Well I don't want pure militaristic grey shooters.I wan't games that looks pretty, Metro 2033's face textures looks pretty bad game is solid though. Crysis 2 is in the list and so is Crysis 1.

Battlefield 3 and Skyrim are some pretty good looking games that come to mind. Really not that many demanding games out right now. Far Cry 3 and Hitman will be out in a month.

Metro 2033 @ 1920x1080 will bring any rig to its knees .. Yes faces are ugly .. but the lights and fogs will do the show-off part :)

The Witcher 2 if you really want to push it to it's limits. Metro 2033 and Crysis are actually quite tame when it comes to their graphics.

I think 4 680s/7970s would handle it.

Total War: Shogun 2 on max, with huge armies. Remember to have darthmod installed, and i personally recommend Fall of The Samurai (Standalone expansion) because it's a lot more fun imo

no offensive, but that rig is barely above middle end at best, and metro2033, crysis2 vanilla might be too much for 7850, so you need look for something like skyrim + enb or risen2 etc.

Crysis is the only game you need to show off your rig, i don't care if you don't like the game or you already have it and played through it. When this game is up and running it converts dirty console peasants instantly.

You're on the Pinto of PC gaming rigs. What exactly are you trying to show off? How extremely frugal you can be?

I play Metro 2033 maxed at 1920x1080 on a single 6950 (except physX ofc) and it plays perfectly fine. Not a solid 60fps but if you have a debatable average gaming pc you can't complain.

Metro 2033. Its pretty good at melting PC's. Perhaps also Crysis 2 with Dx11 and the high res textures.

People also use BF3 to show off these days, since it has the pretty Frostbite 2 Engine and all.

true enough, but if you want to put your new rig through its paces then you're better off with Crysis 2 and mods.

Guys, should I crossfire 7850 or get a more expensive card?
