Sam, estuansis, et al.

The magic place estuansis had found is nowhere to be found in Riding Shotgun. That means it is somewhere in Under the Radar and we would be back to the problem that Sam had - trying to get past laser guns and 3 hunters in the basement - all of that. There is a point after the combine trap and the battle with 3 hunters in the basement, that you cross the river again, and that must be where you found it.

So, Sam, Estuansis agrees that my shot - taken from different angles right at the beginning of Riding Shotgun, is somewhat similar to his in quality and composition. So let's use that. Estuansis talked about a console command to remove the HUD, or UI. So I might try to go back there and shoot without the crowbar. But in any case, Sam, with or without the HUD, and crowbar, just go to that same spot, at the beginning of [edit] Riding Shotgun. Here's the screenie again:




You'll find it quite easily, it's just a narrow 1000 foot section of river - look for the little island with the rocks and the one tree. You can jump down the bank next to the mouth of the tunnel, and you'll be right there. Shrink to 800 pixels wide and we'll all have the same size screen. Thanks, Rich

Here's the kind of side by side I have in mind, guys. That's why if you get a chance to pop your EP2 on, in your nvidia rig, estuansis, just for that one river shot, then we'll have 3, then add Sam's later, that will give us 4 good comparisons. [Edit] Riding Shotgun, very beginning, in the river, picture of little island from tunnel end of river.

Here's my shot x850xtpe at 1600x1200 not all maxed, medium textures




and here's estuansis X1800XT at 1280x1024, very high textures




Sam has the best eye for detail - what do you think Sam, any difference?

Here are my settings:




and here are estuansis' settings:
