As said in the topic, what do you think are the most demanding games for the PC?
OTHER than Crysis of course.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Stalker is unplayable on my Vista system. Ridiculous, because I could run it fine before I upgraded. And I got it the day it came out, then Vista-ed in April.krazyorange
So you're STALKER copy is messed up or your rig is? The patches fixed issues with Vista..... as long as your 1.004 or better, the OS isn't holding you back.
GoW and UT3. Damn UE3 and it's post-proccessing...Ps2stony
How is UT3 demanding?! I run it maxed out (100% of settings enabled except vSync of course) with an 8600GT XXX @ 1280x1024 with 35-40 fps average and never dips below 30.

Back when it first came out it sure was demandiing.
Anyways if you start from today pretty much any game besides Crysis and Gears of War can be run fairly well on recent hardware even midrange.
UE3
Stalker
FEAR
Oblivion
and Current RTS COH/SupremeCommander/WiC/etc

FEAR dude? my PC is horrible i cant even play C&C 3 with more than 30 units in one shot! on low graphics!
i can play portal on more than low and i can barley run TF2
i have 2ghz and 512 ram and i ran the FEAR demo on high no lags or anything with great graphics!
their is no way fear is demanding!
mircosoft FSX is the most demanding it needs like 3gp ram and like 5ghz cpu and a 512 graphics card to run on high!
Halo (1) that buggy beast still brings modern computers to there knees.threepac81What? My old PC with nothing more than an AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 512 MB of DDR-266, and an ATI Radeon 9600 XT could run that game just fine! (I don't know why I'm the only one who thinks that it runs perfectly fine on such a modest computer.) The likes of Battlefield 2, Armed Assault, TESIV: Oblivion, and Crysis, though? Those titles are just too much for that system, even on MINIMUM settings! Oh, and I can't believe I forgot MSFSX. One person tried to run it with a Core 2 Extreme and dual 8800 Ultras in SLI IIRC, and STILL had poor framerates...on the other hand, he was playing at 2560x1600, and chances are high that the same system running a game like Crysis at that high of a resolution would also have slideshow framerates.

You aren't talking about maxishine by any chance, are you? I think recent patches have made performance considerably better, although you still need a really good CPU/GPU to run the game decently.

hmmm....I'll have to check that patch out. I've just been so occuied with other games. good news!
Also, Riddick is definiteyl one of the greatest games of all time
World in Conflict
and CPU killer
Supreme Commander
like TA
if there is 5000 aircraft in the air in TA
i think even QX9770 can be killed
1. Gears Of War
2. Bioshock
3. Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare
4. Unreal Tournament 3
5. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Of Chernobyl
What do you mean by "maxishine"?You aren't talking about maxishine by any chance, are you? I think recent patches have made performance considerably better, although you still need a really good CPU/GPU to run the game decently.

Try playing it at 1680x1050 w/ max settings(exception of softshadows) , HQ 6x AA, HQ 16x AF.

try the float32 mod for stalker. it improves the graphics and the performance

Yea, I had this installed and ran Stalker at 1680x1080 with maxed AA + AF (AA Didn't Fully Work Though) and it never dipped under 60 FPS.
Gears of War and Bioshock definitely. World in Conflict is a powerhouse as well. Cod4 not so much unless you really crank up the Res.rmlr435are you kidding? Gears of war i can max on a 22" LCD 1680 x 1050....XP....E6600 2 gig ram and a 8800gts 320mb (old kind). And my system is no way near top range the most demanding that i know of ,are Crysis and Flight Simulator X not many people know what kind of rig it takes for Flight sim X to run flawlessly...... those people mentioning COD4 and FEAR are kidding themselves

Yeah, no problems here with STALKER on my Vista 64 rig. World in Conflict is my second most demanding game after Crysis.
Guys should check out Neverwinter Nights 2.. My computer sweats when running it, and I have a 8800 GTS, 2gb ddr2 pc800, and E4300 core 2 duo (overclocked to 2.0ghz atm usually at 2.4).. And the graphics are subpar when comparing the performance most are getting.sSubZerOo
Gothic 3 is ten times worse imho... I run NWN 2 with all the bells and whistles on my 8800 GTX without a problem @ 1920x1200. Gothic 3 on the other hand.... Plays almost as choppy as on my old 7800. Higher res this time, but still.
well even a core 2 quad like i have can run oblivion at 60fps i sometimes hit 20.
its all in the programing and **** they **** up that in fallout 3 and oblivion because that engine is a recorce hog.they put invisible polygons in the **** sky i swear
Takarne , either ur lying about that rig or u really know how to waste ur cash ! Obviously, if u blow up 5000$ on a rig u can max out all games, who doesnt know that ! What people are talking abt is running these games smoothly on realistic setups.
I dont know why COD4 is gets mentioned so often , one of the best optimized games ive seen , devs should really learn from that. Also dont know why no ones talking abt GTA 4. Until patch 3, Crysis would run better on my comp. Most other recent games can be maxed on fairly recent mid range to high end pcs.
The only demanding games that the avarage core2duo 8800gt has troubles playing them are Crysis,Stalker,Cryostasis,gta4 and flight sim x ( and by trouble i mean they cant max them but they run decently at me-high settings up to 1680x1050). Othere than those demanding games are modern rts games like Sins of solar empirses,empires total war and world in conflict. Those rts games run very well on a wide variety of hardware but when there is a huge battle going on and there are many units on screen even the most powerfull system can get on its knees ( it isnt that bad though getting low fps in rts games unlike fps games)
Games like Cod4,Ut3 and almost all games using UE3 are very well ooptimised and even an 8600gt can max them at reasonable resolutions
