WAIT, THERE HE IS, OUR ENEMY EZIO AUDI...

no wait, that's just some guy sitting on a bench. nothing to see here, move along.

people posting skyrim pics really need to do something about the foilage.

either use transparency multisampling, downsample the images or use a FXAA/SMAA injector, the IQ on the ones without these look like shit.

Learn from x3sphere, and L0st Id3ntity

 

[decyx]

Tried it out, ME2 keeps crashing whenever I load it through texmod :/

Do you have ME2 on Steam?

 

[Jtrizzy]

Is it me, or is there was a pretty large jump from AC:B to Revelations?

The SSAO and such makes Brotherhood look marvelous. And the beautiful textures. The lighting in general is loads better.

4xMSAA + 8x transparency supersampling here. Not much else I can do.

 

[Jtrizzy]

Yeah I have Revelations and it looks awesome...looking at those Brotherhood shots there really seems to be a big jump.

Brotherhood looks pretty lifeless in those shots. They looked good when I took them

not to nitpick, but what's with the red and blue around the guy on the right?

In K&L2? The game uses a bunch of filters and effects to simulate visuals being 'filmed' through a handy cam, as if someone is following the characters around documenting their actions. Thus it has plenty of effects that look like video and colour artefacts, etc.

The game is supposed to be simulating a web stream, complete with YouTube-like "buffering" symbols and everything. It's intentional.

EDIT: And I'm beaten, so I'll just say I hate it.

it's supposed to look like it was filmed with a shitty handheld cam

edit - dammit how did that happen

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

So, how much of a performance hit does ENB on Skyrim give you? What kind of rig do i need to get those visuals at a playable framerate, x3sphere?

 

[SmokyDave]

I absolutely love the look of K&L2 in parts, especially in motion.

Agreed, I dig the look, stills don't do it justice. It's like a Michael Mann shootout filmed with a cell phone camera. I wish more games would go for such a bold visual style. The game itself is average at best but it's worth playing just for the unique presentation.

OK, what is this and how did you do it? Is it Morroblivion? Looks better than I imagined.

How's performance?

 

[Andrea23]

How's performance?

The performances are great, no doubt.

Wide scalability and, if desired, there is an automated installation process with several presets.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Can you mod that into the Steam version? I am so going to do that once I get it on Steam.

 

[dave_m123]

Wow that looks great :O Impressed!!

Absolutely : ).

PROTIP: read the hyper-exhaustive (really : ) ) readme.

 

[EatChildren]

Morrowind Overhaul has god rays. Skyrim does not.

Goddamn you Bethesda.

 

[Andrea23]

With the latest release of MGE i also noticed a per-pixel lighting effect, applied on some textures : 0.

Maybe that in the next months we'll see the "landing" of parallax mapping on the isle of Vvardenfell... : 0.

i started playing that game. it has pretty good graphics

I've got a i7 920 @ 3.5ghz and HD7970 clocked at 1075/1400

In those screens I was running 2560x1600 at 2xSSAA. Gives me a stable 30 FPS, sometimes dips but very rarely. Once I get around to clocking this card at 1200MHz core it should solve that. Performance is double at the same settings with ENB off, so a pretty drastic hit FPS wise.

And some numbers and specs, please? :>

You think the first can? LOL

Well, actually that first photo isn't that far off from what's possible now on high-end PCs... Second one is some (tens) of years away though.

Batman looking at things in DX9 at 1600*1200:

My first time post in this thread, so tell me if I'm doing it wrong

Also, is there any particular spoiler policy here? Have some nice shots of boss fights

yep, dont post shots with spoilers in them, especially for new, story based games like arkham

 

[Dmax3901]

Do you have ME2 on Steam?

No it's not the Steam version.

Also Lost Identity, what ENB are you using?

 

[hlhbk]

Man after looking at these shots I have no idea why people think ENB brings anything to the table for Skyrim. Vanilla looks better imo. ENB oversaturates the world and makes it lose the feel that Bethesda was going for. Not to mention the performance hit just isn't worth it.

I agree. I think certain ENB configs can look good in very specific areas/times of day, but 95% of the ENB screens I've seen feel like some kind of unholy eye fucking (kinda like that Crysis 2 Blackfire mod ;P)

I'm not entirely sure if there really was a feel Bethesda was going for, or if it was merely PS360 limitation filters all over the place. Meh, I didn't feel it.

With so many variations of ENB sure you can easily mess things up, I'm probably a culprit of that myself in some shots I post.

You are right about the performance hit being not worth it right now, as ENB is still not optimized, but personally I do not receive a big hit on my machine. Right now I'm too happy with my combination of FXAA Injector/ENB HD6 to ever go back to vanilla, though I'm sure my current results will not be amazing in a month or two, when better optimized/modified enb is out, but vanilla will always remain awfully washed out and uninteresting imo.

Also Lost Identity, what ENB are you using?

Anyway a couple of night shots:

 

[Dmax3901]

Just tried the cinematic ENB out, it's probably the one I've liked most so far. Still hits my fps in the balls though.
