An enthusiast called K-putt has used a hacked Crysis 3 executable to run the game at 8K — and I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that the resultant screenshots are probably the most beautiful examples of real-time computer-generated graphics that I’ve ever seen. Crysis 3 at 8K looks so good that you could be mistaken for thinking that these screenshots are hand-drawn concept art — but in fact they’re straight out of the engine.

Reactions: consolewarz and DLC
Curious, how we are supposed to see these right when nobody has an 8K monitor/TV ? When you look at it full screen on my 1080P monitor, it actually looks worse than the game at 1080P. Might look better if they downsampled from 8K to 1080P/1440P.

Yeah, they look like just like any old picture to me.
