Jack Bauer · 19 Feb 2007 at 22:26

I dont realy no what new game to get my self to show off my new 8800 GTS,

Ive got the following and have nearly maxed them on my x1800xt, however fear, oblivion will be getting a reinstall

Fear + expeansion
doom 3
quake 4
oblivion
hl2 + e1
black n white 2
medieval total war 2
NFS carbon

Any good looking games ive missed, the game play dont have to be great as I will be bored with it after a few hours as normal, just has to look great and make me happy with my new card.

Any ideas?

X3
Company of Heroes (its getting a directX 10 patch soon too, so should look even better)

Edit: Oh and here are a few other Dx10 games that look like they'll be worth the wait

I have X3 but I aint play comapny of heros, was ment to be good as well. Will give it a go

COH already has a DX10 option on the Shader settings. Dunno if it works though.

I would recommend Hitman Blood money, its graphically impressive and shows off an 8800 gts.

I found fear to be the most troubling for the card at 1680x1050 with max antialiasing etc.

Shout out from the 2142 corner. BF2142 is hugely underrated graphically.

I play at everything high, must get like 20-30fps on a x1900xt at that res

Just checked and I can't see it, unless i'm going blind.
