okay, since i got me a new vidcard(a radeon x850 xt, folks), i've been running through all the games, and tech demos i've had a hard time running well, and it's glorious, i figured we all should go and compare good looking screenshots of tech demos/games running on our current hardware..
small exception, no freespace eyecandy, we've seen enough already.. ;)
and use lvlshot tags, please.

F.E.A.R Demo


"the Project" - Crytek tech demo

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

more of the same, most likely, as it's gonna be a DX9 card, like the X850's :p

besides, this isn't for showing off vidcards, but for showing off pretty screenshots that people have:nod:

It's a DX9 card, yes, but it supports SM3, which the X850 doesn't.

I'm going to shut up now, as I have nothing to contribute currently.

Nice screenies so far, though!

They may look pretty, but if the gameplay is the same old song and dance, then count me out. :p

That's 3D Mark 2005. It's a benchmark program used to test the power of your computer (although it can be somewhat biased).

You can't play it, sadly :)

That Proxycon demo would actually make an awesome game. The design style actually reminds me a lot of the FS mainhalls.

I might take some shots of SCCT and Far Cry a bit later. I can't show them exactly as they appear though, since the superbright thing is added on by the monitor.

Anyway, screenshots don't mean much for showing off video cards; what matters is how fast things run. You can have perfect looking screenshots in 2048x1536 16x/16x on a 6200TC card. :D

ditto, i woulda preferred it as an RTS, instead of a tactical thingy much like ST Command.

Edit: i'd show doom 3 off on this thing, if it weren't for the fact that it doesn't want to play nice with my audigy 2 card... damn bugs. :doubt:

Sorry. I changed what you said so that it more closely reflected what I was thinking.
