So here are the benchmarks for my big bad new Alienware desktop (well, I tried to run them. They came up incomplete without the GPU or HDD (GPU is GTX 1080) Not sure why, and not sure quite how to read what was there). My question is that this machine should be more than adequate for T:ANE but I am curious about why it really doesn't look much better than my old laptop. It was a relatively slow i7 and an old NVidia 4xx I think. This new machine runs way more smoothly as far as framerates, so that is really nice, but there are screenshots by folks on here like Claus (cvo2010), DeadpoolMX55, felix_g and others that make T:ANE look as downright real as some of the best 2019 shots I have seen. I have maxxed out all of the settings I have found on the Main menu and on the Launch Window and mine still looks like - Well, like a simulation. I looked at the Environment settings but could not reconcile trying to change R,G, & B separately. I also have looked at the NVIDIA settings but don't really see anything there I understand very well, so I pretty much leave it default. Is there something I am missing to make T:ANE look its best? I am sure that route, time of day, choice of rolling stock and locos (weathered, etc.), angle and closeness, screen composition, weather, etc. all play a part, but I still think something is lacking....
I tried running these twice, I will try it again to see if I can get better answers for benchmark....
Got the benchmarks in paste-able format, but still incomplete with no explanation. But I did get the numbers below:
