The Guru3D Screenshot Thread - RTFM! #20 (Rules update!)

SSAO is that. The very first and most basic implementation of it years ago was that. It just takes the depth map of the view and computes occlusion based on that. Nothing more. It's not a poor implementation or anything, it just is what it is. HBAO is better, and I believe the third option is even more advanced and more physically accurate.

 

Typical ubisoft using silly tricks instead of hiring real artists

 

ubisoft should go bankrupt not THQ.. God! what a horible company.

 

...you people are dumb ****s.

Horrible textures in FC3.
It´s not bad looking but i missed the days when FC1 or Crysis 1 screenshots awed everyone.

Nowadays almost every game, despite some of them "look good", are just "nice".

Sorry, nostalgia hitting.

You mean when everyone screamed games were unoptimised all the time?

 

Are you calling Far Cry 3 optimized? It runs like **** AND looks "ok" at best. Seriously though... better looking terrain textures would do this game a WORLD of good. They look kinda meh, and LOD degrades over a shockingly short distance.

they didn't drop your wallet in a fish tank to deserve such an uncalled for reaction.

remember, respect opinions without calling people names, it works well in forums and in real life too, trust me.

haha yeah i remember the actor, nice one

 

Textures could have been a lot better,( in reality it depend the places, some rocks are far too be good, some have good textures ). anyway, the movement on many screen taken by the in game screenshots feature can induct a lot of blur on the back scene. Add to this even more blur if you are taken the image when you are yourself doing a fast move ( moving head or run )..

 

I know it's not super impressive, but I actually like the clean, simple look of FC3.

 

FarCry 3

with FC3, Hitman, AC3, Dishonored and a few other games, i can't seem to decide which one's Goty.. yet. :eyebrows: FC3 certainly ranks high in my list.

 

That's some really messed up AO :3eyes:

 

I said as much but got called an idiot or some such. It's so poorly implemented in this game...

Anyways.... here's some screenshots. May as well join the Far Cry 3 bandwagon. The full view of these look a lot better. Flickr likes to apply sharpening to its downsized images.... ugh.

2160p, SweetFX, no-hud (hex edit), SSAO DISABLED

 

Almost makes me wonder if disabling in game AO and enabling it through drivers with various AO compatibility bits will be an improvement?

 

I was about to say they looked very sharp, nearly too sharp but the vegetation is pretty interesting with that effect though if using so much sharpening while playing the game there would likely be a lot of shimmering.
(Particularly the last image stands out due to this effect and downsampling makes the others look very detailed.)

EDIT: Wouldn't HDAO make it far less noticeable without disabling the effect?

EDIT: TESV












(Reflections are pretty interesting but it makes a lot of stuff very shiny, like my characters ass for some reason.)

 

Yeah that 2nd image looks kinda meh in the smaller view. I'm not using any sharpening in the actual game though, as there is no need to compensate for any AA @_@

I don't think you can enable that in DX9?

 

Ah right I forgot about the DX11 issue with injectors like SweetFX or even the basic SMAA or FXAA ones, I've seen reports of people saying it worked via RadeonPro though but I've not tried it myself so it could just be that they were using DX9 too.
(Since it's just that injector effect it should work on all hardware but I'm just guessing, haven't tried it myself even.)

EDIT: Yeah it works with RadeonPro, didn't know it was limited to DX9 on Nvidia though but I decided to try for myself and it seems to have taken.

EDIT: Now that looks nice, I really need to try some of the newly updated ENB profiles for Skyrim.
