Vote - Most Demanding PC Game

[DarKWateR]

We had this conversation in the office of what game really needs the most advanced hardware to run smoothly....

Here are the top titles that came up..

F.E.A.R
Oblivion
Prey
Battlefield 2
and the weird title (that looks like a game from 2002) Titan Quest

What do you people think??

Oblivion, its a demon especialy with the upgraded texture packs.

 

[Scooby_Doo]

Its Oblivion. No debate, its a fact.

 

[Vl@d]

I agree that Oblivion is a taxing game on most high end systems, but to me I would rate it as follows in the top 5:

1. Tomb Raider Ledgend (With Next generation content on)
2. Titan Quest (As it pushes the whole system)
3. Oblivion (As it doesn't need a massive CPU but obliverates GPU's)
4. F.E.A.R.
5. COD 2

A new game in the horizon with an ETA of 06/10 in SA is Company of Heroes.

The demo has made top end cards bleed when all settings were set to max. All others pale in comparison to what the engine in that game can do.

Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter, if it isn't the most demanding from a graphics perspective then the gameplay would make up for it.

 

[DarKWateR]

after some testing titan quest proves to be the system killer even though it has inferior graphics.

rofl.... wait until the new command & conquer tiberium wars pitches up

 

[zeb]

Crysis - (coming 2007) will make our systems sweat blood.

 

[desraid]

Titan Quest is also fun but definitely Oblivion!

 

[Scooby_Doo]

Crysis - (coming 2007) will make our systems sweat blood.

Yip dual core req

by then the 8800 Nvidia series will make that game fly.

I reckon WoW . . .

Maybe not on the physical hardware, but it'll tax:
1. Your Wallet @R150 a month
2. Your relatonships (what are those . . .)
3. Your Social life (never heard of it . . . )

I would say oblivion and ghost recon advanced war fighter. Altho both run perfectly on max settings and resolution of 1600 x 1200 on my computer - e6600 with 2gb of memory and geforce 7950gx2

Well not to burst your bubble but both ran fine on my previous AMD 754 with settings set to high.
System setup was Athlon 3000+ 754 with 2gb ram and a 7800gs AGP card.

Oblivion gave me some hasles and Tomb Raider made it look like a slide show.

But the AMD dual core fixed it all............

 

[adamr]

oblivion for sure ...
anyone tried call of jurez ... thats is the most demanding yet

Can only try it when I can download it, which currently seems to be a problem.........

 

[Exaelea]

If you know what your doing inside the .ini file for Oblivion then FEAR chows a system alot more than oblivion on max settings.... but at default .ini then Oblivion is just a j@gse vrou met 'n lat moєring your system.

 

[useless]

has anybody thought that the most taxing software for your system is currently Vista Ultimate?

 

[Vl@d]

But what makes Vista great is the ability to use the memory available from a flashdrive as ram.

Very easy and cheap to plug a 4gb flash into your system as an instant 4gb ram addon.......
