It is pretty telling how there is only slight to none difference between LOW and HIGH in recent console to PC ports.

It means the devs spend exactly 0 time on featuring different engine settings for the PC version, *sigh*.

Low to medium is usually what you get on consoles. Other than resolution and maybe better textures, DX11 bells and whistles are all the extras you get on PC.
 
I have been complaining lately that I need a GTX 680, because my GTX 480 is not up to par. I feel like an old rich douche bag who isn't happy with this 5 million dollar home after seeing some of these pics.

I LOVE YOU ALL, and I love America. GOD BLESS PC GAMING.
 
This thread is weird, because the worse a game looks like in screens probably means a better job was done porting it, by making it more scalable and optimising for a wider spectrum of machines.

It's a little tricky, because that's likely, but not *necessarily* the case; it's quite possible to make something that looks shit but is still fairly demanding, and it's reasonably possible to make something that looks quite good but is remarkable lightweight. I'd be interested to hear what sort of level of framerate difference people are getting on the min-quality settings compared to the maximum ones; if something doesn't look that much worse but doubles or triples the framerate, they've done some funky voodoo (or, I guess, some of the max-detail features are *extremely* expensive for only small gain!)
 
Team fortress2 is the only game i can play on low. i played on low until release and only recently upgraded my pc.

because tf2 doesn't have intricate, complex art designs, and that mostly everything is bland (but bland in a good way) playing on low didn't really make me think i was missing out on a whole lot of stuff.
 
That's the thing the majority of them run on shit laptops/netbooks and can only run things on low and if they're lucky medium. Have one cousin who has over 500 hours in CS:S playing at an average of 9 fps with occasional spikes to 19. Nearly everyone I know plays on a laptop/netbook that has nowhere near enough power to run anything competently.

Wow. That's just amazingly terrible.
 
Makes me want to see what B&W1 looks like on low

Coming up... it doesn't actually run on current systems, but I played through it that way back in 2002 or whenever it was.

EDIT: Get this: it doesn't actually start on the lowest settings. It started once on the highest ones I had somehow forced it into running on a year ago in Win7, but upon changing the settings to minimum it won't actually run at all.

EDIT 2: Win 98 compatability mode:

That is the maximum resolution the game will actually render at.

Last edit: there might be a launcher where you can make the settings even lower... I'll get on that.

Edit 4: Okay, here are the actually lowest settings for the game. I played this at 14 FPS for dozens of hours.

I'm somewhat distracted by the fact that you appear to be fondling the avatar's udders.

Fondling the cow is the only way to make it know eating rocks is good.
