New game to christen my new graphics card

[Woden]

So, spec me a game

Just installed a 660 ti, so what, preferably on steam, has some good eye candy but is still worth playing?

RPG, Strategy or FPS are what I play mainly.

 

[Moothead2]

Track down a Sleeping Dogs code from eBay or the MM as that has pretty good graphics when using the high res texture pack. It also activates on Steam.

Blackmesa?

bl2?

 

[NuggetUK]

Runescape Classic. That should put it through its paces.

Alas, I only got one. No SLI

 

[iv-tecman]

Crysis 2 + HD DX11 texture pack
Skyrim + HD pack + whatever mods you can find that you like
Half Life 2 + Cinemod 11.5
Sleeping Dogs + HD texture pack
GTA IV + ICE
Blackmesa

Those are all pretty good looking games with the right mods and texture packs installed..

Metro, Witcher 2, Skyrim + mods.

 

[iv-tecman]

Metro?

Witcher 2?

Ah yes.. Witcher 2 version 2 is it, they updated this game not long back and thats a good looking game thats also very good to play.

Metro 2033 is a bit of a system killer, I could never get the DX11 features to work without it killing the fps..

Batman Arkham City was the same in DX11 mode.. Shame.

With Metro just disable dof, then dx11 runs great, as for Batman DX11 is broken still for a lot of people.

 

[Woden]

Gonna play through the half life games.
Got the valve pack in the sales and never played them lol.

*wonders off to get cinemod*

Blackmesa?

+1 for Blackmesa, I'm gonna fire this up as soon as I finish Twilight Princess, yes I'm a bit late to the Wii party lol

If it's a really high end, tough and powerful graphics card, literally christen it. If it can run Crysis 2 surely it can swim.

You could try ArmA II on max, not for the stunning visuals but for the 'wow' factor of being actually able to run the worst coded PC exclusive out there on top settings.

 

[Strife212]

Crysis 2 DX11 Pack will just demoralize you

Skyrim + Climates of Tamriel mod + an ENB 0.119 preset. Brings my GTX670 to 40fps, but looks amazing!

Stalker has beautiful optimization, could even run it on my 1.6ghz laptop with a 128mb 'intel family chipset' graphics chip and 2gb ram on Vista, at about medium. Can't even get ArmA II to run on medium anymore on my actual PC, sucky port is sucky.

Borderlands 2 isn't much better either.
