    any one with a laptop come here and post some screens of your games, say what the specs of your machine are as well as the general settings that you are using. I would go first but i dont have my laptop though i have decided what to get, i just need to pull all the money together to buy it.

    some on your marks, get set, post, post, post^^

    remember post only ONE screen shot of a game per a post.

    please follow these rules when posting a screenshot
    Thanx blackbird, for the helpful tips

    cool, Hellgate looks interesting what do you think of it, any good?

    also its okay to post more then one screen if you use the thumb tag thing like Shadowfate and Andygb40 used.

    Battlefield 2142

    1024 x 768, since I cant select any other resolution, and If I force wide screen image gets squashed. Everything max, no AA, specs in sig


    fps on the top left corner in red

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    EDIT:

    I also think it would be a good idea if users could state weather the screens were taken with the gpu overclocked or not and if they are willing to go the extra length; mention the drivers they are using. I say this because when some users claim they are running X on max settings without mentioning that they have overclocked the card, other users when they try game X on max settings will worry that their system is under performing. Same applies to drivers.

    So the above screenshots were without any overclocking and drivers used I cant remember.

    Had stalker before, un-installed as the shooting mechanics were horrible...it would take ages for the people to die as bullets never hit or the hits were not registered, never the less it ran perfect all high but on static lighting.

    Here is some Hl2 screens

    All max with 0 x AA 16 x AF @ 1680 x 1050


    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    EDIT:

    If you created this thread with another intention of seeing how your system would perform...then don't worry it will run currently run anything you throw at it. Personally I think its a bit overkill, how much is it costing you?

    Yes I had them larger originally but I had to compress the images to reduce the file size for posting. If you click on the pictures they will open up in another window and show a larger version of the jpg. This game is a very dark game I never really thought about it but most of the game is in dark or night settings. LOL ;)

    Yea, I did click on them...they are still small.

    I suggest for future posts you host your pics on a website like imageshack and post the forum thumbnail link generated here, put links side by side so they appear as if you had attached them instead of clogging up the whole page.

    Thats what I didnt like about FEAR, the environments were always the same

    I have the Orange Box (PC), brilliant package and no problems what so ever

    Game: Half Life 2 Episode 1 w/ Cinematic Mod

    System Specs: In signature

    Settings: All max, 2x AA, 2x AF

    Here's a few shots I quickly took from the beginning of Half Life 2: Episode 1. I'm using a mod called the cinematic mod which provides higher quality textures and models. Quality isn't as good as it should be because of jpeg compression but oh well.

    Oh no! Alyx!
    Wait a minute... where'd she get those clothes?

    [​IMG]
    Ooh, Dog looks pretty in that dark lighting.

    [​IMG]
    Smile for the camera!
    Or... maybe you shouldn't....

    [​IMG]
    Great, now Dog's getting camera shy!

    Screw the crowbar, I want that katana!

    Great game. Got really addicted to it, lots of action, looks great, too bad the SP only lasts about 10 hours.
    The MP isn't as good as the SP, and there aren't too many players/

    Yes, because there were a huge flow of threads whether their computer could play that game or not. There's really not a whole lot of post pictures threads.
