Can YOU max out every game?

[Secret_Window]

I can play max settings on most of the games I own. Whether I get extremely high fps is another matter.

For HL2 games I can play max settings and they are pretty playable except for TF2 these days which really has crippled my computer since the last few updates. MW2 also I can play at max settings with little to no slow down. I can also play GTA IV in 1680x1050 (max res of monitor) with a few things turned down.

It's not perfect but I am using a 8800 card and pretty damn old Core 2 Duo, so what more could I ask from it?

Oh and Crysis for me is just totally unplayable.

No, don't particularly care about it.

Since I upgraded my monitor, I had to turn down the settings on Starcraft 2 and have not really tried anything else. Still looks really good though.

 

[Worthy]

I think so, but I haven't tried Metro 2033 yet. i7 3.8 (amazing chip, been really lucky with it. Can undervolt and get to 3.8!), 6GB RAM with a 5970.

Being stubborn this time and keeping it until it stops being able to run stuff at max, which I'm hoping will be a while yet.

Yes (well used to be able to) and even at 2560x1600. Currently waiting on an RMA item which is taking an age ( not frome here mind).. when it comes back I can get it gone and whack in the 3 480s I have been eyeing up to replace dual 5970s

Yup

 

[Glaucus]

No and it doesn't interest me, you only need reasonable graphics. Game play is far more important that a few extra shadows.

 

[Deleted member 66701]

Yes

 

[britboy4321]

I can't and I have a 5970 (amongst other graphics cards bunged in there).

Unfortunately I have (amongst others) 3*30 inch monitors I run in eyefinity. Anything at about 8000*1600 (my native) with lots of AA tends to slow games down a little

But playing at 2560*1600 just seems like a waste :/

 

[Dave****]

Yes, except for Crysis and Metro 2033.

 

[willhub]

Yes, but no, but yes, but no, but yes I can if I don't try Metro 2033 because it won't run on my pc for no reason because when I tried to run it, it just C2D.

at 1920x1200 with my 850 core GTX 470 I can max out everything except metro 2033 and even then turning DoF off and AA to AAA gives playable frame rates and looks just as good

edit: and it can't play ARMA II OA max settings

 

[macca672]

yes however i have never played crysis or metro2033

 

[KNiVES]

Everything but the original Crysis (Warhead seems to run much better) and World of Warcraft.

There's a couple of WoW players in this thread totally forgetting that nothing can smoothly run the highest shadows setting yet.

 

[wordy]

Yes apart from Crysis and The Witcher with full AA, take it down one notch and they run flawlessly.

 

[Yrkoon]

can max out most games at 1920x1200 native except for crysis and metro2033.

pretty impressed with this 1gig 4850 considering it only cost £80 a year ago and handles most games pretty well, im waiting till september to see what the gpu market is like for prices etc

 

[ntemples1]

I mac out most games but now my resolution is 2560 x 1440 there are a couple that give problems, still max them out though!!

 

[trickycurve]

I can "play" all of my games at their highest settings (AA included) at 1680x1050, but that doesn't mean they run well. Crysis/Warhead and GTA IV are the only games I own that I can't completely max out and enjoy.

VHigh Shadows in GTA IV completely obliterates my performance (I also turn down reflections and water quality down a notch, but I can get away with them at highest), and any amount of AA in the Crysis' isn't worth the hit on my fps either.

 

[gibb]

I cant unfortunately. Although I am fairly happy being able to play every game I have ever met at full res (1680) and low to medium settings, my PC is pretty old.

 

[mame]

my PC is pretty old.

All it needs is a new GPU and you have a PC almost as good as any really.
