Am I maxing deus ex HR??!!

I cant believe it...I just got it, and I feel extremely dissapointed with the graphics! I cant believe this is maxed, its not even close to the screenshots...

I have DX11 enabled, with all its effect, DOF on High, shadows on soft (I assumed this was the "high" since the other option was "normal" the AA on MLAA (again I assumed it was the best since it was the last one) the SBAO (or whatever) on high and the filters on anisotropic 16x

well I put every option on "max" every option, at 1920x1080

and this is what I get?!

and this are the screenshots...

So far I have not noticed any DX11 effects...and the faces in this game...gosh...they are at the level of doom 3 faces.

dont say "OH MAYBE YOU CANT MAX THE GAME? WHAT ARE YOUR SPECS?!" yes I can obviously max this game and my specs are on my sig so avoid asking that question please.

If you bought Deus Ex HR because you wanted to see some gorgeous graphics, then you bought it for the wrong reasons.

Boris Vorontsov is working on a enb mod for it right now:

The framerate is this bad because of a shadow bug which has been fixed in a newer version according to Boris.

Set your Field of view to 95, it looks so much nicer with everything else set to max.

The graphics aren't very impressive, but that isn't a big deal. The story is awesome.

the visuals are fine. No, they are not cutting edge, and yes, the facial animations are a subpar, but overall the graphics engine suits the game just fine.

Graphics look fine to me, but it better perform great at those graphics, there is no reason it shouldn't at that level of graphics, it should run fine!

Yeah I hear ya, Graphics underwhelmed me also but I still loved the game and finished it in like three days, stop/start gaming. So yes, your pictures there are maxxed graphics.

[QUOTE="Mogzsnet"] Exactly. Deus Ex:HR may not have the most up to date graphics, but it's the meat of the game that most people purchased it for. Good story, unique experience, great game

Try the different AA effects. MLAA made it look terrible for me until I switched it to FXAA High. Judging from your first screenshot, I'd say that's your problem; of course, it's entirely possible that I don't know what I'm talking about. That may not work on ATI cards. Other than that, yes, some of the game looks poor graphically. Especially the character animations in cuscenes.

Here's what that same area looks like for me.

Here're some of my screenshots.

Low quality steam screenshots really do it no justice though, I thought it looked quite good in motion. Never stopped and thought "man, these graphics just aren't cutting it" or anything like that.

I honestly think we're at a point in time in which graphics no longer matter. Everything looks good enough to be playable, fun and immersive. It's not like early 3d stuff when you had to use a generious serving of suspension of disbelief. Sure some games look better than other, but I never launch a game to stare at graphics - it's more a means to an end.

Um were you expecting a great looking game? Anyways change your AA to msaa or something, mlaa makes the whole screen a little blurry.

The modder who did the ENB series of mods for GTA IV is supposedly working on a mod for this game already. I might just wait for that to get released before I play it.

that looks...quite nice...I might try it instead of Edge AA.

do you need to restart the game everytime you change the AA?
