    I like the build quality of the Z2 and what's not to like about custom phone skins, naked phone feel but with customisability .

    Switching a GS4 (probably same with the Note 3 display) to movie mode results in very natural colours, I believe around the time it was launched it was found to be the most accurate display on any mobile device, similarly this can be seen to a lesser extent on older galaxy S devices by switching off "dynamic" mode. It's not that Amoled is inherently oversaturated, it's just that Samsung's stock calibration does that on purpose because a lot of people like how the colours pop, even if it's not realistic, plus it helps make photos taken with the camera look better than they are, and I'm guessing the Oculus is set up to use a completely different configuration so the fact that it uses Amoled really doesn't matter as far as colour accuracy is concerned.

    My 760 is running at 1177MHz Boost (actually runs a bit higher since it never gets close to 80C), 1702MHz memory (2GB vRAM version). I do only have 8GB of RAM, pretty sure it never came close to filling them though.

    Finally finished Watch Dogs, it was fun but not that impressive and definitely not deserving of the hype. The screenshots below were taken with TheWorseMod (Final version) + MalDo textures + SweetFX Realistic Preset by Piterrrxd. The UI elements and subtitles kinda ruin some of the shots unfortunately but performance issues aside the game does look pretty amazing after installing those mods especially when it's raining.

    Uhm, I have a 760 w/4690k and it runs at 28-40ish, probably around 35 average but it dips and rises all the time which makes it even worse. It does it with medium textures and medium preset, or high textures ultra preset... it doesn't even make a difference, going with medium textures reduces stutter just a tiny little bit but it's still as bad otherwise.

    Modded Skyrim with a nice ENB, weather mod, textures etc, it just can't be beaten, plus you can pretty much tailor the style however you like. . Watch Dogs with TheWorseMod (Final version) + MalDo textures + SweetFX Realistic Preset by Piterrrxd is also one of the best looking games I've played (the vanilla game looks very bland and unimpressive IMO but the textures are nice), the good part about this is it preforms almost the same with or without the mods, the bad part is that it performs like crap either way...

    Well up until this announcement it was planned to be Windows 8 and higher only... Edit: Sorry, didn't see how old this topic was!

    A few days ago EVGA released the new (supposedly "100% own written") PrecisionX 15, which was identified by Guru3D as looking like a Riva Tuner copy (read more on this here). Guru3D warned EVGA but the release was not stopped. While it wasn't well received due to this fact, there were no claims up to this point of EVGA stealing code. However yesterday a third party decompiled PrecisionX 15 and found traces of Rivatuner. Now EVGA has decided to temporarily take down PrecisionX 15 and go back to the drawing board. EVGA have released a statement commenting on this issue: Sources: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/evga-retracts-precisionx-15-download-issues-a-statement.html http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/evga-steals-the-rivatuner-rtss-design-concept-into-precisionx-15.html http://www.evga.com/precision/

    I used to run firefox exculsively for several years, I switched out about 2 years ago mostly for the convenience of syncing to android devices and overall higher quality of addons and I still prefer it overall although I might switch to firefox (or maybe even IE) on my laptop just for when I'm on battery.

    OnePlus themselves have said this is not true the same day this was posted.

    Looks like Path of Exile
  12. Nicktrance
    Meh, it doesn't look that impressive IMO, especially considering this is supposed to be a "next gen" game and all the hype definitely didn't help it and you can get better graphics out of even similar types of games such as Sleeping dogs. Textures are quite nice though even though I can't take them higher than high without massive stuttering.
  13. Nicktrance
    Actually I thought it looked very underwhelming and boring in vanilla form. Look at the first image, lighting and colours aren't that impressive even at night, although I guess one could argue that it's a bit more realistic that way (except at night where it's too bright, as in many games for gameplay reasons).

    I swear it wasn't me! Out for a stroll in the park and testing some camera/time controls The second two screenshots were made using theWorse mod 0.8 with MalDo Texture FIX + Trees Fix + Ubisoft Patch fix and SweetFX with Realistic preset by Piterrrxd, I'd like to take a few good screenshots in the night/rain as they look so much better than the original. Edit: A few more screenshots of the city in the night. Best parking job ever: Stop time FTW! Does anyone know of a way to enable/disable the HUD while in-game, maybe using CE tables, I could turn off HUD in the .ini files but I'd rather not play the whole game without it just so I can occasionally get a few awesome screenshots.
  15. Nicktrance
    Yup, that's over a year ago, I have since changed a lot of mods (e.g. water and lighting), right now I'm using realistic water 2 (a sort of successor to WATER) and COT+ELFX, although I actually haven't played in months and I have got a new graphics card since so I may be experimenting with some more demanding ENBs when I finish exams and possibly play a few games I have got from the Summer sale . That's just like the free version, I believe full version only removes the watermark from videos and lets you record for >30 secs.
  16. Nicktrance
    Honestly I left it at default and I'm using the free version, the quality I get is pretty much identical to in-game. try uploading to imgur if you're seeing quality degradation after uploading.
  17. Nicktrance
    No it's not, you must be doing something wrong .

    The only reason this case looks appealing to me is that NZXT did a massive mistake of not making a black/black, black/white or even a black/grey version so this is the only way to have that. If I were to buy this I'd disconnect all the lighting and use my own. That said, rather than spending an extra $30 just to get the colour I want but with extra logos I don't want, I think I'd rather get a Define R4.

    I usually use FRAPS but some games like skyrim have an inbuilt screenshot feature if you press printscreen. I believe you can also use Precision X, Afterburner and several other tuning programs. I guess you could also use printscreen and save it in an image editing program but that's less convenient, and the windows 8 start+prtscr combo for auto saving screenshots doesn't work in games. You could also use Steam but the quality on that is pretty terrible so I never really use that unless I mean to post them on steam for some reason especially if I want to show off the game's graphics. Aside from that try to avoid having UI showing, kinda ruins screenshots IMO but that's not always possible.

    Rockstar posted a video on their YouTube channel of a trailer supposedly captured on a PS4, or so they say. It does look really good though let's hope the port is at least half decent.
  21. Nicktrance
    Seems like it's not going to die any time soon either , if anything it's more popular now than it was when we 'd just started posting in it.
  22. Nicktrance
    Looks amazing, can't wait for the final shots . I see what you mean about it needing more 'body', but it still looks excellent, though.
  23. Nicktrance
    rFactor 2. Already asked a few posts before .
  24. Nicktrance
    Really? I haven't played it for over a year and I don't remember it being hard other than a few collectables I had some problems getting to.
  25. Nicktrance
    Not sure about the first but the second is rFactor2 (I think)and the last is Mafia 2.
