do Metro 2033, this still kicks any graphics card's ass

[Anvilfolk]

Does it look that good though? Sometimes I get the feeling these games are just unoptimised :\

high blown? yes

Try running Planetside2 at max settings, or edit the file or something to run it on ULTRA settings, its there somewhere...

This

Nope, Planetside is not a good test subject. I got better FPS when i changed from the lowest settings to partial ULTRA and the game is mostly limited by your cpu

SO far it has shred everything I have thrown at it.

Crysis 3
Far Cry3
Battlefield 3
Metro 2033
Skyrim with mods
Arma 2


Everything on ultra and getting no dips below 50fps, usually well above 65. I am happy and would have been shocked if for that money it didn't handle all current gen games.
I can't wait to try the ARMA 3 Alpha on it next month.

what about more then one game at a time?
that will definitely hit your limit

But does it give the same satisfaction as playing a game with ultra graphics? It wouldn't for me atleast

Wait for Rome 2 Total War.

But now you can play two(or like 9) games on ultra graphics if you have enough resources.

Totally unpractical unless you have spare monitors

But can you run four copies of dwarf fortress on separate forts in separate worlds simultaneously while playing Planetside 2 with 3D Vision™?

[Mullet Master]

Try Company of Heroes/Dawn of War 2 (same engine) on highest settings. It's definitely not optimized , and while a lot of cards test well for a single test, FPS drops dramatically after playing a while - it really heats up the card. I've tried it on 3 different cards.

Hitman : Absolution (relatively new game engine that every mfr probably has not optimized to)
Max Payne 3 (just for the hell of it)

Or use Linux with all those full transparency effects.

Planetside 2.

On a note more relevant to the future of games, the graphics side of the GPU will become increasingly less important. At this point, the graphical throughput is about as high as is needed, with progress in that department starting to see a slowdown (as evidenced by some recent announcements by AMD and nVidia). What to watch for is the OpenCL and similar GPGPU capability. Increasingly, a GPU isn't about the polys or anything like that to throw at it, but rather about the more general purpose use of the GPU as a high-performance parallel processor. Though you can't really test it so much as just read the GFLOPS performance of it, since implementation and uses will vary.
