Need Elder Scrolls: Skyrim screenshots

W1zzard · Nov 19, 2011, 09:11 AM

I'm adding Skyrim to our VGA benchmarks, so I need a pretty image as header for that benchmark section.

like:

or:

Please post some nice screenshots here, in high resolution, so I can do some cropping.

Edit: I'll remove any GUI and add the logo myself, just post your unprocessed screenshots of nice scenes that you think reflect the game very well.

jagjitnatt · Nov 19, 2011, 09:38 AM

How about these??? Or do you need in game screenshots in particular?

Black Panther · Nov 19, 2011, 09:53 AM

How about using the one in my avatar W1zzard?

jagjitnatt · Nov 19, 2011, 10:00 AM

^^^^^ Last one look brilliant

fenurch · Nov 19, 2011, 10:14 AM

In the unlikely chance of you wanting these, let me know and I'll get super high textured versions.

Thanks. If I knew how, I'd have photoshopped the dragon from the 2nd picture in it, and it'd be much better.

Mussels · Nov 19, 2011, 11:21 AM

i took a few, lets see what i can find.

i'll TPUcapture them for now, can upload full res if needed.

Here is an intro shot, could be good.

And one with dragons near the beginning that everyone should be able to recognize.

Black Panther · Nov 19, 2011, 11:51 AM

@ W1zzard

If you're going to benchmark this game for the VGA reviews please note that it isn't optimised for SLI / CF yet.

I get higher fps using Radeon Pro and disabling one GPU core, and there's a thread on the official forums with people having the same problem on 5970 and 6990 cards.

Hopefully this will be addressed either with new vga drivers or with the 1.2 game patch which is going to be released the week after Thanksgiving.

As an example, here's one of the places where I get my most lowest fps:

Using 5970 CF:

Spoiler

Using only one GPU of 5970:

Spoiler

Using 11.11a hotfix (afaik also uses one GPU)

Spoiler

Mussels · Nov 19, 2011, 11:54 AM

Random's intro shot on the horse/carriage looks quite good.

I don't know how to upload anything, no matter the size

every time I upload a screenshot it will come on the post as a thumbnail; I need a step by step guide for dummies.

1Kurgan1 · Nov 19, 2011, 02:15 PM

Well, just spent a good amount of time collecting some great screens for this that I think I will be doubling as desktops for myself!

The 4th one, is awesome!
I'd be using it as a desktop myself if I didn't have the map of Skyrim as desktop (I bought the game from Steam, meaning no map and a map on the desktop is handy.)

I agree. That 4th pic is epic. It is my new desktop.

Darkleoco · Nov 19, 2011, 06:03 PM
