Skyrim Comparison Screenshots explosion.

[GM Fright]

So I had to fight with steam for a bit to get it to work again on my old computer, but here's the screenshots.

Keep in mind that my old computer is not nearly as powerful as my new computer, and its graphics settings were only between medium and high, more or less, so that exaggerates the differences a bit. However, it's impossible to overstate the visual quality difference this stuff has made to my game, not to mention the gameplay and immersion aspects (some of which you'll also be able to see in the screenshots). Many of the screenshots are easy to recreate on your own for your own comparisons.

I did my best on my new computer to recreate the screenshots that I had taken on my old computer, and I think they all turned out pretty accurately. I also took a TON more (about 47 more...) on the new computer to show you other things.

I'm simply going to post the old ones, then the new comparison ones, then the new extra ones separately, because I've been screwing with this for over 3 hours already, and ain't nobody got time for that!


Also, I numbered them to help with comparing a bit. Do the whole "Open Image In New Tab" thing for quick comparisons and such, as if you probably didn't know to do that already...
