    Feel free to post images of games you're playing.

    Image sizes are:

    Min is 900p (1600 x 900)
    Max is 4K (3840 x 2160)

    I believe the forum auto scales the image so it should be OK to post 4K images.

    Videos are welcome too.

    I'll be doing some image capture of games once I get home from my gym session :D

    Damn those Forza pics are nice. I'll just continue to be a 1440p peasant and admire your shots.

    I don't play at 4K all the time (usually just at the pleb 1080p) but it is possible to run FM6: Apex at 4K60 on high settings (the 1070 just gets crippled under ultra). FH3 is better at 4K30 (at ultra settings) for a more consistent experience.

    The 1070 is capable depending on the game of course. Wanted: WOF doesn't officially support 4K but it was selectable in the settings so I gave it a try. The only thing being some of the UI elements don't scale correctly such as the ammo pop up, it's way tiny on a 4K screen but fine at 1080p.

    I'm not really much into racing games, but if I had a display capable of it I might be tempted to get it just to make custom cars.

    What's your rating of this game for the following:

    Graphics
    Difficulty
    Fun Level

    10 is the highest, 1 is the lowest.

    Are you playing quake champions? If yes, who's better base on the 3 category mentioned above.

    Graphics - looks great, nice art style, doesn't feel like it's crippling the GPU. All settings in the video are at ultra and still playable.
    Difficulty - it's like Overwatch but with more skill required since it plays very differently to Overwatch.
    Fun Factor - you see me in the video dying a lot but also getting a few kills and assists in so I personally think it's fun even if I am dying heaps.

    Will probably end up grabbing it as an OW replacement.

    Maybe it's just that I'm not getting it (and I didn't have sound on) but it doesn't look like you're playing "blitzball" it just looks like random fragging.

    haha sorry I didn't watch the whole thing. I was trying to figure out how it was being played and came up blank. :)

    I really need to stop procrastinating and get a HOTAS or at least a flight stick for this game. It's nigh unplayable with a gamepad IMO.

    Couldn't agree more. I have a logitech 3dpro with over 3000 hrs of abuse that is apparently bulletproof. Once it breaks, Hotas it is. I have seen that the more money you spend on a stick the more likely it is to break. I know multiple people people on their third warthog, or third x-55.

    That makes me a little nervous. Haven't had a full flight setup since I was gaming on my dad's rig as a youngster and that was super solid (mostly metal). I'd ask him for it but I'm not sure he has it any more and I'm definitely sure it was some connector type I don't have an adapter for anyway.

    Dragon Age doesn't have the best textures but it still looks pretty good...

    Played it a while back, and my only visual complaint was that there were things that were shiny that didn't seem like they should be shiny. Don't see it in your images, so maybe they patched it?

    I admittedly don't have the details cranked to ultra for everything. Maybe that's it? I just have a couple things maxed to minimize the pop-in.

    That may be it. I suspected that there was a shiny layer and then another over the top that was failing to load, since it was only on a few things. I'll probably revisit it once I make a dent in my backlog.
