What PC game is has the best available graphics ATM?

[Ryzenuser19]

so i was thinking what game has the best available graphics right now?

so some things to list that make my question more answerable;

no RTX features. 

1920x1080 or 2560x1080 are the resolutions im thinking about.

no RTS or MOBA titles 3rd person or first person games only.

 

so the best looking game i can remember playing was the witcher 3 or kingdom come maxed out. tho i played those on my friends pc while he was on holiday and in 4k.

The Witcher 3 is still up there, in my opnion.

Although modded Skyrim can get pretty far too.

 

Not sure about more recent games though.

best graphics is a bit subjective, Doom Eternal is a competitor.

Metro Exodus. Even with raytracing disabled , it looks pretty. 

 

Titanfall2 is also pretty even with its age.

yes see i have doom i just havent played it myself yet. but i loved gears 5 and it wasn't totally pc optimized since there are features they could have let us have and didn't include them.

skyrim ive never managed to get mods installed nicely ever since the way they screwed up the installation method with vortex, that ended skyrim modding for me.

It's a bit of a mess to install your mod manager correctly the first time, especially together with SKSE. But once you do, it works pretty well.

Personally I have always used Mod Organizer (the first one in Oldrim, Mod Organizer 2 in Skyrim SE).

 

Last time I installed it (which was a couple weeks ago), I followed this tutorial set, which worked rather well:

https://aicavehub.com/mod-organizer-2-advanced-1/

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLve8WNIocgBqwG6-BuuIB80m8f29NUGgC

In written and video form.

 

Once you have:

- the game installed

- SKSE installed

- SkyUI installed

You're basically good to install whatever mods interest you.

 

Like if you want to make Skyrim look good you need to have:

- Texture pack(s) (Noble 2K is a good start)

- Better LODs (how things look in a distance)

- New world map

- Static Mesh Improvement Mod (makes general things just look better)

- More texture packs

- Couple character overhaul/changing mods

 

Oh and having the unofficial patch is great too.

honestly im pretty done with skyrim and yeah ive been reduced to use oldrim and nmm but its just been easier to have a friend isntall my mods and send me the game on a 128gb m.2 usb. funnily enough skyrim vr is what made me fall in love with skyrim in the first place.

no love for forza 7?
and i think black desert looks incredible anyone know of mmos with similar graphics with a easier to follow story cause i dont lol. tho i personally think runescape 3 and wow are doing great graphically since runescape launched 2001 and wow 2004.

[APasz]

Oh right Forza 7 is on PC isn't it.

Updated.

I still use NMM on SE. 

I download a mod manually and then install it with NMM.

for the most part yes but control even without rtx looks amazing vs gta 5 or red dead but thats mainly because red dead looks shite unless you can max it out at 1440p at 90fps +

Witcher 3 with Ini tweak

I just like the enhanced rain in Arkham knight with PhysX. Makes the game, fog and debris settings ruin it a bit and tank performance though the debris is impressive
