Roll Up! Roll Up!

Roll Down those graphics sliders!

We all know how good PC/console/vacuum tube/electronical/computer/video games can look these days, but what about those of us who need to really feel those pixels? What about those of us who need 1920x1080 resolution screenshots with no AA or AF or anything?

Well, boy howdy do I have the very thread for you! Show us all what you got!

Ready for the close-up?

Here are some images taken from the original gaf thread:

some of your shots dont look so bad, i'll crank the settings down and get some shots later

Surprised how well Just Cause 2 scales.

Nice, a few of my screenshots are already in the OP! My work here is done.

The low settings still look better than the crap console versions. I have tried this before on a PC that is 7 years old for lulz.

Oh dear... Oblivion looks terrible. hahaha

Dude I just ate!

Makes me wanna play BF3 in 640x480 full screen on a 1080p monitor again.

its because the screenshots are taken of a game at the lowest resolution and youre looking at them at a much higher one, so instead of being blown up on the entire monitor where you can find all the ugliness, its small and not all that bad looking.

The units from Shogun 2 are hilarious. Are they carrying laundry bags or something?

meant to post this yesterday but ended up playing battlefield multiplayer instead

I dont think it looks too bad considering its at the lowest everything

oh man this is wonderful, just gives me an a greater appreciation for all those bells and whistles.

They all look like old UE3 games before the textures loaded all the way.

Some shots from Max Payne 3. They really don't look that bad.

Games that truly scale well should look like utter dog shit on the absolute lowest setting.

You know, they don't look terrible. They certainly look playable. That's kind of nice actually. I wouldn't ever want to play a game with such low settings but I imagine those graphics look fine for some people.

Wow! The Wii U is....Awesome!

That Oblivion picture looks terrible but the rest look alright. Also zooming in on Total War is not really fair, that shit looks blocky even when you crank those graphic sliders to the max.

They at least look somewhat playable and some don't look bad at all, though the Doom 3 picture is really jarring because that game is supposed to be pretty dark.

As for me?

That's actually a lighting bug but at the time I didn't know it and I turned it all the way down to see if I could fix it. To this day, it's still a dice roll as to whether the lighting will work or not whenever I start up Half-Life 2.

@me3639: Back in my day trolling meant something.

back in the day i tried to run crysis and crysis warhead on my pentium 4

to make it run decently i made a custom config, and this was the result

Nostalgia for shitty graphics. This thread is fantastic.

Oh man, this is the second thread in the last ten minutes that has made me laugh out loud after 2 a.m.. Maybe I should just go to sleep.

You are a monster.... BE GONE!

Shoulda ask me a year ago when I had a terrible pc, I can play everything at high now so meh.

I'm impressed that you could get those results actually. That game still doesn't run at 60 when I crank it on a high-mid range machine. I'm writing something about thsi game at the moment, you don't happen to have a copy of that cfg kicking around do you?

@nintendoeats:

Well i grabbed the screenshot from a thread i posted on incrysis.com in 2008. so its been a long time, i barely remember where the config is located, and ive probably done multiple wipes of my machine since then.

But ill see if i cant find something.

Edit : no, couldn't find anything unfortunately.

Aww man, I'm SO glad this exists. Not only do I have low-settings screenshots, they're LOW-RES. Behold, Saints Row: The Third (in glorious jpeg-o-vision)at 1440x900!

Also, PNGs (also at 1440x900).

Also, more on Steam (only the shots dated July 25th are at 1440x900, but they're ALL at the game's lowest settings.

Edit: Yup, digging threads up again. :D

Running on an Intel HD 4000

EDIT: And this was at min res, 640x420 (or something, widescreen, so it wasn't x480) and I was getting 31 fps

@Fattony12000: No exterior shot from oblivion? If you truly turn the settings down to their lowest settings, the view distance is about a foot, and all you can see is white fog. It's incredible.
