Is here any system out there to max everything?

Just a general question.

I keep reading about people's settings on games to push their systems to its highest/best potential yet I see things like AA, Vsync, object detail to name at least 3 I've read either turned off or down..

Now I don't know if AA or Vsync are beneficial full stop, but surely object details is, so what hardware does it take if exist that can run every setting on its max and generally turned on??


Surely companies wouldn't add these options if nothing could run with them on.

Obviously I'm talking more modern games as old games can clearly be maxed unless you computer it older.
 
Plain old AA (MSAA) has often been superseded by other techniques that are hard to distinguish the difference of unless you look at static screenshots - in some cases i.e. 4K its of more limited benefit at typical monitor sizes when you have more pixels along edges anyhow.

Vsync generally is a personal preference - a lot of people aren't too bothered about a bit of tearing if they can minimise the perception of it and prefer the more responsive feel of having vsync off or better yet having gsync.
 
I run everything on max settings. Vsync on or off makes no impact on performance beyond locking the frames to 60, I have that off. I run 4k so I've no need for anti-aliasing. But past that, everything maxed. Playing Inquisition right now with everything on ultra - surprisingly even have tessellation maxed which is something AMD are weaker at.
Witcher 3 is probably one of the most demanding games at the minute, and I run it largely maxed -- a few settings I've tweaked to get more fps, the biggest hit coming from one of the vegetation options, can't recall which but just lowering it to High gives me an extra 10fps.

So to answer your thread, yes there are plenty of rigs that can max everything with the addendum of "max everything worth maxing."
 
Most people with 1080p monitors would probably be playing with a GTX 970 or similar, 1440p maybe a 980/980Ti, and 4k a Titan X/980Ti. If you were to go 4 way SLI on Titan X and play at 1080p, I'd probably question what you were thinking, but if running at absolute maximum settings is all you want to do, go for it.

I don't think anything is intended to be ran at absolute maximum settings, it's there for flexibility. Some people may prefer really realistic water and not mind jagged edges, but some people may hate jagged edges (:eek:)

As mentioned above, due to the pixel density of 4k, AA really isn't needed. Anything above 2x uses way too much horsepower and isn't necessarily noticeable outside of screenshots. - I found 2x to be more than sufficient when I was using 4k.
 
my system was getting 149fps on bf4 with all setting max. i have horrible stutter, Vsync removed the stutter by matching the fps to the monitors max frame rate also droped the gpu temp by 10c
