Really nice pictures. To remove the motion blur on the first image, though, you'd have to play with Post Processing turned off. Thanks for the spoiler too. When I clicked on it my computer went sluggish loading the pictures.

Edit: N/m. That's partly the missile impact blur.

Looks good Sunzero8k.

Lets see if people like un-edited shots for a while

Ok so i have the 6950, anyone know where post processing can be turned off? I have looked on the catalyst control panel and cant seem to find an option, idk if it is an option?!

Also, how do you get screenshots at a higher res? I assume this is just down to the program capturing the images?

[Koniving]

Have you tried in game, White Bear? They're in the options.

The resolution in the options menu maxes out at 1920 x 1080?

And for PP i realised my derp...

They're creating "fake" resolutions with the graphics cards; a bit beyond what you might be able to do possibly. I know mine can't do it.

It's under the advanced options, where you can find details for objects, terrain, texture quality, etc., etc., etc.



I don't do screenshots and don't have external programs to do anti-aliasing for me, so I haven't got much reason to turn it off for myself; motion blur looks decent on videos.

The technique is called Downsampling, achieved via creating a custom resolution in your driver panel.
I have been playing around with this since GTA4 and the infamous ENB-modifications.
Easier to achieve on NV cards than on ATI IIRC (could be totally wrong here, my HD5850 has long gone into my mother´s machine), because you need no monitor timing hacks and such stuff.

For NV cards:
Step 1: Open up NV Control Center
Step 2: Head to Resolution
Step 3: Click "Customize" (this should open up another window, showing all the available resolutions)
Step 4: Click "Create user specific resolution"
Step 5: Check box saying "Activate resolutions that are not available on your display"
Step 6: Create a resolution that is either: 1.5/2/2.5/3 ... times the resolution of your monitor

*You will need to fiddle around at Step 6 a bit, since monitors differ from each other and one might accept higher resolutions than the exact model your brother/mate/... has.
Note, if your techsavvy or patient, you can further tweak your custom resolutions playing around with the timings and all the other options given*

Note :
If your display does not want to accept your new custom resolution it might happen that you are being left with a black screen because the driver has difficulties reverting back to normal.
DONT PANIC here, do a reboot and your standard resolution should be back again.

Sorry that I am not able to help out all the ATI guys, but I dont really wanna travel 18 km on my bicycle just to play around on my mother´s PC which might make my stepfather go apeshit-mental, because of techwar between my brother, me and the aforemetioned only because he keeps installing useless "Administration" (spyware nothing else) tools (read as: effing *****) on a machine that my brother and me had perfectly setup for Ma as a working/gaming rig last Christmas as a proper gift from grateful sons.

Have at it torturing your rigs !

Edit for great justice :

Fiddled around a bit right now and found out my BenQ XL2420T can even stomach
3840x2160 (DS2x) at rounded 44Hz (43.7, but driver rounds up there, dont know why) while DS1,5 (2880x1620) runs at 60Hz.
Ahhh, I can smell the hot circuitry already ^^

I have to admit - I was playing the other morning and saw you on the other team (a Cat K2, PPCs and a UAC/5 I think) and was hoping I'd get to see my blue and yellow Wang show up in this thread. A guy can dream, right?

[Lordred]

I will perform a walkthrough of everything I do for ya all so you can see the process.

[Lordred]

Step by step broken down for what I do.

(I will look into AMD(ATI) cards at a later date, I have an APU to mess with)

Step 1: Using a capture program of choice, I use MSI Afterburner it is almost NO impact, and is a powerfull overclocking/capture program, I like to shoot in PNG @ 100% for best image quality, this results in high file size however.


Step 2: Set motion blur to off in user config.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steps 3-4 Applies to Nvidia only
Step 3: Creat custom resolution for downsampleing images.




Set resolution in MWO


Step 4: AA and driver tweeks.


The use of Nvidia Inspector is recomended, while NVidia Control Pannel offers some settings to play with, Nvidia Inspector gives much more controle, as well as settings to adjust.


Step 5: Find your images, convert them to JPG (for file size reasons) shrink them to whatever resolution you want and touch em up if you feel like it using which ever program you want.
Note: @ 3072x1920 pictures are often 10mb a peice. I only uploaded the 2880x1800 pics after bringing them down to ~1.4mb ea



I Hope this was helpfull.

Lowspec user here, no antialiasing no fancy no nothing.



Taken yesterday, turned out to be a caprace ._:

[Koniving]

Other than the texture quality, it actually doesn't look that different from medium and very high (since most stuff above medium doesn't actually work; low spec optimizations have been the priority).

Triple AC/2, LB-10x, and 2 MGs. With the new audio it sounds awesome!

Stock still. Dazzle camo. (Gonna teach him how to merge the two and spoiler after another match or two.)

You use the same colours i do. (Being White Bear 84 and all white is a must have)

Konivig, you use the same colours but for my Jager i have ditigal. Looks so cool.

Best one is woodland on the catapult though!

p.s. took of AA and PP in the advanced options, game looked better and the screenshots were much sharper too. I will have to get some shots tonight testing out the patch.
