The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – “HD Retexture Landscape” marks a new age of visuals for Bethesda’s RPG

Morrowind Overhaul Version 2.0 Coming This Christmas
Posted on: 03 Dec 2011
Ah, Skyrim. Such an amazing game and yet we haven’t covered it in our performance analysis section. There is a reason to that and that’s obviously due to some mods that we are really looking forward to. Then again, our GTX295 is not powerful enough to handle most of the high-resolution textures so we’d be … Continue reading Morrowind Overhaul Version 2.0 Coming This Christmas
