Archive Thread of Screenshots of Ridunkulous Quality and Size [2007-2015]

Crysis, first screenshot came out wrong since I messed something up when I printscreened it into paint so I had to cut some corners. The rest came out correct, enjoy!

EDIT: Just incase, untouched native 100% ingame play screenshots for all (3 of the screens had bad borders which I cut offso they are a little bit smaller but not resized).

EDIT: Doh messed the first 2 ones in this post to, fixed now!

Some more images from the other batch I didn't include becouse of the borders going wrong when pasting image from printscreen buffer to Paint (Paints fault).

Enjoy!

Very nice screens . What are the setttings ?

Thanks!

For starters I have Nvidia driver "hack" setting to force Negative LOD bias to -1.0 for all games (I have CRT, CRT monitor FTW!). Makes them look sharper with minimal to no pixel crawling. Then I have the Nvidia driver settigns to HQ.

As for the game the base is very high settings under DX9 + custom autoexec file settings.

I think I will tweak the SSAO darkening a bit but i am satisfied with this new config I made. It is the one I use to play with now, all my screenshots always has the latest settings config I play with no matter what game.

EDIT: BTW this are the settings used for all of the above screenshots in this page.

The change of the LOD is in the control panel of NV, or is other method ?

The change of the LOD is in the control panel of NV, or is other method ?

Manually thruogh registry or by use of RivaTuner D3D Negative texture LOD bias settings slider. Also note you have to set the global or presets for each game to allow negative LOD bias

For registry it is the following for WinXP,

Location: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\(the subkey which has all the profile settings and D3D OpenGL settings keys)\0000

Key Type: (Reg_binary)

Key: D3D_88481200

Values: FC FF FF FF (this is -0.5 value)
             FA FF FF FF (this is -0.8 value)
                  F8 FF FF FF (this is -1.0 value)

Now I dont know how if it is the same under Vista but i believe the location is same and the key same to. :smile:

Thanks

Far Crysis 2

Cheers Galduta, I wish Far Cry 2 would have used CryEngine2!

This is the continuation of the previous screenshot galore of native 100% ingame play screenshot of Crysis. Now somebody bring some pork chops to the hotel and some oranges and bananas for the smoothies.... rofl ^^

Some absolutely incredible screenshots there guys! I can't wait to play this game on GT200

 

[Galduta]

better GT 200 x 2 in a SLI

better GT 200 x 2 in a SLI

Imagine to play this game with those settings at 1920*1200p at 60fps!

*starts to fill piggy bank with coins*

And Crytek or Nvidia, AA + foliage Edge AA together compability thank you, I still see some jaggies!

 

[pjbliverpool]

better GT 200 x 2 in a SLI

I'll be lucky if I can afford 1x the GT version
