best graphics mod for any game

Predicament · 17 Feb 2011 at 22:12

which game have you seen have the best graphics (mods included)

For example, what would really stress a 5970 and look hot @ 1920 x 1080

I remember something I saw on youtube, it wasn't a mod as such, just in the Crysis editor, he stacked something like 50,000 explosive barrels, and blew them up, he couldn't look at the explosion for more than two seconds or his computer would crash. I wonder if the 5970 could manage a few more seconds haha

My 5970 managed it fine, except you had to turn off motion blur to finish the ship level.

Agreed. Find me a rig that will fly the PMDG 747 into a fully modded KLAX at 100% AI traffic etc at a solid 60fps, and I will find you someone with too much money.

My vote would go for S.T.A.L.K.E.R with the complete mod installed. Deffo stress that card, and personally i think it looks sweet

I seen this also, the frame rate was around a frame every 6 seconds, so he had to run it for around 8 hours, then use a video editing tool to compress these 6 second frames into a quick 2min video or something.

That isn't the exact figures if you work it out obviously, but it's some serious power needed. The actually fact was it wasn't the graphics card that couldn't process it all, it was his CPU, even despite it being a quad core, it simple couldn't compute all the physics at once.

NMCs Texture Pack for fallout 3 + dynamic weather mod + MMM (MMM isn't a graphical mod, but increases the number of enemies)

Those 3 mods together will be more than a match for your 5970.
