Most graphically demanding games out now/near future for PC?

[Iactus]

not really a well though pattern as it has a massive exception in that lego star wars is a TWIMTBP game, and thats not really demanding at all

it doesnt look nice, and its a crappy console game....

IMO Supreme Commander or Red Faction-Guerrilla are more demanding than AvPIII

Red Faction Guerrilla ? lol. That game was anything but demanding for me. It ran faster than Superman. too damned fast. And I'm not talking about the FPS. The gameplay itself ran like hell. And thats with everything maxed out, with VSynq on, on 1080p. with a mere GTX 465.


I mentioned AvP because it was the only DX11 I've tried beside Metro and Dirt2.

Crysis with high resolution texutre pack, high resolution foliage, high resolution grass, ccc custom config and time of day mod looks spectacular without much performance loss. With ccc extreme settings it runs badly on my 6950 unlocked (< 20fps in many areas)! Of course the graphical quality difference between very high and extreme is only minimal but the performance loss is disproportionate.

ArmA2

With latest patches, it still runs like crap with 100% settings

Demands a fast proc

I still say Shogun II,

it can use 2gb of vram,

and on a 6950 / GTX 570 it only averaged 20fps give or take in DX11 at 1080P takes 2 gpus to get regular 35-45fps and thats not counting actually maxing the settings or using AA, or increasing unit sizes lol

Id say GTA IV, my current c0mp runs crysis highest no AA/AF at around 40fps 1366x768
but GTA IV, which is IMO a badly optimized game with memory leak and everything runs at ~25fps at 50% view distance/quality settings

1. Crysis
2. Metro 2033
3. Shogun II
4. GTA IV Series
5. Aliens vs Predator 2 (Don`t need a decent DX11 card to run at max settings)

I'd put world in conflict up there too when there's a lot of unit sin the game.

LOVE YOUR PIC!! bsg for the win. Sorry for the unrelated topic. But I think crysis 2 isn't the system killer we all had anticipated it to be. Maybe try GTA IV. Heard that was a shitimized game.

Duke Nukem Forever
Deus Ex (when it's out)
Prey 2 (when it's out)
the latest and the greatest Need for Speed or DIRT

Duke Nukem Forever

Maybe he's never checked the non v-sync frame rate.

Shogun 2 is still the most demanding that ive come across

it drops my system to its knees at maximum settings

when upping the battle modifier its possible to get 20,000-30,000 40,000 man battles all with high res texture normal maps, and it runs DX11 with tessellation on castles walls and the terrain Metro 2033, Crysis 2 DX11 etc all run better then Shogun 2 when talking about graphic demand. there wont be anything that comes out any time soon to displace Shogun 2 for that matter either. The game needs a 1.5gb - 2gb framebuffer just to keep the game from auto downgrading settings in battle to fit within the frame buffer.

Get a 3D Monitor and play some 3D capable games.
There's an awful lot out of 3D capable games surprisingly.

From what I have been taking in, Battlefield 3 will be rather demanding. Starcraft 2 can be at times along with Shogun II.

BF3 will be once all the effects are added and you can really customize them. SC2 on the other hand is pretty easy to run as long as you have a decent CPU. I could max it out on my Q6600 and the only times I lagged was during a TD with like 1000 mobs on the screen. Since I got my 2500k and played a handful of games that problem no longer exists.
