On more than one occasion, I've seen Crysis 1 mentioned several times as a form of "litmus test" for the extreme gamer's computer. I was curious as to the other games out there that push the different limitations of the computers GPU, CPU, RAM, and other such things.

The most demanding game I have come across is Metro 2033, for graphics. Please resize image to a maximum of 400 x 120, not exceeding 24000 bytes. ~Saint |

Crysis Warhead is also pretty hard on the system on max settings if you can only run DX10.
Metro 2033 is a kicker for DX11 - even a 590 gtx has trouble getting 60 FPS @ 1080P, that's like a $700 card.

Saw an article somewhere a little while ago about how it's no longer the prettiest games that truly test your system, but the worst coded ones.

From the lil i remember, Crysis is one of those games. I think with the latest patch it runs on two threads, but not optimally. Crysis is a test of raw limited thread cpu power and MHz, especially in the physics heavy bits. Thats why high end Intels used to run Crysis best. Today, Crysis is probably not a fair test of a systems abilities. Like saying to a system, "How fast can you do 100 metres"....."but you have to hop".
It was not badly coded as such I guess, just that it arrived just when it was obvious that core speed was not the future, adding cores was the future. |

Are there any computer games coming out that plan on pushing the limits of the many-core hardware?

Why not use something designed to stress your computer... 3D Mark Vantage?

Are the pictures in that link from a real game or is that just for advertising?

The witcher 2 with Ubersampling enabled will force most (if not all) GPUs currently available to it's knees.

The first supreme commander was pretty though on systems when 4 or more people/A.I were playing.
Total wars can be.

Supreme Commander Forged Alliance has more optimized code but even with the core optimizer utility the game still scales poorly beyond 2 cores. max_sp game speed will go below 0 even when a quad core CPU has 2 cores not being properly utilized. The 80km maps with 8 players will lag regardless of CPU power once the total unit count goes above 1000.
It would be nice if the game got an open source version that Total Anhilation did that would have quad core + multi threaded code.

Oh my god The Witcher 2. Doesn't use DX11 but damn does it give your DX11 cards a run for their money.
Arma2- OA is another, both ridiculously CPU and GPU intensive. I am yet to see a PC run it with everything maxed out (including resolution) at a good framerate.
e: OA is absolutely gorgeous though when you can get it to run at reasonably high settings. ----

Its a benchmark tool, but it uses 3d enviroments to test out different aspects of your computer.
But the same company has put out a game: Shattered Horizon

Crisis 2 is gives the most conclusive test results. And so will any Unreal Engine 4 game (once the engine is released). ____________ ___916039___ ^^My Signature is Better than Yours^^ |

Just run 4-5 windowed clients with the latest Incarna test build (it will mainly make your CPU puke though).

The games that tend to puch my graphics cards the hardest are probably The Witcher 2 with ubersampling, or Metro 2033. Can still get great framerates in both though For pushing the CPU, I'd give that award to Arma II. For pushing the both the GPU and CPU, try a massive Shogun 2 battle, even my PC struggles with some of those.
