2015 PC Screenshot Thread of the Only Place Where Compression Isn't

Most people wouldn't know that is FF Realm Reborn. It takes two seconds and is actually a rule in this thread to name the game.
I've done nothing but post shots of FFX|V for the last two weeks or so. I'd figure people would be with it by now considering how similar the shots end up looking in many ways. My bad. You are right, I can't expect people to have read every page.

(Sorry 2nd one here is a bit muddier in IQ, I had to crop it narrower if I wanted to get the sun.)
 

how does that setup run in-game? edit: oh I see. Yeah, I can prolly run this. Fuck yeah!

If I could get something like that running at a decent clip on my 970/4790k I'll install it as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning, shit

Yup, though the framerate varies a lot. 60fps generally, but it dips, sometimes to 30-35 at the absolute lowest, in busier areas like the Strip and Freeside, as well as areas created by modders with no consideration for performance (e.g. the Atrium in Project Brazil). Also, I turn off DOF during normal gameplay, but even when it's on, there doesn't seem to be a huge performance impact. Only real performance issue I have is the fact that the framerate tends to degrade over time, but I'm fairly sure this is a symptom of the godawful engine more than anything else.

What kinda equipment are you running this game on? That sounds about how my Fallout 3 ran. I recently got it running at 60fps everywhere in the wasteland besides Arefu (Arefu Expanded chews my FPS the fuck up) but I've got nowhere near as many visual mods as you've got on this.
 
Life is Strange. Art style, man that looks great.

The CA is very non intrusive as well. And makes some kind of logical sense to with how it is functioning as a distortion between the CoC and full on out of focus.

I can't disagree. If it's gonna be used. Might as well do it in a way that actually makes sense in some manner. (Black Desert,TO:1886 for ex)

Also (When you see it...^^^^ I just noticed it randomly and thought 'dafuq lol?")

The order technical has it built into every part to the frame. It is there all the time, not just when you shallow DOF is applied.

Technically though, the game has DOF on the character model at all times, in the distance, and generally has midrange in focus objects being rather unsharp. Nonetheless, not the shallow stuff where you expect to see.
For example in this screen I just took. You can see a slight color shift in the Bokeh shapes and background objects here, but none on anything in the foregrount.

You can also see the lens shape in the bokeh pattern (it spirals toward the middle like a blackhole of sorts).

True, but in TO it's done well in ways that it is incredibly subtle most of the time that i've see. You'd be hard pressed to pick it out at a glance pass in most shots.

And yeah, your screen example here too that makes sense. That's how Black Desert did it too iirc

(Apologies low res. 4xSGSSAA gives even an OC'd 980 a pretty good work out on max settings. It's largely 60FPS at 1080p too but I don't have my 1080p TV set up with the PC at the moment so have been using my 768p set. GPU usage is between 40-70% on average with same settings. Closer to a locked 60 but using a mechanical HDD and a first gen i7 become bottlenecks. And as you can see there is still a bit of rough edges left over. If the UI didn't look so bad when downsampling, i'd use 2x2+2xSGSSAA which looks leagues better for similar performance)

BTW, you used to have 570s (1x, 2x?) right? When did you upgrade to the 980?

And you would be surprised, my eyes have an uncanny ability to notice any and everything :D (especially CA).
 
Those Obvlivion shots impressed me more than most stuff from Skyrim posted lately.

Get them out of those thumbnails. They deserve to be seen in full view. Also, they deserve to have the hud hidden.
 
All that jagginess makes it look like a Wii U game. How's the actual game though? I heard it was supposed to be one of the better Sonic titles.

For me, it's one of the better games in the series as well as recent memory. I may try and experiment with mastereffect, maybe that will get help get rid of the jaggies.
 
MasterEffect's SMAA did wonders for Sonic Adventure 2 so def give that a shot

Turns out that none of those mods were enabled till now.

Edit: I don't think I'm going to try and get it to work. Despite it looking great, jumping through all these hoops to get it to work isn't really something I want to do.

Yeah, I had 1 570. I noticed it was having a strange issue with heat where load temps were getting increasingly higher and higher. So I figured it was time to clean it out and change the TIM. When I took it apart, I noticed a small chip in the heatsink. Then I saw one on the actual GPU chip. After I cleaned it and started using it again, temps were reaching up to 103c (o.o) and throttling was occurring. So I undervolted/underclocked the card enough just for basic usage and didn't do anything for a while.

I didn't want to buy a 980 so soon in hopes of a slightly better GPU coming out. But I caved in and bought one. An ASUS 980 Strix. Which is amazingly well cooled. Top temp i've hit is like 67c or so. Idling with the fans off completely is also aces. I hated GPU Boost though and had stability problems like many others when OC'd because of the voltage drops. Also too many low usage scenarios where it would not boost at all. So I modded the BIOS to set ~1500Mhz flat without GPU boost at all. While still being able to clock down when idling.


Also:
I literally don't know if i'm doing this right but I liked this environment a lot

Very right! love it.

I'm on a GTX 770 2GB, i7 4770K and 16GB RAM. So you'd almost definitely run this setup well lol. And yeah, modder-created locations do tend to fuck up your framerate. The third chapter of Tales From The Burning Sands introduces a new worldspace that chugs like a motherfucker.
