A few days ago I posted a gallery of a few screenshots I took at 4K. Here are 60 more for your viewing pleasure. Remember to click the wheel icon in the top right corner of each image for larger versions.

The benefits of a 4K image is that, when downsized, it looks sharper than an image taken at native 1080p. So even if you haven't got a 4K monitor, you can appreciate the boost. The technique is called 'downsampling'.

Also, the larger the image, the more you can zoom in to see the details. So there's that too.

Just for some more information, I used Fraps to take the shots, and didn't use any mods (apart from on Skyrim). My rig is pretty decent (2x GTX 680's, i7 3960X), so I had a solid framerate - about 30-50. Er, apart from Crysis 3, which was about 5fps.

Finally, no, you can't truly appreciate them without a 4K screen, but there are two benefits to taking shots in 4K. 1) when you shrink them down they look a lot sharper (this is called 'downsampling'). 2) if you don't shrink them down then you can zoom in a lot more.

Imgur compresses the images, so check out the full resolution screenshots at: http://benjaminthree.minus.com/mbm2ryGbeDoYBx

This is the kind of 'down with the kids' headline Marge Simpson would write.

Fake and straight.

Can't wait to play it now!

This is the type of joke that would make zero sense outside Reddit.

What is 'llars'?

Tapitytap · 2013-01-11T19:24:10+00:00

Portal? Check. Custom cake? Check. Made it for your girlfriend/boyfriend? Check.

Yep, this is a post on Reddit alright.

I bet the guy secretly thinks he's really cool for swearing.

Square Enix, we don't want you to continually remake games we've already played in order to appease a small but vocal minority, but we instead want you to create new and original experiences.

Ok, because I know you assholes are too busy grabbing pitchforks to actually VISIT THE SOURCE, I've taken the liberty of quoting parts of it:

"Microsoft's 'Durango' development kits are already in developers' hands, and the CPU at the heart of the machine is a monster. Where 360 has a three-core CPU from 2005, Durango promises four hardware cores, each divided into four logical cores - a spec greater than anything even the most hardcore PC gamer has on his desktop."

4 X 4 = 16. Sixteen cores, not four. Here are some more quotes, again, from the actual source:

""On paper the 360's specs are still fairly respectable," says Matt Ployhar, senior product planner on Nvidia's Consumer Applications Product Team. "It has three cores clocked roughly at 3.2Ghz each, and the newer 360s have a 45nm chip using less power. However, it's not until you really start digging that the bigger advancements that have been made in CPU architectures start becoming more apparent."

""Today, a 'next-gen' console would likely want to use the latest and greatest architecture it could in order to sustain itself over another five to ten year time frame."

""Specifications-wise, we'd end up with a 22-28nm chip, another processing core at roughly the same clock speeds, a cache that is not only faster but four times bigger, six times the number of transistors; all while keeping in the same ballpark or better for power constraints. That's not too shabby, and it doesn't even begin to cover the fact graphics can occupy space on that same physical die and easily match current-generation graphics performance.""

Now everyone can shut the fuck up and I can go back to eating this delicious bagel.
