2013 PC Bullshot thread of "1 FPS? That's 1 screenshot per second"

Fuck, sorry, said I would cut down on posting these but after getting into the game again on hardware that doesn't sound like it's taking off on max settings, this game is amazing.
Would easily be in my top 5 games of the generation if it wasn't for the cutscenes. Rockstar basically wrote the textbook on how to ruin a godly game in 3 easy steps with this one.

ive asked this already but how intesive is this uh tech demo ?
Can it run on a 660 ?
its amazingly detailed but the DOF level is just overkill in there.

I suspect I'll be able to churn out better screens once I get more clothes... cars... locations... etc.

The Sleepy Dawgz screens are fantastic.
The DoF is absolutely a bit much, but it's still gorgeous. I was getting about ~20fps at 4K on a GTX 590. A 660 would be able to run it fine, it still looks good at 1080p.
thanks ,might give it a try.

They'll get better I'm sure. When I have proper time to put into these. Very time consuming to use this free camera, and just going into the menu to turn off the HUD is a huge hassle.
ALSO.... I wish I was the one that got this Dark Souls screenshot. Yikes....

So long as you look at it from an angle that drapes it with light. It's just a big JPG in the sky... and a badly compressed one at that.
War Thunder, with its beautiful volumetric clouds, looks much better I think.

Decided to pop back to Rapture to see how the game held up and was very pleasantly surprised by how good the game still looks. Great art direction and lighting goes such a long way.
I also realized how much I missed some of the utterly insane characters like Dr. Steinman in Bioshock Infinite.

Stunning screenshot. Need to pick up Dark Souls during the low volume Summer season, otherwise I'd struggle for the time.

Sleeping Dogs owners, should I bother with sweetfx or just play it in vanilla mode?
It's such a vibrant game with tremendous AA support so I think that SweetFX is superfluous there, as per par for the course.

Don't mind me. Just here for the music.
Let me put it this way. The perfectionist in me usually has to tweak games a LITTLE bit with SweetFX to get color balance\contrast the way I like it... but Sleeping Dogs has such a nice aesthetic style on top of a technically impressive engine that there's almost nothing I want to tweak. And I get the benefit of posting stuff here. Just using SweetFX for SMAA \ screen capture.

One of the better uses of that wonky DoF cut-off that I've seen

Thanks. My vanity was getting the better of me and no replies got me thinking my images were pants
I'm not sure why there is still some visible aliasing though (Could be due to Patin's resizing perhaps?) - i think it must be an issue with their AA algorithm. That's a screen grab from 3840*2160(*4 again) yet there is still some obvious shimmering.
It easily surpasses GT5's photomode quality, IMO, all whilst being in-game.
I was only joking, my concern lies more to do with whether or not i'm doing it "right" in terms of the thread - if someone says something positive then i guess its a yes.

I will say that Project Cars is posted quite a bit, so it's hard to stand out. And I know for me, there are a lot of great shots posted here that I don't comment on because all I'd have to say is "awesome!" I've posted things here that the ultra-critical Flickr community loved but went unnoticed here... and shots that the Flickr community ignored got a lot of love here. Just post what you like =)
It's quite fascinating when you realize the difference in performance between, albeit by tech standards old console, the ps3 and a modern pc.
Snapping a 3840x2160 'photo' in gt5 took what, literally a full minute for 1 frame? With a good enough pc that 1 frame in PCars can take anything between 16 ms - 33 ms.
Apples and oranges... but still.

That's the awful stage of screenshotting, when you don't get any feedback on a shot you really like or worse, get shouted at for a bad photo. Oh I tried that years ago when I first stepped into the 2010 or 2011 High-Res thread. It scarred me. Eventually you'll get over it and have a more nonchalant attitude of "I know it's a decent shot".
But usually, if you like the shot and not getting any feedback or comments just know that people like the shot but having to comment on everything just gets a bit too circle jerk sometimes.
I tend to only comment when a picture really strikes me, makes it a bit more sincere but that doesn't mean I'm not liking pretty much every picture posted, because I do.

I remember my early days of submitting 1080p screenshots of Skyrim to the DET group because my ENB config was hawt. Hah. I didn't care so much then. I try to remind myself that screenshotting is a hobby, not a job, and I should just enjoy it and do what I like, regardless as to whether or not other people like them.
I still have trouble deciding what to post. Here's all my Sleeping Dogs shots so far on my "image dump" account.

It's an important stage though. You have refined your abilities and risen above the ocean of shit that the other thread falls into all too often.

To take a combat shot the way I'd prefer, I'd have to first set up the camera in the position I want (while enemies are beating me down - yay God mode), get the framing and background, and then HOPE that I can get a cool combat moment within that frame. This is the only one that came out "ok" but... eh.
I've posted a few in the high res thread, but I use that thread for my B-roll shots so I don't care. Even looking at those, I think "Hmmm, why didn't I frame this shot tigher around this area? Oh yeah, because I had to set up the camera before starting combat...."
If I had proper time stop in this game, I'd get perfect combat shots from the angle I want. As it is, I think combat shots mostly come down to luck... and that frustrates me more than it probably should, as there are a lot of awesome moments that would be amazing in screenshots from the right angle but as such... it's impossible to do that.

Try getting good combat shots from multiplayer games. I tell you, it should be an MLG event.

How do you change the resolution? All I can get is 1280x720 even in fullscreen running any resolution over 720p.
Use the Nvidia Control Panel to select 4K as your desktop resolution, launch Rigid Gems, Maximize the Window, press ALT+Enter.
I totally tanked my Black Ops II K/D ratio a few days ago trying to get good HUD-less screenshots in Hardcore multiplayer.
Didn't get a single good one. Thankfully, Sethos and others represented it well enough on the very first page of this thread, so I don't really feel the need to cover it further, nor play it for that matter.

Ahh nice, I was not doing the maximize before ALT+Enter, now it works. Thanks.

Portrait. Woo. I only recently noticed the heat waver coming from the engine. Quite awesome.

PCars is amazing.
I used this as mine for a little while, and old one from NFSMW:
Why would you do it when playing? You have an entire feature that lets you see the matches again with no HUD and even free cam.
I did mess around with that, but I couldn't get the screenshots to work out the way I wanted to. I think there was a UI element I couldn't remove or something. Name plates, I think.
I would go back again and try, but I honestly don't think the game is worth the effort. It looks okay.
