I'm just curious where we are in games right now. What currently is the most demanding PC Game, or some of the most? I know it use to be Crysis...but not so much anymore. Basically CPU and GPU. I don't really care about RAM, because nowadays it's probably wise to get a computer with a minimum of 4 GB and on up, anyway.

So, after some looking around, I'm going to go with Metro 2033. Anyone got anything else?
 
crysis and metro 2033 are still the most demanding games. the new 3dmark11 might be a system killer but its not a game
 
crysis.. as in the newest one right? isn't there a few addons now?

I might have to try Metro.. I accidently threw out my coupon code with my gfx card..

Metro 2033
Stalker COP

That's all I can think of this early...

You need to pick up Operation Arrowhead turn everything up and max the view distance. AO taxes my system much more then vanilla ARMA2.
 
Does Metro get more demanding after the first big monster fight? I have only had time to play to that part but my 4870 didn't have much trouble. I didn't use aa though.

Definitely for the CPU. Turning traffic/details/view distance all the way up can bring an uber-system to it's knees.
That said, I'd also say that GTA4 with things cranked up doesn't scale the same way Crysis does. 1/2 details looks a LOT closer to full with GTA4, while Crysis improves a lot more.

You also aren't able to use any DX11 features with that card. Tesselation and advanced depth of field are pretty taxing.
 
Shattered Horizen, Futuremarks attempt at a game is a system killer. It's also not that great of a game though, it has a cool concept but is lacking in details and variety.
 
Shattered Horizon is pretty brutal, but any game at 5720x1200 I have to turn off AA and texture settings, damn 1GB video card
 
Id say that right now Metro 2033 and GTA4 are the hardest to run. Crysis afterward. Metro 2033 @ max settings is killer.
 
The game that gets my cards the hottest is titan quest... gets them up to 95c. metro is only 90 max in a hot room. Not sure why... might be like the menus in an unpatched starcraft II :D
 
LOL at Titan Quest. That game full-on killed a Geforce 6-series card of mine a few years ago. It ended up actually melting the thermal paste off of it.
 
Phew, I didn't recall posting to this thread in recent memory, and suddenly there it was.
 
So this is what we're doing not, bumping really old threads?

Okay then, Giants Citizen Kabuto @ 1280 x 960 KILLS my Geforce 2 GTS
 
I was actually curious about what current games (2016/2017) are the most demanding... we all know nothing can run Crysis :rolleyes:
 
I am sure everyone here means Crysis 3 right? The original Crysis can run on anything nowadays. Crysis 3 struggled for me a little.

I would also like to add Ghost Recon Wildlands to the mix b/c it seems to be pretty demanding for me at 4K (but more games are).
