Worlds most demanding game

[username_57]

Hello,
does any1 know what the worlds most demanding computer game is?

 

[kajabla]

Metro 2033 is the hardest to run at its maximum settings. Here's a comparative benchmark in which it, BF3 and Crysis 2 all get similar framerates, but Metro isn't even on its highest settings. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-680-review-benchmark,3161-13.html

Testing high-end graphics cards allows us to step up to High detail settings in Metro 2033. We still can’t get consistently playable frame rates at the Very High preset, and we dare not enable the DirectCompute-based depth of field filter known take a debilitating cut out of the overall frame rate.

And that's with the best single-GPU card in the world!

GTA 4 i think

Metro is one of the most demanding for GPU power, GTA4 is poorly coded so needs more performance than it should. Wicher 2 with ubersampling enabled is also seriously demanding.

Everyone forgets about Crysis 1 it is after all a more demanding game than it's console ported drivel Crysis 2

 

[ritwik]

in future it would be gta5

in future it would be gta5

The trailer looks just the exact same as GTA 4 only in a "new" area LOL

 

[neon neophyte]

starcraft for cpu
crysis or metro for gpu

Nah, Metro's more intense than either Crysis. Check out the reviews above. Metro and Crysis get the same fps, but Metro isn't on max settings.

Those are demanding games, but IMO those should be "better" optimized. I mean, mostly all of them wont use more than 3 o 4 cores. So the most avanced CPUS wont be exploit as should be, thus theres no game that makes an I7 (6core) squish as it should. Metro have proven being a the nightmare for hardware, but so many titles and only 1 being that demanding, that kills mostly GPUs..

Its sad to say that consoles are holding us back about damanding games that actually uses the full hardware.

It is not that bad for us, that uses "old" hardware for casual gaming as a dual core in my place, but shouldnt we have left dual cores at least 2 years ago?

I should add that one demanding game is Batman: Arkham City.

Arma 2 is totally greedy as far as HW goes

 

[mightymaxio]

Probably some army simulator that only the government has.

Metros more buggy too

Batman is just poorly coded it seems people here are confusing poorly coded games as hardware intensive games.

+1 Metro

 

[xunicronx]

Crysis and Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I'm pretty sure you need alien technology to run both of these games.

As of today programor just havent found yet a good way to make a game run on more then 2 core. They aren't doing it on purpose 1 programme can't be splited that easily over multiple core. BF3 is working on 6 core because the multiplayer part is ran on 2 core and the rest of the game on the 4 others. And as every single game builded to work on 4 core, the major part of the game is handled on 2 core and about 30% run on the 2 others.

When a game is not demanding enough mates here say its unoptimized then when a game doesnt really stress a game to the max they say its cuz of stinky consoles.

We just had a thread about this and metro 2033 wasnt really even close to being the most demanding.ARMA 2 was number 1 and witcher 2 was 2.If were talking maxed out these 2 games were the hardest to run for my 7970 I5 2500K

 

[MadCatz900]

Id say metro 2033

 

[Guest]

It is not metro i can assure everyone of that

You call this drivel?

Anyway...

OP: I currently own or have played a wide range of demanding PC games, including Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2, ARMA 2, Metro 2033, Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Gears of War (PC), etc...

I would have to say that the most demanding, as well as the best looking, of all of the above would have to be...

Crysis 2.

Yes, it's original DX9 release on PC put a lot of people off. After all, even the original Crysis (which came out 4 years prior, mind you) was a DX10 title. Crysis 2 vanilla looked great, that much is true. But, it just didn't really cut the mustard for a lot of people. It didn't look quite as good as the original Crysis, let alone a modern sequel. DX11/High-Res/MaLDo Texture mod/Blackfire's Mod changed all that.

Now, Crysis 2 is not only better looking and more demanding that the original Crysis, it is the best looking, most demanding game ever made up to this point.

Crysis.2.is.King.

'Nuff said.

Nah, Metro's more intense than either Crysis. Check out the reviews above. Metro and Crysis get the same fps, but Metro isn't on max settings.

Even with PhysX enabled using an AMD card (CPU crusher), Metro 2033 isn't even in the same league as Crysis 2 DX11/High-Res.

See the video I posted above.

It brings my dual 6970's to their knees.

What about my benchmarks? Here we've got 680 SLI, and Crysis 2 does come in at slightly lower rates, but again, Metro isn't on its maximum settings. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-680-sli-overclock-surround,3162-6.html
