Today we took a little break from coding at the office, kept the Creation Kit closed and decided to check out how far the Skyrim engine could be pushed until either our test rig blew up or Skyrim started its infinite series of crashes to desktop.
We removed the dust from our .ini tweaks, pushed the settings of our GTX580 to their limit, via the driver panel and we added a few selective mods in order to enhance some aspects of the game, that are not covered by RCRN... and... here are our results!

EDIT: You know what, I love seeing the graphics while listening to that song. I'm going to make a Skyrim Music Video for RCRN and that Song together! Just because it's so amazing!
