Forget GTA 5. Skyrim is still the king of pretty on PC

Ok, GTA 5, I know you're attractive and all and there's already plenty of GTA 5 PC mods but Skyrim can still one up you. Imgur user OrbitalDuck captured the below footage on his PC. Just look at the water. Mmm, so clear... I've never felt quite this way about digital H2O before. It feels like it should be a more private moment.

If you're wondering what PC wizardry this is, OrbitalDuck is running two GTX Titan graphics cards in SLI for double the graphical prowess and has installed this set of maximum graphics packs from Steam. However, bear in mind that if this is the Skyrim experience you want then it's not going to be cheap. Titan X graphics cards are currently retailing at around £900 each. But, the water... Right?

The video below from JamCheesy shows another beautiful display of the Natural Lighting and Atmospherics ENB.

This includes the below graphics and textures packs:

Natural Lighting and Atmospherics for ENB
Skyrim HD - 2K Textures
Realistic Water Two
Watercolor for ENB and Realistic Water Two
Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin
Unique Grasses and Groundcovers - Nature and Landscape Enhancement
Ultimate Lush Overhaul
