+1

If you want a good game that also looks amazing then this is the game to play.

Did no one else get annoyed by the super-windy tree effect in The Witcher 3?

The Hunter Call Of the Wild, hands down the most visually stunning game to date

Yep nothing comes close, brings my 1080 to its knees!

GTA V is very good although some dodgy textures. But can look jaw dropping. Same for Witcher 3

Hunter Call of the Wild (stands alone imo)

Star Wars battlefront

Project Cars

Ori and the blind forest is very pretty.

Why would something like that annoy people? I dont get it.

As already mentioned Witcher 3 makes brilliant use of your GPU. I always thought Mad Max did very well in the visuals department.

Not really, the wind is strong in places where it makes sense (they are Northern Kingdoms), in Toussaint (south) it is very subdued. I love how alive it makes the world look.

Crysis 3 is another good looker and game.

Only had decent hardware (1070 and x34a) since october/november so I can only say Witcher 3 is magnificent

Skellige in particular for visuals.

To me it looked like every tree was elasticated and constantly almost being knocked over, I found it very jarring from an otherwise beautiful game.

I'd second this one, the artwork is stunning and the gameplay is fantastic.

Witcher 3
BF1
Doom
Elite Dangerous

The latest Hitman always stood out to me, had a very vogue/bespoke feel, very clean presentation. The Paris map being the stand-out for me.

KingDazza · 17 Mar 2017 at 14:24

Doom, but make sure you turn off chromatic aberration.

ScottyJKB · 17 Mar 2017 at 15:12

Witcher 3
Quantum Break
Rise of the Tomb Raider
GTA 5
Battlefield 1

Honourable mentions to Skyrim and Fallout 4 - both VERY easy to mod and when modded look amazing.

Edit: Just spotted Crysis 3 above, how could I forget, great looking game.
