Which monitor is it? I was thinking about upgrading Videocard and Monitor in the New Year.

I think he used a modded BIOS on his Titan's to reach that res. Have you searched for a modded BIOS for GTX 6xx ? Don't even know if they exist, all I've seen are BIOS for 7xx series and mobile GPUs.
I think he got a QNIX 1440p monitor.
And I'm in the same boat... my 1200p monitor+single GTX 670 is not enough for me anymore... I'm probably gonna wait for a 4K IPS G-Sync monitor (a guy can dream
) and see what kind of GPU is out by that time.jim2point0

I found him on Steam. He didn't say anything about a modded bios. All he said he did was replace the default DVI-D cable and used the one from his Dell monitor. Did 5120x2880 @ 30hz with no tweaking (which would be perfect for me - I can make that work for my purposes).
I dunno. I may look into it a bit more but I suspect a lot of the bios modding and whatnot would go way over my head if I started looking into that.
What do you mean by crap downsampler? Looks bad or just isn't capable of reaching those higher resolutions?
I'm assuming you've tweaked the timings on the stuff yeah?

By crap downsampler, I mean out of the box, it won't accept any resolution I throw at it. I've tweaked timings but it just doens't like anything.
The only custom resolution I've achieved is 3840x2160 @ 55hz (which most games don't recognize).
Folks out there who say 2560x1440 native needs very little AA do not have a discerning eye... that's for certain.
Woah, what's going on there? I dig it.

No mods. The hud is actually missing in the first shot because it's in the first few minutes of the game.
I understand that the game has some mods related to the DOOM3 mods as well. I might look into those.
PREY looks amazing as it is, though. Player models need a bit of help, but otherwise...

Agreed, even though I use a 1440p monitor I would still love to have this.

An oldie, Mirrors Edge 2560x1440 4xAA down sampled. Not keen on the game but the art style rocks.

If Sikkmod used in Prey was the same as in Doom³ it would look amazing ,it futures high quality SSAO/HBAO, motion blur, DOF, Soft Shadows, Particle effects and many more
.Prey has only Bloom/HDR , Color grading, and some other things much like with Quake IVDoom³ with Sikkmod+textures is still very demanding & looks gorgeous

This Spartan guy.... he deserves a medal.
Got 4K showing up in games now finally on my QNIX. No EDID hacking required. Just some CRU trickery.
One3rd... you should add some of your Deadliest Warrior screenshots to Steam. They take ones they like and add them to the official store page screenshots (they asked me first). They asked me to do some from Deadliest Warrior as well but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

That's cool, thanks for the info.

And these are more recent.
Tier 4 cars are difficult to handle
GRID2, 3840x2160, cropped black bars, Resized to 1080p.
The building looks fantastic for saying it's a background graphic. Will be trying this game from seeing these pics.

People used to say the same thing about 1080p remember?
And people are saying the same about 4k now too.

Custom resolution utility.
There's a wealth of good information on this monitor in this post.

I never bought the 1080p crap. And with 4K I can definitely see it when downsampling. Some games are worse than others. Especially now that we're throwing even more detail into each scene and shaders are getting more complex.
Those look sweet, maybe I need to break out my Prey CD's from storage this holiday!If Sikkmod used in Prey was the same as in Doom³ it would look amazing ,it futures high quality SSAO/HBAO, motion blur, DOF, Soft Shadows, Particle effects and many more

I thought I recognized those shots! Thanks for the heads-up, I saw the thread about this on the community page a couple days ago and started to add some to Steam...the added steps needed to do this is a pain though. There should be an easier way to upload shots to the Community that weren't taken as lossy JPEG.

Yeah I didn't either. I can see when downsampling that 4k might actually be the case. But downsampling and native display are different things unfortunately.

In this instances they are the same thing. 4K displays like apples "retina" displays have far higher pixel density than the average display. This naturally downsamples the image by having the display put out far more data than the human eye can distinguish from a much closer distances than the average 1080p monitor. It should even be better than downsampling in some instances as there are actual pixels for the image to map to.

I feel you, bro.
When I couldn't Properly Downsample, I just felt like not doing anything...
For some reason it takes a few days for my PC to really recognise the source and allow proper Downsampling, so I got back in.
Wow, thanks. It is a great game, but I'm kind of losing interest in the last season. The same happened with the first Grid too. Cars just became rockets. I enjoy the balanced cars of the DiRT series more. I will probably still take more screens from it though. Also I've been only using the replay function to take shots and I feel it is somehow a tad worse than DiRT3, but that might be just me.
Still, I preordered the game and enjoyed the earlier season immensively and the online was fun too.
^ Nice!

Thanks . just wished Neo releases his cheat engine table for it .
Even if the controls are so horrible that they make me want to throw my keyboard through the window i would like to try it .

This shot seems oddly blurred. Any FXAA or something?

This game is fun as hell.
Yep that's definitely it! It's weird that the motion blur adds blur to your vehicle as well.

That's a such a badass shot, would look even more awesome with some contrast and desaturation, pity about the banding however, only cure for banding I can really think of is noise/film grain although I'm one of the very few people who actually like grain.
Thanks. You might be right about the tweaks. I liked the lighting in this scene with the smoke and took the shot in 3200x1800 with SweetFX for SMAA. Knew that there would be banding issues with the smoke and alt-tab out to make some tweaks..and the game crashes! I also took a tiledshot of this same scene but the back lighting is completely gone making the image look too flat and it still has banding.
Hopefully I can create a similar scene and try it again with some SweetFX magic applied! Wish I could render above 3200x1800 but can't seem to get it to play nice with SoftTH.

I was going to ask you about that. I couldn't get it to work with SoftTH either. Which is weird because it's the only UE3 game I have trouble with. Frustrating because I really don't like UE3's tiledshot. It kills too many effects in a lot of games. I tried a Tiledshot in Chivlary where these cool sunrays were shining through the scene. They were completely gone from the tiledshot
