMO if the FXAA is built into the game and not removable i think the rules should make an exception to it.
OR you can make a rule that in these cases lumasharpener should be used .
i have never heard a complaint either about posting sleeping dogs bullshots here despite the game using FXAA toghether with msaa.
again just throwing my opinion against the wall here.
