Space Marine

Orcs Must Die!

I will sort out some of my other screens and upload them tomorrow 

I guess I should make thumbnails...

Anyway, can't do clickable thumbnails, they always turn out blank, probably due to the aspect ratio and/or size, so just click the link and view it.
(Warning, extremely wide 5760x1080 resolution.)

All are on max without Anti-Aliasing (To demanding at this res!), if you wanna' see any specific games, let me know. :)

I have:
* AMD FX-8120 @ 4.8ghz. (Under custom Water.) Replaced my old Phenom 2 x6 1090T 6 core chip.
* 2x 8gb (16gb total) DDR3 1866mhz ram.
* Dual Radeon 7970's, overclocked. Had twin Radeon 6950's 2gb's unlocked into 6970's before these.
Drives:
     * 2x 64gb OCZ Vertex 2 SSD's in Raid 0.
     * 2x 1tb Samsung Spinpoint F3's in Raid 0 as my games drive (Upgrading to 2x 2tb Western Digital blacks soon, as these drives are almost full).
     * 2x 2tb Western Digital greens as storage.
     * 2x Samsung Blu Ray Burners.
* Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 motherboard.
* 3x 24" Alienware 120hz 3D monitors in Eyefinity, mounted on an XFX Eyefinity stand.
* Antec Dark Fleet-85 case.
* Creative Sound Blaster Xi-Fi Titanium.
* 5.1 JVC Home Theatre system, which I'm not to impressed with. I do intend to replace it.

I've actually had the PC for years, but to stay current it's been constantly upgraded when something new and shiny comes out.

You can now.

I'll throw up some Battlefield 3 shots tomorrow morning. :)

Batman: AC

Shogun 2

Dawn of War: retribution 

Some Battlefield 3. Everything is on Ultra, except for the Anti-Aliasing, I have to admit, I use this game as a benchmarking tool for my system and never really "played it" other than the first couple of levels in the single player, the story is boring for me just like call of duty's, but it looks pretty. :)

I think BF3 looks rather ugly TBH, the actual indevidual textures and models are a bit poor in places (buildings in those screens all look really basic and undetailed), effects are all good tho. And draw distance and destruction can be impressive.

Textures are a bit poor, however the effects are awesome.
Dice still had to design the game with the slow and old consoles in mind (And the average PC being a few years old), so can't expect everything.
It's still allot more than what other devs would have even bothered to do graphically.

Hopefully Mass Effect 3 supports Eyefinity, Mass Effect 1 and 2 don't unfortunatly, unless I throw my monitors in portrait mode (3240x1920), but being TN panels with poor viewing angles it looks like crap.
I'm still waiting on a Skyrim mod that will bring a decent UI that scales well to. :( Till then I've shelved that game.

Just for kicks. Here is some Minecraft in Eyefinity.

What do you guys use to screencap?

I have just been using Steam/Fraps/EVGA precision, just remember to capture BMP or PNG for fraps as the JPEGs Fraps/EVGA captures are complete shit, overly compressed. You can always use a photo editing program to convert the lossless files to high quality JPEGs like I do for smaller files. Steam is ok but if you look closely you can see artifacting in certain spots, it's roughly = to a photoshop JPEG at 9 quality compression. I compress my BMP screens to 10 usually which gives the best quality to file size ratio IMO, you can do 12 if you don't want any visible image degradation even for a close inspection.

Here is a comparison of Steam, recompressed FRAPS BMP to 10 JPEG and 12 JPEG and FRAPS JPEG
