After spending countless hours playing with different ENB I decided to challenge myself :
Make Skyrim look amazing without using an ENB .
Only mods And ini files settings .
You can be the judge of whether it looks nice or not .
Try sweet FX to make the game look good.

From SweetFX.
It's actually pretty subtle, thanks for not overblowing it a ton at least.
Nothing to compare there! It's downsampled to 2560x1280 and no corrections were made in any way except "using durante's tool to downsample the image from 8k!!!
I love these, especially the second one. The more I look at it, the more I like it. What res?

How do you not understand this? 2560x1280 is not a 16:9 resolution.
Why the 2:1 aspect ratio? Makes no sense.

His screens dont' look stretched to me.
DS3 is Hor+, there shouldn't be an issue. (I'm not familiar with DS3, but it doesn't look obviously stretched, and since the game is Hor+ it shouldn't be an issue as far as I know)
If you are trying to downsample to a 21:9 resolution (Base resolution being something like 2560x1080) Then you need to be multiplying by each factor evenly.
1.5x1.5 = 3840x1620

Nice. That almost makes me want to pick it up. Almost.

Compared my aspect ratio fixed shot with the original.

After A-B'ing it. I can see it now. Though it is rather mild compared to stretching 4:3 to 16:9.
Definitely can agree with your points on it.

Daylight is out and thank god there's a way you can disable that putrid CA.

PPAA to High seems to actually use their Temporal AA.
It's super blurry even for my standards (I'm usually the guy defending the minor blur SGSSAA has), and totally misses some completely basic aliasing as expected.
But for the performance hit (Which for me is very very little) it's not bad
Downsampling doesn't seem to work from in game. Probably need to set desktop resolution like in other UE4 material so far
Edit: Figured out downsampling(Just set resolution. Apply and restart), it fixes the blurring issue. But it doesn't help with the same aliasing it misses at native resolution...at all.
Even odder, is that the game Scales certain images/UI elements by resolution... and this game is obviously designed around the PS4. There isn't even really true 360 support yet.
Can't get any downsampled shots because. A.) Print Screen capture = black screen. B.)FRAPS crashes the game. C.) Afterburner doesn't work with the Nvidia effects enabled. D.) i'm getting literally only 10FPS on my 570 at 1800p

It's an indie game.

No its not, an Independant developer =/= an indie game. Its just a bad game from a bad studio that more people are gonna own than deserve to because it came bundled with Nvidia Cards, and now were all sour that we bought these cards in the last week or so right before they said get Watch_dogs instead........im not sour.....

Honestly it does in terms of some of the Asset Quality (depending on what you are looking at). But overall I think it looks very nice. Somewhat stylized over photo realisim/PBR/IBL. (The Nvidia gameworks effects used look very nice too. PhysX/HBAO+/NVDOF)
I'm just glad I can enjoy the game without having to use CA. *shudder*
I don't know if the performance issues are just because of my card, or if it's an Nvidia driver issue or a program issue at this point. But from what i've played so far. I don't have a doubt that I won't enjoy the game.
I really like what i've played so far.

Mass Effect 2 7680×4320 downsampled to 1920x1080.
Those low res textures on Shepard really stick out lol.

Plenty of good looking indie games out there. No excuse.

In case you don't know the fan texture mods for ME2 (and 3) and truly superb. Not sure if you are just grabbing screens or replaying. Nevertheless, if you don't know of these texture mods then you are in for a treat.

Yeah, I was using some texture mods, but I wasn't aware there are texture mods for other things besides characters, THANK YOU!
Some more 8K screens.

Are you'll using SGSSAA or just Durante's tool?
Likely Durante's tool, gedosato

Performance is pretty dreadful on my Nvidia system too. Unless I play with everything on Low I get around 40ish with huge drops to 20 quite frequently. Apparently it runs sub 30fps on PS4 a lot of the time so I think it's just a optimization issue in general.
It's an independently developed and published game on the PC (published by Atlus on PS4). If that isn't indie, I dunno what is.

I totally agree with you mate, "Alan Wake and Mirror's Edge" are two games that have aged wonderfully imo!
It just makes it so much harder waiting for sequels.
