This is game from 2016 (9 years ago). Notice something?
im not a noticer, sorry
>>720743753I've said it before and I'll say it again. Graphics peaked in 2016.
>>720743753my god! windows still look the same here in the future! what the FUCK?
this game would run at 40fps with a 5080 if it came out today
>WAH THE MTX>WAH THE PREORDER BONUSES>WAH THE PR CAMPAIGN>WAH WAH WAH WAH WAHNow you're never getting another one.
>>72074444040fps**DLSS set to PERFORMANCE*Frame-generation ENABLED
>>720743753Notice what?
>>720743753When you see it you'll shit brix
>>720744614dumb anon probably thinks these shadows are raytracing.the idiot doesn't understand the difference between real time light refraction and this
>>720743753
adam jensen is a pig and never cleans up?
>>720743753Yeah the ugly scree space reflections. Shadow dithering. Glowing edges because of the simplistic rastered lighting. It's shows it's age.
>>720743753The unnatural non-rtx lighting?
>>720743753Yeah, I noticed it's a game from 2016
>>720745432These guys stealing computers every night from work (and returning them by morning), bringing them to a relatives lakehouse, blaring Slayer at 2am and subsisting on caffeine from soft drinks whilst having fun coding a game they wanted to make made one of the most influential games of all time and became millionairesIt's so sad to see how modern dev studios with hundreds of developers can't achieve a fraction of their greatness; I'm not a fan of the "SOUL/SOULLESS" meme, but this feels like the premier example of it
Ugly amounts of aliasing?
>>720743753>>720744440>>720744583i had a brand new gpu when this game came out and this game ran like shit, so idk what point you think youre making here.
>>720745623Not really, even with those boxes stacked around, those floors are spotless.
>>720745967People think hardware demanding games didn't exist a couple of years ago.
>>720743753Are those GOD RAYSWITHOUT RAY TRACINGAIYAA WHAT IS THIS BLACK MAGIC
>>720744440If that is Deus Ex Mankind Divided i need some help when i tried it game felt weird af like controls didnt feel like prev game at all and something seemed VERY wrong any way to fix that shit or ?
this game had god-tier atmosphere in prague
>>720746261Godrays are a volumetric light trick something you retards call anti-soul gas.
>>720743753No niggers, life was so much better

hmm...https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/deus-ex-mankind-divided-performance-analysis.225263/Forum posts were mostly people bitching about it being too heavy
>>720743753Mankind Divided was trash and ran like trash
>>720746895Turns out, nothing has changed at all.
>>7207468951440p was equivalent to 4k in 2016
>>720743753brown/orange color palletits terrible. Glad UE5 Lumen exists now
>>720743753Nibbas will really post images like this and say that video game graphics haven't got any better...
>>720746997wrongthose were at native resolutionsnow they expect us to accept even worse performance for no benefit
>>720746623Most of the "RAYTRACING BAD!" and "FAKE FRAMES!" group don't know enough about graphics to understand that pretty much every graphical setting is just some sort of "fake" trickanti-aliasing is "fake straight lines", anisotropic filtering is "fake texture perspective", bump maps and tesselation is "fake 3D polygons", etcI still remember when Serious Sam: The First Encounter was like black magic for how good it looked without being a performance hog, and pretty much all of that was down to really convincing tricks, or clever workarounds, more than anything else
>>720744440it did ran at 40fps back in the day, Denuvo didn't help as well
>>720746895this>>720747040I think back then I was still considering running things at 1080p a luxury (and even then usually at the cost of lowering some other graphics setting to get playable results)
>>720747040Doesn't make a difference. 980ti still not at 60fps
>>720747692could you post high settingsultra in md is retardedly hard to run even in present day
>>720747412B4 is about 48 fps average at 4k native.It's the same.

>>720743812Then why is it so dark?
>>720745967I played it fine with an RX 570.
>>720747957sorry anon but anything less than max settings at 4k native doesn't matter anymore Source : The 200 ragebait threads started every time a new game launches. Bonus if that one fat brownoid purposely trying to make the game stutter for a youtube video is featured.
>>720746789MK9 had better tits than that.
>>720747692I'm gonna play devil's advocate here a bit, but isn't the 9xx series to the 10xx series the biggest generational performance uplift in Nvidia's history?I still see people on tech forums praying for a new "pascal generation" of uplift, so I wouldn't say that a 9xx vs a 10xx comparison back then is even the same as a 40xx vs a 50xx today
>>720745432>>720745949the secret is to not be in it for the money
>>720743753There's no gameplay and that it's not finished and that the story sucks.
>>720748224and just like today i can play the newest games in 4k on my high end $900 gpu. the point is new games have always been hard to run it's not a new phenomenon.
>>720748323More accurate would be the only recent "massive" uplift that most people could actually afford. Like 3090 to 4090 was bigger than titan maxwell to titan pascal

>>720743753IIRC it ran like shit
I'm bored and love DXMD so will dump and indeterminate amount of screenshots.
>>720751829what method of aa are you running? any sharpening?
>>720751936That specific screenshot was taken using 8xmsaa solely for the purpose of the screenshot. Mostly I run TAA with a touch of sharpening.
>>720745949>These guys stealing computers every night from work (and returning them by morning)real?
>>720752025that's what I didit seemed to produce the best results which was surprising
>>720752117(me)>>720746321Any help Mankind man...............
>>720752152Watching the game eat like 14gb of vram in 2021 (which was when that screenshot was taken) was wild. Performance was horrific obviously.
>>720746321the dawn engine feels very sluggish, even at a super high framerate movement feels almost delayed in mankind divided no matter what you do
That lighting looks still and frigid.
>>720752327>btw your boss is a gay aussie>also australia had a civil war
>>720746716sovl
>>720743753desu I remember it being stuttery mess on my i5 3470 and HD7950, also the loading screens were bugged and could take like 5 minutes for no reasonyou look at this through rose-tinted glasses
>Deus ex after 1Miss me with that shit famalam
ITT: Poorfags who've never experience full HDR RTX Lighting max graphics acting like old lighting is better to cope with their shitty 10 year old computers.
Also playing the game on a HDD is pure suffering.>>720752471>btw your boss is a gay aussiebut wait, there's more!
>>720752371F i guess i will just power throught it which difficulty you rec for me to (re)start the game with ?
>>720752570I've experienced path tracing on a rtx 5080 and I'm only somewhat impressed
>Deus Ex Mankind Divided>Arkham Knight>Dishonored 2>PreySo ahead of their time.
>>720752613Give me deus ex
>>720752768but Prey actually ran well on release, unlike the other games
>>720750694I recently replaced it and the graphics aren't bad, but modern engines have an edge with RTX and DLAA.
>>720752327The graphical jump from HR to MD was pretty insane. In comparison HR looks like a borderline mobile game, you just don't get those kinds of leaps between sequels anymore.
>>720752768I wouldn't put prey on that list. Looks fairly average in most areas except maybe the crew quarters
>>720752768>So ahead of their time.Nigger, they're of their timegayming has just been stagnant for a decade
>>720752841It also didn't have denuvo I believe, hmm...
>>720752924forgot pic
time to replay MD i guess
>>720752753>/v/ calls this shit lighting
>>720752924The art team(s) well all out. The raw level of fidelity is crazy. See this for example - unreadable for most resolutions people played at in 2019 but now we can throw 4k at it we can read it clearly and this is just throwaway art!.
>>720752886This. MD's biggest graphical problem is the AA. MSAA is stupidly expensive and doesn't even resolve the jaggies and the game's TAA implementation is really blurry (also doesn't resolve all the jaggies) which is compensated by the very aggressive sharpening filter. The game would benefit heavily from DLAA...
>>720753029but muh realtime reflections!
>>720753094post some more A Criminal Past
>>720752458Yeah uh, devs? Maybe don't do this?
>>720752753this looks amazing
>>720753180I really don't have many more from it and certainly not any interesting ones.
>>720753172>the panels changing lighting also affects the reflections, cars and the bridge to the leftUhh.... I thought this wasn't supposed to be possible without RTX™?
>>720753231Human rights are problematic.
>>720753316it has such an unusual design
>>720753396remember seeing this for the first time and just audibly going what the fuck
>>720752924>In comparison HR looks like a borderline mobile game'member The Fall?
>>720751829>>720751909Game still looks good
>>720753503we uh we don't talk about that round here
>>720753396I've found that disabling the in-game sharpening setting and forcing sharpening through the Nvidia control panel instead yields pretty good results (I run 35% sharpening at 1440p).
MD felt a little overdesigned to me. HR was perfect
>is a complete and utter bitch>is a glowie tooStill, she has a comfy office.>>720753470Viewing that pic on my oled is eye searing. I love it.
>>720753172>>720751829dxmd is a great example of a game that is really demanding (or was, on release) yet it justified the hardware requirements with amazing visuals. It looks so fucking good. Artists and programmers both did a great job
>>720753618how does the lighting look soo good in this game?
>>720753569MD definitely felt more extravagant but I just chalked it up to it being set in an old european city
I will admit most of my screenshots are from night prague as it does look a LOT better at night (well, nearly every urban area in any vidya does because lmao human eyes, but still).
>>720753768daytime prague probably turned a lot of people off the game music isn't as good, quests aren't quite as interestingthen you do allison's quest at night and it's like holy shit
>>720753740All baked and there is no dynamic time of day. See also: mirrors edge.>>720753754How MD present prague isn't that far off from any of the old major cities in the world today. Place like london and paris have the latest and greatest buildings of gleaming glass and steel next to stone architecture that has been there for hundreds of years. In a previous MD thread some anons - who I assume to be mostly burgers - said the setting is stupid because there is no way anyone would keep old buildings around when the space could be served with new ones.
>>720754160>mankind just expired>aug uprisingkek
>>720753920The ambience of the OST is top tier. Makes for some great relaxing listening.
>MD is le heckin' good actuallylmao kill yourself, unironically
>>720754215Enjoy your trough, aug.
>>720754345It was always good. Shame it's only half a game though and the franchise has seemingly been put on ice, perhaps for good.
I can imagine myself sitting here on a crisp morning drinking some tea or coffee.
>>720754345>boomer nigger only plays games from 1999 and refuses to say anything nice about games made after 2005go fuck yourself
>>720754345Always was, neck yourself contrarian.
>>720754450Looking back, they laid this whole "augs go to the back of the bus" allegories really thick with this game. I mean it was in HR too to some extent but nowhere near in your face like this.
>>720754454Maybe other anon needs to read a copy of this.
>>720754610people on both sides of the fence were criticising them. a game like this would probably not be possible today
>>720754610Best part is that is a brainlet filter. The augs as 2nd class citizens isn't even the main point of the game but midwits only saw that.
yum yum yum
>>720754758Got them a lot of free publicity though, 'member Aug Lives Matter?
>>720754450I can't quite explain it well but the game looks.. sorta weird? Like its new or foreign or special, I never saw a modern game that looks like this before, it looks good in a specific way
>>720754928you guys think i could pull off jensen's coat?
>>720755069Have you got knife arms?
>>720755139i got noodle arms. does that count
>>720754915I would posit that the art style is very grounded. The buildings look like actual real buildings rather than the movie take on them. Obviously the future stuff is out there but the style they use can be see in some crazy buildings that exist today. Like the shards are just essentially some super material engineering (to handle the overhang) away from being built today.>>720755069You're not that cool.
>>720755178No. So no.
As far as I can tell there are no slices of pizza in the game. Plenty of pizza boxes but no way to see them open.

>>720744440it actually ran like shit when it released, zoomie
With renodx you can inject HDR into the game as well which is nice.
>>720755560lmao it didnt, you were just a faggot with a shit PChttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXVljGD-Aiwactually you probably still are that
>>720755905>digital shilleryopinion discarded
>>720755560It was well-optimised in concordance to its graphical prowess. The devs' only mistake was including MSAA which brainlets turned on without realising how badly it works with deferred rendering
I always found this terrace comfy - reminds me of a fun night out I had once. Sitting under the heat lamps at midnight with friends while drinking was top comfy.
how the HELL do i get deus ex 1 to run?

>>720756387That sounds like an excuse to me. Cleanliness is next to godliness.
She was totally gagging for jensen right?
>>720752886>but modern engines have an edge with RTX and DLAA.No, they don't.
>>720756191>>720756190ß?
>>720756485You just reminded me of Chikane and whatever happened there.
should i play invisible war? i tried it once and gave up like 3 hours in but now i wanna give it another chance because i'll probably be dead before another deus ex game comes out>>720752768>Dishonored 2i remember it looking like shit when i played it since DOF kept turning itself on, and because your only antialiasing options are TAA or FXAA. it's a shame too, everything else about it looks great
>>720752471Also, the faction working for the Australian government in the civil war, which is fighting the Chinese backed rebels, also has a contract with China to police the streets of Hengsha.
>>720756720sorry I don't speak nazi

>>720757491Would you link to talk about it?
Remember if you send the theatre woman to the gulag you can find her next to a dirty mattress surrounded by used condoms.
>>720757573My lawyer advises 'no comment'
>>720757947A shame. Still my door is open whenever you need to talk.

>>720758694I am salty how he died. It is clear rucker's involvement was massively cut to shit just so they could get a finish with marchenko.
Everyone should play this with the HUD set to auto hide and the radar off.
>>720752586I played it on a dying raid 0 partition. I would spend 10 minutes in loading screens to go to the other side of prague. I was minmaxing mission objectives and other stuff I wanted to do in order to avoid spending eons loading
>>720758264It was one of the art design philosophies in both Eidos Montreal games, they used clutter as means to make the environments appear realistic, lived-in. The original Deus Ex is just too barren of assets and props, none of the environments look remotely believable, despite being a great immersive sim. So the art team sought to rectify that by making the environments super cluttered, specially offices, like Pritchard's and Jensen's offices in Human Revolution, Jensen's apartment in Mankind Divided, TF-29's hideout, etc.

how come i could play Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 with a gtx 1070 on ultra smooth as fucking butter at 60 but modern games with my 3070 that look fucking worse and perform worse cannot? people play modern games with modern cards and they cant even run smoothly. why the actual fuck is this supposed to be acceptable? meme technology like lumen that adds absolutely nothing that rapes performance is not acceptable. why cant games just look like and run like battlefield 1 and titanfall 2? what the actual fuck more do you need?
>>720758993I wish we had a director's cut like HR. Not for gameplay changes but for the commentary as that was fascinating to listen to.
>>720743753no pride flags?
>>720751000what modern game looks better?
The high jump aug is absolutely essential to get the most out of the game. A lot of places you can explore require it to reach.

>>720743753uh, prebaked lighting?
>>720761551And that lowers the amount of power it uses how? If anything why doesn't it let you reach even the standard 4.5gz boost rate?
>>720743753looks like the sun is casting shadows in 2 directions
>>720762608A cooler chip draws less power for a fixed amount of work done.> If anything why doesn't it let you reach even the standard 4.5gz boost rate?Max boost of 4.5ghz is intended for only when a few cores a loaded unless you have the power and thermal headroom free (which I do). Plus the monitoring software is not precise enough to capture the points where it does hit 4.5ghz, 4.4ghz is just what it logs on all cores.
>>720762972Yeah, you are not using less than 50% of the normal power while at normal temperatures. Not how that works.
>>720751702Is that a Mars Volta reference?
>>720746789Yep, that's Maciej's wife alright.
i tried to play Mankind Divided right after HR and couldn't help but feel like it was a massive downgrade, especially aesthetically. Couldn't bring myself to take it seriously after that. Going to give it another shot

PRAISE UNTO FLASH MEDIA
>>720743753now that game magazines are gone does anyone even talk about game technology these days? Not so long ago developers were pushing the limits of 3d visuals and only topped by CG in movies. Every generation was a new type of software that developers would show off that had games looking and running better. We used to be aware of multiple game engines and most still made in house. I feel like games being an interdisciplinary collaboration that created a playable art piece has been bastardized by an ever growing mobile audience and standardization of everything from UI to game controls and tropes. We've already seen the best versions of so many game systems that now we only get something that actually pushes the medium forward once or twice a year, maybe only once every 5 years in the main stream. It's just such a shame it turned out this way.

>>720772792>Privacy lawsHAHAHA fucking joke
>>720743753yeah, it looks like shit
>>720745967the best part is that this game STILL runs like shit today even on modern hardware
>>720772792Didn't they all start crying about this when Baldur's Gate 3 came out?
>>720753006>let's compare the 4k screenshots running at max settings with 1080p running at medium/low settingsYes MD looks much better but you are being disingenuous
>>720773758>t. retarded msaa user
>>720774198No anon it runs like shit even without msaa

>>720745018You are the one paying thousands of dollars for """real time light refraction""" like it's not some meaningless faggot buzzword you ate up.You are in no position to call literally anyone else "dumb"
>8x msaa>still doesnt get rid of jaggies>runs worse than a modern game at quality modethank god devs embraced TAA and abandoned forward meme
>>720745967You probably were CPU bottlenecked
>>720776259MSAA was always doomed even in forward rendering engines. The computational cost (along with memory requirements) as resolutions climbed meant it was always going to die. The only good MSAA is the crazy shit being used in forza horizon (and I assume motorsport) which is a different beast entirely.
>>720743753it looks good because it's an interior location with extra work put into making it look good because of its importance
>>720743753The plasticky surfaces?
>>720776656OK?Does that in any way cancel out the fact that modern games require exponentially more resources to run and you get much, much less in return?
>>720776970Just saying that interiors are easy to make look good and run well, and it's even better if the developers put in more time working on that particular interior.Smaller locations in general are easier performance/graphics wise, and the trend in games these days is to make environments bigger and more complex, if not open world entirely, and doing away with loading screens. That shit has a cost.But developers being over ambitious in that regard, or slacking in optimization and just counting on DLSS to make up the difference is a genuine problem.
>>720777702Fair enough.
>>720776217 Absolutely this. Half these clowns will drop three grand on a 4090 Ti Ultra Mega Founder's Edition just to enable reflections in a puddle that gets walked over in the first five seconds of the level, but god forbid someone else enjoys a stylized game with basic lighting. "Real time GI" my ass-meanwhile the gameplay is still a checklist of chores. Techbros got no taste, just benchmarks and buzzwords.
>>720743753should i give it another try?
what techniggers dont understand foremostly that mimicking reality is the most boring you could do anyway. you can do anything in games but you chose to do nothing. lets have some more walk through the woods sims
>>720743753Bad lighting?
>>720743753Yeah looks like it not really all that impressive desu
>>720780770Where?
>>720745967I played it on a laptop with dedicated graphics
>>720780896Entire image looks flat. Cyberpunk in comparison
DXMD and Human Revolution had me in an obessive bind for a good year I thought Adam Jensen was the coolest guy ever
>>720781413>I thought Adam Jensen was the coolest guy everYou were right.
