Top 5 most graphically intensive games?

Hi everyone.

I'd like to check which are the top 5 most graphically intensive games out in the market right now? The reason I'm asking is that I'm building a gaming system and I want to stress test it to the max.

Oblivion obviously comes to mind, but what else?

5. Pong

4. Missle Command

3. Tempest

2. Pac-Man/Ms.Pac-Man (tie)

1. Pitfall.

I know it is old, but Far Cry is a good test.

Get the latest patches and turn everything up and see what your system does.

And I agree F.E.A.R. is great test if you turn everything up.

F.E.A.R is up there and oblivion is prolly top of the list in my opinion. other than that I'm not really sure

Well, in order, I'd rank them roughly like this:[list=1:4c5ca5ca1a][*:4c5ca5ca1a]The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Make no mistake, this is the game to blow all the others away. The only game out there that, so far, had to actually be watered down from its true maximum to work on the Xbox 360.
[*:4c5ca5ca1a]F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon - 2005's original hardware killer. Can bring most machines to a halt, particularly with that creative, yet lousy, attempt at "soft shadows." First real game to place a massive shader load compared to the texture load.
[*:4c5ca5ca1a]Call of Duty 2 - Game looks amazing, and also incredibly intensive. Unlike F.E.A.R. and Oblivion, has more of a texture load, like older games.
[*:4c5ca5ca1a]Quake IV - Clearly, another intensive game. VERY texture-heavy.
[*:4c5ca5ca1a]Tom Clancey's Splinter Cell 3: Chaos Theory - Much weaker than the others, yes, but one of THREE games out there that use parallax mapping by default, the other two being F.E.A.R. and Oblivion. Loads of shaders at work here, to throw against any graphics card. (I'm considering a few other games that may actually deserve this spot instead, so I'm not 100% certain on #5 here)I INTENTIONALLY left off Battlefield 2. Why? It's not graphics-intensive. It's simply crappily coded. I mean, for all the brouhaha, take a look: one quickly can notice lots of graphical parallels with The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It's laughable. Sure, it adds on SOME shaders, and has SpeedTree, but it's hardly innovative in graphics, or even intensive; Half-Life2 easily beats it there, and that's a game famous for being easy on the graphics card! So for gameplay, it may rock, (it IS fun, presuming you're not the target of your team's own artillery strike) but it gets poor marks for graphical technology.

Half Life 2 isnt graphic intensive it was built to be playable on a geforce 4. i had that game on medium-high settings at 1024*768 on a 5200fx and it ran fine... its an excellent game but its not graphic intensive...lol

Oblivion runs fine on my Geforce 2 mx 32mb. What are you guys talking about. I get 120 fps on highest settings.

is that appart from the fact the game only supports nvidia gfx from the FX family upwards?

I miss Pittfall - and you forgot Space Invaders...

asteroids>all

1. Half-Life 2
2. Fear
3. BF2
4. Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
5.COD2
