I remember trying to install a Devil May Cry 4 benchmark on my old Athlon system...

It wouldn't even let me install it. CPU instruction set too limited!

I think I have that around somewhere, if not I´ll download it again. In the mean time, I took some pics of the Street Fighter IV benchmark. Too bad it won´t let you choose graphic detail for the backgrounds, it is either off or high. Character models remind me of the 3DS version.

Lots of people posting 1280x1024 screens instead of 1024x768. Perhaps the 4:3 requirement should be changed to 1280 so that a uniformity is reached.

EDIT: Hmm, the text for the ammo and such looks fine, so... does the game actually render the 3D stuff at a lower res and then scale it up to native, like some kind of ultra-low-res mode, or what's going on here?

It's a mode where you render at HALF the res you set then upscales but the adds the HUD.

Looks like shit and make the game almost unplayable.

 

[Disorientator]

You win man.

 

[RoadHazard]

It's an option, I believe. Double pixel it's called? I think?

It's a mode where you render at HALF the res you set then upscales but the adds the HUD.

Looks like shit and make the game almost unplayable.

Ok, thanks. Figured it was something like that.

 

[Metal-Geo]

Clearly only visible in motion; but a lot of stuff pops in when you're only a few feet away from them.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

This thread is weird, because the worse a game looks like in screens probably means a better job was done porting it, by making it more scalable and optimising for a wider spectrum of machines.

this;

for example, couldn't give a shit.

 

[Flunkie]

haha, that first shot of Batman

 

[dummydecoy]

It'd be nice if you guys can post both the highest and lowest settings of the same image for comparison purposes.

A while back I went into the console of Half life 2 and dropped every setting as far as it could go.

It looked like what I would imagine Half Life 2 would look like on the DS. I even rendered it out to a Youtube video at DS resolution.

Source engine forced into 265x192 resolution (Same as DS)

On the Africa stage.

I think this thread is a lot of fun. Will try out more later.

Holy crap AC looks dreadful on low.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Computron, that is awesome.

 

[Thraktor]

Holy crap AC looks dreadful on low.

Plus there's some horrendous pop-in.

 

[-BLITZ-]

I don't think that I will ever betray New Vegas, Borderlans, Far Cry, Max Payne and Half-Life 2 to play them in such conditions. Is too much for me, they don't deserve to played like that, but I would love to see some STALKER series in this thread since I don't have them anymore because I played them few weeks back. I know how strange the series can look at low settings, especially Call Of Pripyat.

 

[Warm Machine]

Holy crap AC looks dreadful on low.

Actually, it is very revealing how the game was made and how the lighting technology works. If someone were to take screenshots at all the various detail levels you could see how all of the visuals composite together to form the high detail end product.

 

[Computron]

Holy crap AC looks dreadful on low.

Looks like it would make a fine PSP game if they baked lighting into the verts.

 

[Little Old Man]

The samey colours and lack of shadows in AC....holy bugger the image has no depth to it!

 

[Thraktor]

 

[Owensboro]

I wish I had the space on my hard drive to install Supreme Commander and try out the lowest settings.

 

[Thraktor]

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Oh God this looks like shit. Maybe if I turn the lamp on...

OHGODNOOOOOOO

 

[NO_Quarter25]

lol i might be able to play through Amnesia now

 

[Snuggles]

Alright, I'm in. This may have been done already, but I don't feel like searching the whole thread.

This is probably what the Wii version looks like. It hurt my eyes.

 

[ezodagrom]

Assassin's Creed Revelations:

And on high settings for comparison:

[Xander51]

This is a clever idea for a thread! I'm really enjoying it so far.

 

[MNC]

Welcome to how I played games in 2007

 

[dLMN8R]

Serious Sam 3 looks...rather bad.

Just FYI, Serious Sam 3 does the same thing as Modern Warfare 3, providing an option to have a different rendering resolution than display resolution. Go into customization for performance options and make sure that the appropriate option is set to "max" or something so that you at least get native resolution.

 

[Htown]

I used to play games on a laptop with a GeForce Go 6150 at around the start of the generation.

Some of this shit looks real familiar.

 

[BHK3]

Dota 2

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Assassins Creed 1 looks absolutely horrible on low.

Revelations on the other hand looks quite good.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Goddam someone beat Snuggler to the Witcher shots.

 

[Blizzard]

That NAME sounds familiar, my crappy laptop had like 1GHz, 1GB RAM I think? Shared memory with a GeForce Go of some sort perhaps.

[Rapstah]

It'd be nice if you guys can post both the highest and lowest settings of the same image for comparison purposes.

If I'm taking low settings screenshots, the device I'm doing it on typically won't run higher than that. I suspect this is the case for a lot of these shots.

EDIT: Wow, Witcher looks like Morrowind with a high-res pack!

EDIT 2: And once again, people, good-looking games looking like shit on their lowest settings is always a good thing if it makes them be able to run on ultra-low specs.

Devil may Cry 4 Benchmark

Please forgive my print screen skills :'(

 

[Computron]

Alright, I searched "skyrim on netbook" and this is what I got: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...kRzxpPxzJXZ00ZRjQ&sig2=NQJZCMRKK9D-hxyTqfqvdg

DA FUCK? At that point, why bother?

LOL:

 

[cooljeanius]

Great idea, should give me a better idea of what games will actually look like when played on my laptop.

That's about what it looked like when I played it.

Crysis 2 is the exception to that rule.

[nexen]

The MMO ones are super interesting to me because those things have to play on the widest range of hardware.

 

[Nelo Ice]

So now I know what it's look for my 90% of my friends/family who play laptops or netbooks lol.

 

[Aguirre]

some of these games would be acceptable if not for the horrible aliasing. it just butchers any kind of art direction and atmosphere.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Looks like a pre-alpha build. wat da fuq

Oh God this looks like shit. Maybe if I turn the lamp on...

OHGODNOOOOOOO

lmfao

Bravo.
