Well people talk about how they have not invented a computer that can max Supreme commander with the thousands of units that end up being built. but maybe they were full of it.
Maybe, but Sup Com still, because of the sheer scale of things...its easy to tell its definetely up there amongst, say, the top 5 hardest games to run on max. If not that game then i would say Oblivion and Company of Heroes. With Company of Heroes, zoom in with the camera so that your level with the battleground while there is a big fight going on...then see how much your frames drop.
Yes, run supreme commander skirmish with 3 AI's on a large map with all the graphics maxed out. Don't attack the Ai's right away and let them build a bit. After you have build several hundred units and a few experiementals then run them head on into some of the AI defenses. Zoom in to watch the battle. Your machine will certainly be tested!!!!

Well I think if you bring in a few AI players there is no computer built that can handled SC's capability if you push to thousands of units built. The AI opponents almost require duel core processors even with just one or two AI's. SC just really pushes boundries as most good battles are easily 300+ units on each side. It's actually amazing the game plays as well as it does given the scale.
Hardest game to run, hmm. Wouldn't that be Utima 7 with its built in voodoo memory manager. It was such a pain to free up 600k of memory, yet have no memory manager to work with.
Call of Juarez and MS Flight Simulator X. STALKER can be pretty tough if you go into the .ini file and enable global illumination but it makes the lighting that much more amazing.
max out flight simulator x. my computer is: amd 4600 dual core, 2 gb 4200 ddr2, nvidia geforce 8800 gtx 768mb, vista home premium 32 bit.
i get like 4 to 7 frames per second. i sure hope the directx 10 update helps. it would be a good example of how effective directx 10 optimization is. i know my cpu and ram don't do my card justice. so, if the card can do more it should help.
by the way, company of heroes runs like butter. even when zoomed in. everything maxed with antialiasing maxed i get an averege frame rate of 177. fear : 245.

What will really test your rig is if you download the mod that allows you to raise your unit cap from 1000 units to 10,000 units
well, there are no real limits to the size of supreme commander games, but considering the average game on the average map, I would say my cpu and video struggle a big more with oblivion. the second CPU core is the key to supreme commander, unlike obivion, it makes great use out of it. without that, i'm sure supreme commander would be all around more power hungry even in medium size games. so i guess my answer is supreme comm is more power hungry unless you have 2 or more cores, that can spread the load, in which case it will run better than obivion, relativelyl.
Rainbow Six Vegas is a system hog for sure, but well worth it. Sephiroth__666
r6 Vegas should run a lot better considering its not that great looking(just like the horrible looking Ghost Recon AW), but i think it runs lousy because its a lazy port from the x360 version. the game is just plain unrefined.
Wanna test your comp? Run a damn benchmark. Do you really need to post a thread asking such a question? Then cry for help when nobody tells you the OBVIOUS games out there? Go find a game and PLAY it......play it for the sake of enjoying the game.......

oblivion with the 'more than almost everything' mod where you can see all objects for hundreds of meters. that will bog down ANY pc into the 20 fps range outdoorsunless you are SLI with 2 8800's(then you might get up to 35 fps outdoors.)
