Screenshots Of Games

Have a look through your instructions for the games matey. Most games will come with an in-built screenshot taker and will probably dump the jpeg to the installation folder.

F11 takes a screenie on Farcry for instance.
 
Use Fraps, You get the Best quality screenshots with them.

A screen capture is a screen capture, regardless of the application that takes it. The quality will only ever be that of what is rendered by your PC, and will be the same no matter what method you choose to extract it.

For me, either the ingame screenshot button, or PRT SCRN.
 
I really like screen capture feature in Chronicles of Riddick where it also gave you a picture of the Z-depth too. Wish more games did that or gave more layers. Usually I use the in game feature if it's available. If not, Irfanview.

While this is true in general, some applications/games will auto-compress the screenshot into e.g. jpeg format. Therefore it is possible that screenshots can vary in quality depending on what is used to take them.

For example, Quakeworld supports .tga, .jpg and .png screenshots. When doing jpg captures, there's a variable you can use to control the quality of the compression level.
