Pinpoint IQ – Zoomed IQ Screenshots

Using the same screenshots that we showed on the previous page, this time around we are going to crop two places in them as well as offer 200% enlarged versions of them.  For our detailed looks, I focused on the shadows under the crouching shooter (as well as the shadows that appear from the palm tree behind him) and on the detail of the gun in the player’s hand.  Let’s see what the 64-bit version gives us.

Both the 32- and 64-bit versions show a blob shadow under the shooter but nothing from the tree behind him.  If you didn’t notice before, you can definitely see the addition of the stone tree border behind the shooter in this up close image.

Here we begin to see the shadow take form both under the shooter and to the right of him, where the tree shadow is very lightly seen.  Neither version really stands out from the other here.  Again the grass and stone border appear only in the 64-bit version and that their texture quality is enhanced from a blurry grey stone to more finely detailed stone in NORMAL settings.

Gun detail has increased here in NORMAL mode, but the differences between 32- and 64-bit are not seen.  The same stone border around the tree is seen in this crop as well.

The shadows in the HIGHEST detail mode are pretty impressive here, with good definition under the shooter as well as individual leaf shadows from the palm tree behind the shooter.  The character detail has increased as well, but both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions are showing the same improvements.  The stone border around the tree and little bit of grass are still only in the 64-bit version of the game, though everything else between the two versions is identical, down the shadows and texture levels.

Gun detail reaches its peak on both 32- and 64-bit versions of Shadow Ops and the palm tree shadows are very clean in both 32- and 64-bit versions.
