F.E.A.R. is the one game that brings my system to it's knees. Half Life 2 is bizarre in that people with seemingly identical computers can have wildly different performance in this game.

I'd say BF2, second is FEAR.

I test the BF2 with 1 Gb and my framerates was horrible. I could only play it with highest setting at 1280x1024 resolution.

BF2 is RAM hungry, but FEAR is the most all-round hungry game.

I'm going to say FEAR

Honestly, HL2, Farcry, FEAR, BF2, and COD2 are all super hungry. Any of those are brutal on my rig if I turn all the eye candy on.

If you have a 512mb GPU and can set Quake 4 to Ultra quality, id say this is the game that needs the most.

Yeah, but FEAR I put second because the framerates is not as bad as BF2 on my system. Got 2 Gb of ram and fixed both problems.

na quake is only slow in ultra mode cause it has lots of bugs running in ultra mode for example some maps wont load or will load with artifacts...whether you have a 512Mb card or not ive seen that complaint on a few review sites about quake4.

I think its quake4 its the only game i cant run at max settings
the funny thing is that i could with the demo!!! go figure.

Oblivion could be a tough one when it comes out in march.

F.E.A.R without no doubt the most demanding game ever.....
I can play allmost every game smooth with a lot of eye candy on, even with a X800 Pro , but F.E.A.R runs like a snail on crack on my system, even with the CPU and GPU heavily overclocked , and mind you I do have 2 GB of ram... and a A64 3500+ isnt quite that slow.

COD2 is the most demanding.

At some point I had to buy more RAM because it just wouldn't play.

FEAR comes close though

p4 3ghz
3200 2.5gb RAM
200gb seagate SATA 72000rpm
9800 pro 128mb

Quake 4 is ram eater on ultra high quality.
I got 2 gigs of ram, about 300-350 xp take for it self,but the quake 4 take the rest and wanna more, BF2 don't do that.
Quake 4 get very unstable when it's on ultra high and eat all your memory.
Every shitz happens.
Fear for graphic card and everything else:)

GrTz!

I have played FEAR,CoD2,BF2,HL2,Farcry on a decent system:P-4,3ghz,1 gb RAM,GPU 6800 128 mb and 200 gb HDD.And my vote goes to FEAR.It used to drench my system. :lol:

Now i'm stuck with a pathetic system so no more fancy games for me. :(

How about B&W2? I think it puts any present computer into below 30FPS on high settings with even average resolution.

well actually, for my rig, a top-of-the-line dell 4550, i personally have to say Counter-strike: Source. Except for my system it's been playing pretty decently; with 800x600 resolution i can sometimes even turn blood detail to medium while still maintaining framerates in the 10's!

My kickass rig:

Intel Pentium 4 2.53ghZ
nVidia geforce3 Mx420
128mb brand-name ram
20gb hitachi hard drive
15" 1998 CRT Monitor
