What games can my PC handle?

[victor286]

I just recently ordered my hardware for my first gaming PC from newegg.com and should be receiving them tomorrow. I tried to get a decent setup but this being my first build I wanted to play it safe I heard the 7970 GPU would have been better but the 680 benchmarks right around the same apparently. I will be playing on a Full HD monitor that supports 1920x1080 and would like to run games at the max settings if possible.

Specs:
Case: NZXT Phantom 410
CPU: i5 3570k
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO
Mobo: ASRock Extreme4 Z77
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LowProfile 8GB (2x4)1600
GPU: EVGA GTX 680 Superclocked Signature Edition Core Clock 1084Mhz Boost Clock 1150Mhz
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA 6.0
SSD: OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
PSU: SeaSonic X-Series 850W 80 Plus Gold Full Modular

You can play Minesweeper and Solitaire. If you are lucky it might be powerful enough to play checkers.


Seriously, you have some pretty powerful components in your gaming rig. The following should give you some idea.

Well the 7970 GHz is about equal to the 680, the regular 7970 is about equal to a 670 maybe a little better. Anyway the 680 is like extremely high end, you can play just about anything you want at pretty close to ultra keeping 60fps.

You, sir, can play whatever the heck you want with that rig. I, sir, am jealous.

Also the 680 is better than the 7970, I don't know who told you otherwise, but they were wrong.

At 1920 x 1080 you should be able to play any game on maximum settings for years to come, I have a 3 year old Phenom II x4 @ 3.7GHz and a Radeon 6950 and have not got any games I can't play maxed (except ubersampling in Witcher 2) at 2560 x 1440.
