They remade Hamsiks ugliness pretty well in Fifa.
The screen is a 720p HDTV, I don't know how much I can downsample, though 1440p...
By the way, does SweetFX improve AA?
That first picture looks oddly grainy.

How is RadeonPro able to differentiate between where to use FXAA and SMAA in order to achieve optimal results, without being detrimental to overall image quality/performance?

It doesn't.
Pick one or the other. They're not meant to be used in tandem. FXAA for if reducing aliasing is more important to you than clarity of image, SMAA otherwise. FXAA + lumasharpen (in the SweetFX suite) can work just as well. There's no reason to switch between the two.
SMAA is far better for not creating blurry-as-shit IQ than FXAA IMO. FXAA is orright if you're downsampling though. But FXAA and sharpening probably wouldn't look that crash hot as you're sharpening something that's already been blurred out (again, IMO).
Some ME1 nostalgia.
This is fucking sick... *reinstalls ME1*

It really is a shame that the pulled out planet exploration after the first. It really was the best thing about Mass Effect.
If we're talking just about screenshots, yeah. The planet exploration was pretty awful in practice.

Spec Ops, what a fantastic game. So unique and refreshing. Gf and I played a lot of this together, twas fantastic!
So I bought GTA 4 in the Steam Sale yesterday and modding that game is.... strange.
This is the first time a texture pack that imo looks better than vanilla gave me a 10fps increase õ_o
And then you have to fear strange things like that taxi-bug (which made me stay away from car mesh and density mods).
Well thanks to that texture pack I can now enjoy the game with an average of 30-40fps.
Took those screens without AA but changed to 1xSMAA since then, still horrible bit I cant go higher.
This is also the first game in wich I enjoy the "black bars", fits it really well.

How exactly? Skip past it if you don't like it. All it takes is a roll of your mouse wheel.

Jizz in my pants, especially the second shot. I hope that on the next gen hardware, Bioware can be competent enough to make breathtaking dynamic sky boxes (a mix of Skyrim and ME1).

Which ENB are you using? I can't find a good preset that I like. Care to post your current modlist?
10/10 avatar, btw.
Those character textures are so ridiculous. Looks like their skin has been sprayed with water and glitter.

These two shots totally encapsulate why Mass Effect 1 is better than either of the sequels.

Dont make me reinstall mass effect 1. I never even beat two and did not buy 3. I was that disappointed...
I love those random explore things. I also love the mako

Why improve things when you can just cut out everything cool and make a corridor shoot-bang?

They have
Using the Fair skin complexion and Sweaty body.
I never used it before for obvious reasons, but I decided to do mods I'd never use this time. I actually ended up likeing them. In certain light it's hard to see, but in caves and such it makes some more sense.
Some ME1 nostalgia.
Those are absolutely MAGNIFICENT.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination

Mass Effect 1 is amazing, it's not some rosetinted glasses - I'm well aware that from a gameplay perspective they definitely improved on it in ME2 ( haven't played 3, can't pay me to play that ) but shockingly I never played ME for the gameplay.
Yup. The tone of the series is pretty much on par with the evolution of the soundtrack.
From:
this or this
to this
and finally to this complete turn-around from the ambience of ME1
I can just imagine Bioware telling Jack Wall in ME2 and Sam Hulick in ME2/3: "The music needs to be more EPIC!!"
If you noticed in the Third game, it's like they hired JJ Abrams or Michael Bay for the cinematography. The music reflects a movie rather than a game or an aesthetic
YOU SIR, ARE AWESOME!
Listening to "Vigil" and looking at those two screenshots at the same time gave me the most awesome goosebumps I've EVER had!
There's a better piece of the score than Vigil and sadly I've never been able to recall it. It isn't even an entire piece unto itself, but it gave the most classic sci-fi vibes of any game ever. I guess I've got an excuse now to play the game again...
