Ok so with Battlefield 3, Crysis 2 (Dx11 Patch) and Skyrim more or less setting benchmarks visually what is the next game that is billed to be THE next spectacle on PC?
Next game for a graphical benchmark?

GTA5 may be a benchmark in the sense that if it is anything like GTA4 the graphics are nothing special at all, they just run badly due to a very crap port.
It will depend how the game stress the computer. If GTA5 is CPU limited (I doubt any game out there is tbh) then it may not be a good benchmark
.GTA5 certainly won't look special at all if it is a port from the Xbox 360 which this coming Christmas will be 7 years old
.Playing Crysis was what Farcry 2 should have been.
Then we got Crysis 2, which was also crap.

GTA4 was quite pretty at the time I seem to remember. But it was badly ported.

Very true, but that was in 2008, when the 360/PS3 were young.
Four years on PC hardware has changed a lot, but the consoles are exactly the same
.
The latest video in the Max Payne 3 thread makes it look rather impressive. If GRID 2 is out in 2012 it will probably be up there.
Bioshock Infinite is built on UE3 rather than a frankensteined UE2 so will probably look and run rather well. I imagine the new Tomb Raider will look rather good as well.

Isnt Metro going to be the same engine as last time so will still be a really demanding game?
ARMA 3 on max with max visibility will probably destroy most computers.

you forgot the witcher 2 which technically blew them all out of the water and will be hard to beat for a while yet - their probably the only developers that bother with using the PC 100% fully. and no BF3 doesnt count since it doesnt even have any of the advanced next gen tech that the witcher 2 does.

Does the DX11 work properly now? Just got the game, but not been following DX11 progress properly.
As for graphics, Arkham City does indeed look really good, even in DX9. Catwoman = win!
As for coming games, I think the upcoming Tomb Raider will be good for sure. Far Cry 3 looks interesting too. Bioshock also, all Bioshock games look good. I personally like Skyrim graphically.
Must be surely?!
The other games he mentions (BF3 and Crysis 2) are in a completely different league visually.This
Although to be fair, ArmA 2 maxxed out can still bring most PCs to their knees!
Thats because it wasn't developed by the same team. Crytek (developed the 1st game) then went on to crysis ..hence the second crysis being ..well..rubbish
