Hahahaha that's awesome.
That's the highest I've heard of. An 8GB 980 might come in handy at some point.
ENB formula of VRAM is memory of GPU and memory of RAM. Should be set like this:
VRam + SystemRam - 2048 = *** (the max is 10240)
In-game maxed, 8K Bilinear (forgot to set it to Bicubic or Lanczos) downsampling:
Am getting around 20-30fps w/8K (60 w/4K), some possible headroom there for 12K shots. I'll take some bicubic or lanczos shots later tonight after work when I get a chance, GeDoSaTo works very nicely with the game.

Good seeing Mafia 2 again. Really enjoyed that game a lot.
About to cross off another old game in my backlog. Mini Ninjas is a fun little game. Great colour and image quality when downsampled too.

Oh CA tree Oh CA tree,
My eyes hurt when I see you

That shader is a huge no-no.

Thanks, good reminder. I think I remember posting a bicubic and lanczos comparison of Witcher 2 where lanczos was too sharp and bicubic indeed looked better. I do like using lanczos for Divinity OS.
There's an in-game opacity slider that can be used to dim or hide the hud. I wish every game had that option.
Still at work, I'll try capturing some more screenshots in a while when am off. I also have Fable Lost Chapters installed and was thinking of doing a quick comparison between it and Anniversary.

Never knew this game looked so good too.
Ouch you are right... looks fugly beyond a doubt

Yup. And yeah Lanczos2 can look ok for some stuff. But in general, at least just to me. It's pretty bad. Lanczos3 though , better by a mile.
Also: Do that comparison! I'd love to see it!
^That shot is out of focus for just about everything. I had to think about what was actually happening here for a minute
As i've played Mafia 2 on my 3rd playthrough now over the course of 70+ hours. The best thing it could ever use beyond technical issues being fixed (Like low Z-precision especially in the distance, which results in quite a bit of Z-Fighting)is simply better textures. Would make a world of difference.

A lot of people in here love to resample images with bicubic sharp in photoshop. Lanczos2 is blurry compared to that =P
Most of what I post is lanczos2 unless I'm doing my sharpening in-game (in which case, I use lanczos3). Though these are filters in faststone. Not sure how they compare to others. The GeDoSaTo lanczos filter is way sharper than the lanczos2 I use to downsample images.

Ha, well. Personally I haven't used BiSharp in ages (or at least what feels like ages). I either only use Bilinear to simulate what I actually see via driver downsampling a lot of times or just use Bicubic.
But also:
BiSharp sharper than L2?
you are actually right! It is indeed sharper slightly.
there is more noticeable ringing with BiSharp too.

As a lover of all effects whacky and appreciator of CA... yeah the CA is a bit bad there.

Well, I only have lanczos2 via FastStone to go by. The differences I see are usually much bigger than what I saw in your comparison.
Battlefield 4 example:
(Bicubic Sharp is really dirty looking in this first one)

And a Wolfenstein example for good measure:

Big differences there too.

That's exactly what I used. Lanczos2 from faststone vs Bisharp from Photoshop.
Infranview's Lanczos setting is even worse than Lanczos2 for example. And compared to L3 from FS, oh man it looks bad. (Old comparison I did) (Actually had to search the site for that, in the process I found this which seems to be another you made? Differences definitely seem less pronounced. )
But i'm sure I mentioned it at some point prior. It definitely depends on content, like with Wolf when people were first posting screens of it downsampled from high ratios. Lanczos2 was making it look really bad and actually creating aliasing that shouldn't be there.
And your examples do show more of a difference based on the content vs my comparison as well.
Either way, I still prefer Bicubic/Lanczos3 over both. But people should def continue to use what they like regardless.

Yeah, I created 4 but only showed 2. The DoF in that one you linked kinda makes it hard to see the differences.

With no SLI support, my comp runs it like garbage. Not screenshot worthy from my end
Yeah, i'm not launching SC without new card or at least FPS module, so no shots from me for a while

Damn. It will take many, many years for C3 to look dated.

Here's something =P But man I'd really love for there to be some kind of nice AA options. These are down from 3200x1800.
My Aurora looking puny in the revamped and much larger hangar.

SC has so much shader/specular aliasing it's crazy. It's really the only thing holding it back from looking like CG pretty much.
