The Guru3D Screenshot Thread - The last stand (RTFM!) #12

^ That's Prey, before anyone asks. Cool game but changing the gravity made me feel sick..

EDIT: here's some l4d2 and cod:mw2 massacre.

 

Re-playing Mass Effect before the 2nd comes out...

 

Not to play an armchair mod and being a privately owned site, they can set any rule they want, but I see providing proof of purchase as borderline invasion of privacy tbh, I know I would never submit to that. But yeah, whatever, sorry, back to awesome screenshots

 

"No Russian..."

"You're only allowed to walk, no rushin'." :nerd:

 

nice shots folks

 

Nice screenshots! Good to see some combat sims. Never played that game, but used to play IL-2 Sturmovik with some cheap joystick. Perhaps might have enjoyed it more if I had had more skill and better joystick...

Shame I sold my... I think it was Logitech attack3?. Damn, would have liked to try that game

 

Finally got my 2nd XFX GTX 260 Black Edition....so I am playing with SLI

Clear Sky 1 GTX 260 at 1920 X 1080 NO AA 16AF


2 GTX 260 in SLI at 1920 X 1080 NO AA 16AF


2 GTX 260 in SLI at 1920 X 1080 2AA 16AF


It scales well....but AA is killer

Batman Arkham Asylum does not use SLI well, but with 1 GTX 260 and the other GTX 260 for PhysX it works rather well.

1920 X 1080 4AA 16AF All in game settings set to highest setting possible and the PhysX set to the highest setting possible


Still testing other games to see how they scale and to see if this SLI is worth it.

 

Mass Effect 2 Goodness! ***SPOILER ALERT***

***SPOILER ALERT***

This game's graphics & animation are incredible. A must buy. These are 1920x1080 maxed without forced AA, for some reason when I force AA, I now get black pictures w/ EVGA Precision. Oh well. The image resize doesn't do it justice.

 

Do you have film grain turned on? These screens look grainy and overly dark. It's disappointing that Bioware didn't provide a decent amount of graphics options for ME2.

 

bring on the mass effect 2 pirates!

 

Mass Effect 2 - more stuff *here*




Oh and some older stuff:

Far Cry

[ 1.920 x 1.200 / 32xS + 16:1 AF / AGM + ECU + tweaked CFG ]

 

Pretty much, yeah. We obviously can't prove most of the time if someone has a legit copy or not, but in this case, seeing as the game isn't released anywhere then it's pretty obvious. Unfortunately we have to rely on people with illegally downloaded early copies to show some courtesy to other members and not post screens. No more ME2 shots until the commercial release please guys.

 

sorry to ask here

is ms2 a dx 10 title

ty

 

No, its a DX9 title. But its UE3, so you can force DX10 with ini-file. But there are no benefits or improvements.

 

not again bioware

damn consoles

ty very much

 

Yes I have the film grain enabled. The thing is it doesn't look nearly that dark when playing it. I'm happy with the graphics & performance, considering what engine it's using, it looks very good.

 

definitely gonna be buying ME2.. the first was so sick I'm sure 2 will be even better. Unlike MW.. *cough*

 

I can't name - names, but it's not an illegal copy if you purchased legally. It just depends on who you know. I'm guessing that's how the illegal copies get out early as well. I don't see how posting early screen shots is harmful. If the game is great, such as ME2, then it will stand on it's own merit. IMHO it can only help to see real screen shots from fellow gamers. But as requested I won't post anymore. It's just a shame that someone affiliated with one of my favorite sites assumes the worst of people. When Guru3D reviews a product early I don't assume they got it in a nefarious way. I assume they know the correct person & follow a legal avenue.

 

Regardless of where you got it from, posting screens of a game before it's released can ruin it for other members. If you bought it from someone before the release date then that game was sold to you illegally. But this is going off topic, back to screenshots.
