This is a mod that has some controversy, but all the controversy comes from people who never bothered to configure the mod or try it at all. The screenshot above shows the unmodded game on top, and Cinematic Mod 2013 on the bottom.

It single handedly is one of the utmost impressive graphics mods for any game. Half-Life 2 was one of the absolute best looking games at the time of its release in 2004, but it’s hard to resist Cinematic Mod once you’ve actually tried it (especially considering it’s compatible with MMod). Mods Used: FakeFactory’s Cinematic Mod 2013 DOOM 3 BFG with these mods ends up with lighting quality and shadows that surpass many early 2010s games (even unmodded they give the 2011 Skyrim a run for its money) and some of the nicest texture work you’ll see. In fact, its lighting system still does things most engines don’t do today, like blend multiple different lighting colors to create a new color (rainbow effect). What makes this modded DOOM 3 even more timeless is the fact that it was one of few games to exclusively use dynamic lighting, and did so without suffering large areas of unwanted pitch darkness (unlike F.E.A.R.) due to its intelligent art design and superior lighting system. With that said, Wulfen Texture Pack is one of the very best texture mods ever made for any game in terms of sheer quality and art design (they’re not AI upscaled original textures). Still, the other mods in this article have far more complete texture replacements.
Many are left untouched, although DOOM 3 textures look fine to this day and they were nearly unparalleled in 2004.
These mods would score higher on this list if the texture mods covered more of the game’s textures. History lesson aside, DOOM 3: BFG Edition has overall better graphics mods than the original game, even though there’s a community made Vulkan renderer for the original. id Tech 4 was definitely the prettiest for indoor environments (followed by UE2.5), had the most advanced lighting system of the bunch as well as the best shadows and I’d say the best overall optimization, but the fact that frame rate is tied to sounds and physics in so many of those games ruins it.

Unreal Engine 2.5 was my overall favorite at the time, and it aged very well with no issues in Windows 10 21H2 and perfect compatibility with OpenAL Soft. Source engine of course has the best long term support of the three, which continues to this day, 18 years later at the time of this writing. Never before and never again has there been such a competitive, innovative engine battle in gaming! Don’t forget the original CryEngine was also from this time period, and can even be thrown into the mix. The year 2004 was a battle between three technologically bleeding edge giants: id Tech 4 ( DOOM 3), Source ( Half-Life 2), and Unreal Engine 2.5 ( Unreal Tournament 2004). Renderer: OpenGL both original and moddedĪlthough DOOM 3: BFG Edition was released in 2012, by default it is graphically the same as the original 2004 game, but has some technological benefits like the ability to run at frame rates beyond 60. Mods Used: RBDOOM3-BFG, Wulfen Texture Pack, and Hi Def mod

We are not limiting each selection to just one mod, since typically to achieve the best graphics in a game you will use multiple graphics mods together. For example, a 2010s AAA game with a nice ReShade preset looks better than heavily modded DOOM running on an impressive source port, but that doesn’t make the ReShade preset a more impressive modification. We are judging the mods not based on their final graphics quality, rather we are judging how far the mods have pushed the graphics compared to the original game, and how many features they add. More specifically, we have compiled a list of the top 7 most impressive set of graphics mods we have seen for any game. When a game is heavily moddable, graphics mods are usually some of the less significant mods for said game, with gameplay mods and total conversions being more significant and important, but in this article we are focusing purely on graphics mods. Plus, these older titles are often better in every way besides static graphics compared to their modern counterparts, so often times this is the only thing they are missing. After all, why not? Just about every game that has graphics mods has at least one that brings universal improvement over the original graphics while retaining the original art style.

When it comes to playing older PC games, one of the first things a seasoned gamer will look for is graphics mods for the game.
