Graphically superior games

[_Deano]

Now that i have updated my PC and running a system with a high end AMD card (R9 290x)
What games are out there at the moment that have the wow! factor?

I've seen a few shots of the HD pack for Skyrim, and this will be one game that i'm going to install over the weekend, but this can't be the only game. I want a game, that when played at high res, will make your jaw drop and you're in awe for the detail.

Not too bothered about what type of game it is, just as long as there is a lot of high res detail.

Crysis 3, SimCity. Both in their own ways stunning games when turned up high.

Judging by how great Battlefield 4 looks on the ps4, I'd imagine it would look even better on a decent gaming pc with all the setting cranked up.

[130R]

Crysis 3, Metro Last Light, Assassin's Creed 4, Tomb Raider, Far Cry 3, all look good.

Newest rome total war 2 will push everything. 10k units, fire, rain, explosions, the whole lot.

Left field for ya!
Microsoft FSX flight simulator with a few add-ons was originally released in 2006 but pcs weren't up to it, still debatable to this day if cpu's can give all.
Serious horsepower needed to get it going.

I've got two hyperthreading six-cores, I'm sure I can manage.

Believe it or no, Not without microstutters just head over to avsim.com

People have been trying to perfect it for years and years due to poorly written microsoft software and needing raw cpu power; single core generally much better than multicores thats why an i5 can beat most i7s, also solid state drives quicker access to load scenery etc, many have been doing this for years and years me included.

Hitman: Absolution, any recent DIRT game, Bioshock: Infinite all quite visually stunning on high end machines.

I really enjoyed that, thanks for posting it, amazed how far FSX has come and the music really suited it.

[Altrezia]

the mass effect games look pretty good too

[vonuber]

Arma3 will give it a good melting.

What usually happens after I upgrade something is I find some horrendously addictive indie game with 20 year out of date graphics, like FTL

[FourWheelDrift]

I have Assassin's Creed Black Flag maxxed out on settings and it still could go further, not really impressed with the level of detail but then it was free with my new Gfx card.

Rome 2 I don't max out everything like I can with Napoleon, although that's probably more to do with the many patches and changes as it goes from running fine to warnings of low memory after I quit the game back to Windows Aero mode.

Far Cry 3 is maxxed out and runs fine.

FSX is all CPU power, I upgraded my GFX card and can't do anything with FSX so it runs on the same settings I have with my old card. Although I do run SweetFX instead of the in-game AA.

Card I have - Gigabyte GTX680 2gb OC - http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_gefo...

Compared with yours - http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=1858&...

I think your card won't really be pushed in games for at least another year or two.

Any game that isnt a console port will give the rig a good thrashing

RTS Rome 2
FPS AMRA3
Simulator IL2 Battle for Stalingrad (in early access at the moment)

I am thinking of a new graphics card in the new year, been a life time fan of Nvidia but the AMD 290 is really tempting me, £100 cheaper than the 780gtx and same performance....yes please lol

[vonuber]

The mass effect games don't really push anything. I'm forcing 16x anisotropic filtering, 32qaa and modded the .ini to up textures and shadows and it doesn't even get the card excited.
Does look good though but it's not taxing.

Buying RTW2 today.
Loved the whole RTS games with C&C, so i think that this will be right up my street.

Also i am really impressed with the MS Flight Sim; i'm running an Core i7k processor, so if it is CPU intensive, then i have a little power house to play with.

And to keep it car related, DIRT will be on the list too

Skyrim looks like a total arse to install with all the different patches though

[CBR JGWRR]

Skyrim is easy, it will patch itself. then you may want the unofficial patches, so you just find them on the Steam workshop and click the green subscribe button. then run the game.

I suggest you get the blood and gore pack for RTW as well. Makes it look very cinematic

I've also just installed my old copy of Euro Truck Sim 2, which i can run at ultra at 1920x1080p
It barley ran on the old PC!!

I was missing out on so much!
