Beautiful Game Appreciation

Yes R* have really set a standard with open world games.

My old 1060 just doesn't like it.

Same card here. You got 3GB or 6GB VRAM?

Yes I've got the 6Gb. It is a real work horse and was a free EVGA replacement for some massive card I had before, which had a fan failure.

It was interesting trying different graphics setting in Legion and watching the VRAM hit the red and the FPS dive.

She, one of my favourite characters is actually taking a selfie, hovering on a cargo drone over the river Thames.

Oh yes it runs both games no problem but I usually run some of the settings on High. I was just trying to get better screenshots. So I turned some up for latter which is Legion and the card was struggling a bit. Thanks.

The former is GTAV.

It'll be interesting when I do update card to see just how much better all games can look.

A little dip into Mechwarrior 5 (screenshots aided by the Ultimate Unreal Unlocker)

Battlemaster

Marauder (MAD)

Alternate view, to show off the rocky skies

We shot that one REALLY hard, leaving nothing but a smoking pair of legs!

@Zloth It's interesting isn't it, what is perceived as beautiful. So for example SofW isn't a beautiful location, it's just a back drop for action. But some of Talion's armour with it's detailed and colourfully embroided cloths are I think beautiful.

Same with GTAV, the location is just a back drop, but the cars are beautiful I think.

(I was going to suggest an open photography competition, but those with higher quality systems would have to start with a handicap)

IMGbox works.

I enjoy this, I go snowboarding in the Alps(beautiful if you like all white), then do a rally in Sweden, then over to Los Santos for a car chase, and then it's lopping off orks heads. Tough day around here

As a side quest, how about show the most prized item in your game. I'm still trying to get the Wraithgiver in SofW. Here's Aloy's Sheild Weaver armour.

I like how in HZD they show the remnants of the old world; a dam, a plane, wind turbines, rusty cars and swings.

 

[Zloth]

?? Most prized item in which game?

X4: Foundations has a free update along with the new DLC. Part of that free update is new "builder" ships (ships that can build space stations). When the game released, everybody's builder ship looked like it was made by the Argons. Now, finally, they are more individualized.
