I need some game suggestions to test out my GTX 690.

So far I have BF3 and Crysis 3 ready. What games really grind computers to a halt these days?



Edit:
My specs
i5 2500k OC'd to 4.7GHz
EVGA GTX 690 4GB
16 GB RAM
Win 7 64

Inb4 Dwarf Fortress

Is that running off GPU now?

[The Darkling Wolf]

No, but you just know someone is going to suggest/ would have suggested it.

[Viken]

Skyrim with installed Hi-Res pack. 

Minecraft with/without mods + x64 or more texture pack. (Java/opengl)

FarCry 3.

Nuff Said.

[hemmingjay]

Thanks for the suggestions! I thought Minecraft was more CPU and Ram needy and barely utilizing the GPU?

[Viken]

OpenGL support in Minecraft offloads textures through the GPU now.  It makes it slightly faster; but at a higher cycle turn depending upon the pixel count of the texture pack.  Anything over x64, and you're likely to run up your GPU just as much as your RAM and CPU these days with Minecraft.

Metro 2033, ARMA II and The Witcher II.

Viken, Thanks for that explanation! I will have to search for the most intensive texture pack it seems.

Catastrophic lolcats, I forgot about Arma II! I have been running a GTX 570 Superclock and it handled ARMA II well, but obviously now I should be able to really crank it up. Thanks again.

Edit: Looks like I will do Photorealism 256x256 pack with Water shader mod as well.

ARMA 2... that also relies on so many other things... I get pretty much similar FPS running on lower settings as I do on 'very high'

EDIT: Running on an SSD, 8gb RAM, a 670, and a quad core 3.3ghz processor.

I was going to suggest ArmA 2, but the CPU appears to be the main ArmA 2 bottleneck for many things

Parcheesi. My computer can't even roll the dice on his turn.

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

[feralferret]

You could try Skyrim with one of the more performance heavy ENBs - one with SSAO and DoF turned on. That combined with various high resolution texture packs and foliage mods absolutely destroys my 550.
