So lately I've been under the impression that a fair number of people believe Crysis is PCs only graphics and technical marvel since 2007. But this thread is here to show you that there is a lot more than just "Crysis." So feel free to post some screens :)

I'll start us off with a couple: (Shattered Horizon, Arma II)







EDIT:

For everyone angry about this not actually being the TV show Mythbusters...

And for everyone saying SH screens are bull...

From my PC:

Happy now!?!? :x

Everytime I see "Myth Busters" I think it's the actual show experimenting with video games! Disappointed yet again...

You're crazy. Crysis doesn't have godlike graphics. Multiple games come close, especially the two TC showed us.

Some STALKER SOC screens with 2009 complete mod, the newer ones look much better, too lazy to take screens of them though. Shattered Horizon looks amazing too by the way.



I'd like to point out the parallax mapping and the amazingly detailed bump mapping of the bricks in the last photo, it's amazing to go up to the walls and what you see actually looks like individual bricks and not just some flat 2d painting of something that resembles a brick wall, simply amazing.

Do you need a DX11 card to unlcok more settings or something? I am using a 4890 and I set it to max and still got a good frame rate.

Shattered Horizon looks amazing. Graphics-wise, PC games are miles ahead of consoles and Crysis isn't the only game that proves that statement is true.

:lol: It's all good. I know for a fact that Crysis isn't the only graphically impressive game on the PC. Those that do, are in denial.

Crytek must love the attention Crysis gets for its graphical prowess, even three years after its release.

Both of those games look great. I would also like to add DiRT 2 to the list. Call me crazy, but it looks pretty damn good.

I don't get it. Am I the only one that think Shattered Horizon doesn't look that great. It's nothing mind blowing like Crysis did when it first came out. Judging by the screen shots, I still think that Crysis looks very pretty. Shattered Horizon, not so much.

Shattered Horizon's engine was mind blowing when it was first shown...Some might still call it pretty mind blowing...

Everytime I see "Myth Busters" I think it's the actual show experimenting with video games! Disappointed yet again...


Now, I'll read the OP.

That's what I thought. I thought the actual Mythbusters said that Crysis is the PC's only graphical marvel.

This is pretty disappointing.

Yeah well the average on the 2 GPU tests came out to 77-80FPS with 4x 5870s and that's possibly the one of the best configurations you can have.

So lately I've been under the impression that a fair number of people believe Crysis is PCs only graphics and technical marvel since 2007. But this thread is here to show you that there is a lot more than just "Crysis." So feel free to post some screens :)

I'll start us off with a couple: (Shattered Horizon, Arma II)

Why I played the Free Weekend on Shattered horizon I could not get my game to look like that. I set everything to the max too.

That would be because these are bullshots.

Crysis looks better than both of those IMO. Shattered Horizon is nice, but Arma II doesn't seem all that special....
