Skyrim Screenshots. 4 times max graphics. :D

I play Skyrim on occasion, and I decided to take some screenshots in game. These are all unedited, and I use some of them as wallpapers because I feel that they look that good. I use a lot of graphics mods and have everything set to highest possible graphics quality.

I have mods that:
- Increase the texture quality of everything to 4 times vanilla resolution.
- Increase the texture quality of rocks specially to 16 times vanilla resolution.
- Increase the quality, variety, and amount of trees, grass, and other flora.
- ENB Lighting mod that has a focusing blur.
- A few mods that make water almost looks real, even when you jump around in it.
- many others

Other things:
- few .ini tweaks to force graphics beyond Ultra quality
- All settings maxed.

This couldn't be possible to run realtime. Either record it, show to us that its playable. Whenever I make renders such as these, with max / Vray, it requires more then second and minutes to render, with that I would need to photoshop a lot of this as well.

As for the mods, I highly doubt mods are able to increase it to this level. The engine couldn't support this physic lvl, so I doubt mods would. You can make textures better yourself, but 4 times as big? Give me one of the textures of a house, I'm interested in the res and quality. Also, more variation? they'd had to add custom trees their selves. The pink flowers, thistles I believe, are very ugly in the bottom, but have a few very high res blooms on them, so the mods only particially makes things look better. Besides that the butterflies look photoshopped.

Don't get the wrong idea, it would be awesome, I just don't believe this could be possible with this engine.

Lol I assure you that I am indeed running on these graphics. Vanilla Skyrim textures are 512x512. I downloaded the 2K Textures mod found in the link below. They allow for 2048x2048 texture quality, and replaces a lot of textures all throughout skyrim.

here are some 4096x4096 resolution textures for rocks.

This is the main mod I use that does a lot of the work. I'm using the "Extreme config" recommended for screenshots only. I still get about 20-25 FPS playing on this config anyway, so I say it's worth keeping it. Only thing is, some loading screens make me wait about 5 minutes if the zone is big enough.

I'm not going through all of them, but those are all very good mods. None of the images above are photoshopped or touched in any way; however, I believe I was using the console command "tfc 1" to stop time and toggle on the freeroaming camera. I do this to get the best screenshots possible. I don't any video capturing software, but I have a 13 megapixel camera on my phone, so perhaps I can shoot the video from there. I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: I downloaded Fraps and took about 13 minutes of video @ ~15-20 frames per second. After all the exporting and maneuvering, the video quality has slightly decreased; however I am uploading it to youtube now. It will take about 40 minutes to upload lol.

EDIT: Posted video in the original post.

Pretty impressive. I wonder how that all is possible with the engine. I still don't think its playable, for things such as combat etc. I'm really amazed the water works that well, even with the rain.

Whats your setup?

For those that are interested, I also have morrowind super-overhauled, and here are some screenshots. Of course, morrowind isn't going to have "impressive" graphics for 2013 stands because the game is like 10+ years old. Nevertheless of course, these graphics are RIDICULOUS for morrowind.
