DX10 Landscape Shots

[Stormwaltz]

I'm addicted to taking screenshots. I've been playing LotRO for about a year now, and in that time I've taken over 1000.

I'm running 1600x1200 with every graphical setting in the game maxed. System specs:

Processor: Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 8GB Corsair XMS2 RAM
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4870

First, three shots that show what DX10 has to offer over DX9.

Distant landscape lighting:



Soft water transitions:



Dynamic landscape shadows (you don't get the full effect in a still screenshot, you need to see the tree branch shadows rocking over a field of waving grass to appreciate how much it adds):

Each time I log in, I'm amazed at how beautiful Middle Earth is,
and your screenshots prove it beyond doubt.

Thank you.

These are wallpaper quality, better than the ones Turbine offers even. Now just to chose which one I want to use..lol.

After viewing your screenshots I have to admit a touch of envy over your system. Magnificent views. Hopefully, I will be able to upgrade my system soon.
