Hello, let me just warn you, most of these are 1600x1200 Resolution. =p.

I'll post the small ones in the forums and put the huge ones behind links.

(1) Amazing picture of the sun cracking through a destroyed house with my character shooting in the front.

(2) Another picture of the sun cracking through the house, only a diffrent angle, and it looks much better.

(3) A picture of me and two guards, with the sun in the background, looks very nice.

(4) Me about to kill a river drake.

Yep, just incase you are wondering, I have Duel Nvidia GeForce4 6800 Ultras, 2084MB of Ram, and 3 Harddrives(unsure what kind, but it gets the job done.)

All pictures taken at 1600x1200 resolution, full graphics alloud, and some cropped down in Photoshop.

lol, and i dont think your duel graphics cards are doing much for you. Duel graphics cards is for duel monitors.... or I have always though that at least.

SLI allows you to run two graphics cards together as if they were one extremely powerful card. It does, in fact, do a lot to make games run better. Especially for him as he has two cards with 256bit memory.

2 6800U in SLI are the best you can get ATM.

Yet you still have pixellation on your edges, especially with the guard shot?

methinks we have a pointless poser.

Hmmm, you know, I didn't even notice that (which is weird for me as I'm cynical and criticise everything.)

There is no anti-aliasing at all in that screenshot.

Martyrdom · May 06, 2005, 07:16 PM // 19:16

hm, didn't notice, how do i fix it, enable anti-aliasing, hm caus ei have anti-aliasing on 4x

FrodoFraggins · May 07, 2005, 01:07 AM // 01:07

Wont make much difference on this game. But nice system.

Nitro · May 07, 2005, 06:04 AM // 06:04

Actually duel cards blow, they make your power supply burn MUCH faster and do close to nothing. Still beautiful graphics.

A11Eur0 · May 07, 2005, 03:19 PM // 15:19

You probably have AA turned off in your video card settings. Check your 3d settings.

I think you need to see some benchmark results.

I'll post some when I get some friends to run a few.

Edit: As for power supply, yes they do, but who wouldn't have a 450w PSU when they can afford SLI?

Nitro · May 07, 2005, 07:40 PM // 19:40

lol true. But me and my like 10 fans, 3 diff neons and a bunch of other crap. my power supply is 500 wats i believe.

If you didn't have all that uneccessary crap you wouldn't have a problem.

Nitro · May 07, 2005, 08:01 PM // 20:01

Yea, but ill stick with my Nvidia FX 5900 ultra 256 mb. =D

Guillaume De Sonoma · May 07, 2005, 11:54 PM // 23:54

Nice pics. I really like the first one with shafts of light coming through the windows.

The point is, no need to spend $800 on Graphics cards so you can run the game at 300fps. If your moniter only refreshes at 80Hz then you are just wasteing your money.

FrodoFraggins · May 08, 2005, 05:51 AM // 05:51

Human eye can only see 60 FPS anyways.

Once you get into newer games like Doom 3, and even some MMOs like Star Wars Galaxies, which have scalable graphics engines... You'd pray for two 6800 Ultras in SLI.

Games like those increase in detail into infinity based on your hardware, and scalability is so going to be standard soon. Even Stalker - Shadows Of Chernobyl is going to be scalable.
