That's odd. You know, I never thought to try Warhead... I don't know why, but I'll try it tonight anyway just to see.
So we're pretty much running the same settings I guess. I'm afraid I can't use that SSAA tool - I'm one of those evil bastards still running XP.
Interesting. So this works fine for you ingame? I've found that if I take tiled screenshots while playing normally, they come out all distorted (common problem I've seen all over the net), but if taken from within the editor, they come out just fine. *edit* Hang on, e_screenshot 2? 2's for 'panoramic' or something right? Does that actually work properly, instead of the broken looking e_screenshot 1? I just read somewhere else that apparently doing e_screenshot 2, THEN e_screenshot 1 will give you an unbroken image.. As if doing '2' first kinda resets where the tiled shots are taken from (because, you know, the broken tiled images simply look like the game did it right but put the individual shots back together in the wrong order). I'll definitely have a play with this tonight too!
The funny thing is, I do recall using that tiled screenshot command ingame just after release, though that would have been with version 1.0 of the game. Wierd.
Sorry for turning the thread into a Crysis discussion

X3: Terran Conflict
Uh oh, I've picked up X again...
I caught a glimpse of the Terrans' beautiful Osaka class carrier in the Venus sector, had to take some shots. I will own one of these.... when I earn the 100M+ credits it takes to buy one and keep it running. =)
From a distance (on the left). That is a super huge gigantic enormous Terran station on the right.
Coming up on it
Approaching its belly
It is a very long ship (~2.3km)
The hangar bay with a nice reflection of Venus
It flies off into the blackness
Sense of scale is sometimes hard to determine in this game without a point of reference; nothing like flying around a 30km+ station in your scout fighter to make you feel small and insignificant. =D

Wow ! ZTHe NFS:SHIFT screens are absolutely gorgeous ! I had tried the demo, liked it too, but apparently forgot about the game due to the overwhelmeing no. of games that are released these days and also my new work takes up 90% of my day !
I seriously need to get this, I need something other than Crysis to ogle at !

Thanks.. I'm being a bit frugal here so I'll just buy the original Arma2 on Steam since that is still on sale, €30 for an expansion for a game I don't know yet.. that's a bit too steep.
It's great game. Be sure to check this mod page for Arma 2.

EDIT: I had all the official patches installed + beta patch that comes with great optimisations especially for my 64bit system/OS. Stupid me didn't read the readme so I never ran with beta optimisations becouse I need to re-link shortcut to beta patch exe! dooh!
Some more screenshots. 1440x900 with realtime SSAA (1920x1200, 2xMSAA/TSAA), 16xAF, max settings bar terrain detail draw distance of 3km.

Well Arrowhead has parts of the latest optimisations from Arma 2 official patch. Though there where some tweaks left out due to lack of time which are in beta that according to readme works with Steam (beta plugin is like a mod, easy to install easy to remove). Just make sure to run it from the newly created beta shortcut in games folder.
About draw distance I barely have any perfomance difference going from ~900 to 3000m. Real perfomance killers are MSAA + higher settings on post processing and also SSAA. That review must have run some strange version or something becosue not even the Arma 2 demo ran bad with 3km and very high settings. Also love how you can see lots of lights kilometers away, makes night missions amazing seeing an APC 1-2km away lit up with its lights! ^^
Though reminds me that first OP had 900m max and with expansion it allowed 5km.. so beathiful it was but what a perfomance killer back in 2001/2002!
