1440P with less recent games...

harz_marz · 23 Aug 2015 at 19:39

Hi all

I am amazed at how amazing 1440P gaming is, being used to 1080P on PS4 and my previous PC build. I am playing games like The Witcher 3, Crysis 3 and GTA5.

I want to go back to some slightly older games that have been released within the last 3-5 years and play them at 1440P. Any recommendations?

In my backlog I have Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider and Battlefield 3.

Thanks!

Crysis 3 looks stunning, as does the recent Metro 2033 & Last Light Redux version.

Already cleared Crysis 3, have Metro 2033 in my folder so can try that sometime. Does the older version look significantly worse than the Redux?

you could try dsr or amd's equivalent to upscale resolution on 1440p

He's got a 1440p monitor why would he upscale to 1440p?

Pretty much every good game then, so portal, sanctum, witcher 2, skyrim, sniper elite.

There's loads about depending on what your into, if you like strategy try civ 5, if you like racing then dirt rally is the current big thing in driving games, if you like sim games personally i'm a massive fan of kerbal space program (one of those 'look at the clock and wonder where the past 5 hours went' kind of games)

Thanks for the suggestions! I have been playing Portal 2 and Left for Dead 2 and like 140 FPS it's crazy!

Most of my time however has been eaten by Rocket League!

Older version looks better than the Redux imo.

You can try playing quite a few titles released in recent years with impressive graphics. To name a few BF4, Farcry4, thief, grid autosport, sniper elite 3, tomb raider, AC unity, AC Black flag, etc.

Sometimes the "Remastered" editions are a bit of a scam, Just look at the Sleeping Dogs original and remastered version, Virtually identical and in some cases the original runs and looks better.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is also worth a shot for beer change as its hands down the best looking game I've ever played, its short but very atmospheric and the story is great

It's a bit of a walking simulator though so beware if thats not your thing.

Ryse: son of Rome is another graphics intensive game. May not be most fun to play but you can just see your gpu sweating a bit under its demanding graphics.
