Most demanding game

There are quite a few games that will bring modern systems to their knees if you install the correct mods.

Fallout 3 isn't too bad out of the box, but if you install some high res texture packs and spawn-rate mods..... it can really stress modern gpu's.

Hell, even something like il2 sturmovik can push modern pc's if you put enough planes in the sky.

Metro, Cryostasis. At least they are the ones that I've tried out.

The ingame benchmark test don't go below 60fps but when playing the game it drops

GTA IV with the ENB mod. Crank up that Supersampling AA and watch your super-rig beg for mercy.

Ignoring RTS games with large numbers of units (simply because I don't know that much about them) I'd say something like GTA4, Metro 2033 or ARMA2.

I thought this thread would be about games requiring the most skill and/or time invested to win

Metro 2033 is prolly the most greedy game i play lol

Same :/

Arma 2 is pretty demanding.

All the games mentioned so far could be classed as poorly optimized as well. Especially GTA IV, ArmA 2 and Total War.

Dont quite understand

Crysis IS the most demanding game, so why that pointless blurb in your post?

Pointless thread is pointless

hmmm yeah its defo up there as a contender. probably metro 2033 though with dx11 settings and everything maxed. gta 4 maxed pushes it also

That's just because it's poorly coded.

Doesnt flight sim x take a lot to run at max?

I think with some hd texture packs and with all the settings maxed out its a contender for sure.

The reason is irrelevant though in the context of this thread
