Oh, I thread I can contribute to!
This is the best my current pc can do. Almost playable at 20ish fps.
That's basically how I played through Half-Life 2. Pentium 4 1.4ghz (the shitastic first-gen P4s) with a FX5200. The game stuttered every time I used the gravity gun.

Will give this a try with S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Alpha Protocol when my new PC arrives.
This is how I played through most of The Witcher
Everything set as low as possible or turned off, resolution 1366x768, ran mostly at 20 - 30 fps, sometimes lower, on a Thinkpad 220 (integrated intel 3000 graphics).
This is what made me decide to build a gaming PC, where the same scene looks like this.

That actually still looks pretty good.
All this reminds me of that horrible wave effect they have near water sources.
They have the waves stop at a certain point. It's the most awful effect ever.
Where? I dont see it personally.

Good lord this looks rough. I remember Witcher 1 running TERRIBLY on my hardware when I played through it the month before Witcher 2 dropped. I think I had 5870's and my 980x?!! That game just didn't give a fuck, excellent RPG though. Loved it.

Minimum settings, no vsync, no AA, render resolution 1280*720.
Here's a max settings shot, with AA and rendered at 2560*1080
Here's the Xbox One version of that same area

You have a lot to learn from Rosti if you really want to play Uglycraft.
Tomb Raider: Underworld for comparison.
I kind of love those nostalgic fire effects
related note, I love low spec gamer

All settings set to lowest including Resolution scaling and Fov.
All settings set to as high as they can be with resolution scaling and Fov at it's lowest.
Technically cheating, but this is the game at it's absolute lowest via the in game settings.

This thread makes me think that if devs were willing to go the extra mile, they could make it so low and medium settings would have a carefully planned aesthetic instead of just being worse looking versions of the highest quality settings.
So imagine that setting a game to low quality would actually make it look like a good looking PS2 game, medium a PS3 game, high is PS4 settings and then have ultra be the one that takes advantage of good rigs.
Of course that would only work for the global quality scale, the games would still have individual options of course.

Lets make a ugly game even more ugly:
Yikes:
Secret PS2 mode? Sure looks like it even though it probably wasn't!
Maybe someday I should disable my GTX 970 and see how much performance I can squeeze out by running everything on low on Intel integrated...

You mean something like this alternate low-poly style for TF2 being a toggle in the options menu?
I honestly would like that. Back with my old PC a setting like that would have been a godsend.
The integrated graphics are actually pretty capable, had to use it when my 970 broke, could play GW2 on mixed medium settings without too much trouble.

Yep, something like that. Even if you aren't able to run new games at their prettiest, the lower quality settings will still look good.

Permabanned.
most games at their lowest settings aren't that bad. maybe it's just me because i've played on consoles all my life. this is why the first thing i set on a PC game is the AA and texture filtering. i can put up with anything else but jaggies/blurred textures are just the worst.
