Yeah I have a i7 quad core 3.25Mhz and a lowly 560Gti Geforce (overclocked version) but I can ramp all current games up to max still.

Watch this, it's from Battlefield 3 I have battlefield 4 which is if you can believe it even more eyemelting. The cut scenes are now the in game graphics.

I've stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier and the attention to detail even down to the sound the ship engine makes are uncanny, gave me goosebumps first time I saw it.

Ah yes, might have a go at ESO but am afraid of wasting too much time in such an escapade.

I have the same CPU but have the GTX780 GPU...its gonna be a while before i start overclocking stuff i reckon

Playing BF4 currently, when i have time i might finally get past these pesky tanks!

Off to slumber land 2240 in Adelaide!

The 560GTI is basically about 600 series equivalent, but I'll probably need a new card soon as graphics tech moves fast. I didn't overclock it myself the manufacturers did, not stupid enough to dick around with graphics cards myself.

Of course seldom are there dogfights in air combat these days, that top gun shit is bs, you'll seldom even get a visual of your targets and the missiles are usually launched from 10s of miles away but meh, artistic license. The last real dogfights like that happened in WWI, and were not even that common in WII due to the increased speed of the planes, although of course you would at least get a visual on your enemy.

I did some Black Flag: Freedom Cry

Screenshots:





Never mess with a big black man with an oversized machette.

It doesn't capture the sea and the ship moving up and down and the French Flag flapping in the wind and wot not but I gives a fair idea of the sort of sophistication software designers have now in terms of graphics.

That ship in the foreground is a Brigantine, owned by said big black guy with a machette. That slave colony is Port au Prince as it would probably have looked in the late 18th century now a days it's the capital of Haiti of course and self governed rather than French owned.

Oh and sorry but this is remarkable in terms of art:

A rewriting of the old classic by Ary Barrossa covered by such greats as Frank Sinatra et al. Known in Brazil as Watercolour of Brazil or Aquarela do Brasil, but in English speaking countries simply as Brazil.

Terry Gilliams film: Brazil, is brilliant too, hell it has Robert De Niro in it, legendary for his Tuttle which is of course one of the defining cameos in the film.

It's probably at no 1 in my top 10 films if you haven't seen you must list, followed closely by Fight Club, and Casablanca oh and Ice Cold in Alex and ah yeah Whiskey Galore; ah hold on I forgot The League of Gentleman and The Hill and Alien and Aliens, damn it forgot The Name of the Rose, A Clockwork Orange and the LOTR trilogy- ah you get the point...

That vid definitely the stuff of nightmares.
Love the Black Flag pics...gotta get that one.

Have you seen Cloud Atlas? A visually stunning and very peculiar film.

Everyone should see it, even your great-great-Grandma who is now 28 and living in Dorset, England.

Lol ok will do.

My great grandmother is dead and has been these last 108 years, but I take your point.

Back on the game menu - I cannot say enough about Metro Last Light. I'm towards the end now...it is the most realistic game and of pure dystopia that i've played, the amount of detail to 'crap' and junk that those guys put into the game is barely comprehensible.

In the realm of beauty in computer games the first masterpiece has in my opinion since then never been surpassed
