The best 4K games you've played?

GTA V looked great on 4k but i have to say the best game has to be skyrim with a tonne of mods. No jaggies at all. Looked epic.

my old 980s in SLI were a solid 60fps on GTA V with majority of settings maxed out minus AA. Havent tried with ti's.

Demanding enough to need decent SLI at 4k/highest with locked 60fps.

I think Metro 2033 Redux is far more demanding, and Crysis 3 is more demanding too. On my setup in anyway. The only game I've had trouble with is Metro 2033 Redux.

Was with nexus mod manager which is very easy to set up. There are a couple via the workshop but nexus mod manager is much easier.

The best ones were High res texture pack 1,2 3. K ENB pure light, Better dynamic snow, Better embers, verdant (changes grass), flora overhaul, (sounds of skyrim) dungeons, civilations, animals. Which puts many more sounds into skyrim sounds awesome. Realistic lighting, town and villages enhanced, moss rocks, enhanced blood, dynamic fires, pure waters, real glaciers, lush grass and trees, saturation boost, immersive spells, wet and cold, pure weather, shadows (skyrim,weather tweaks, dawnguard), palistov spinning arrow, dual sheith, dual parry, smart cast, SKYUI, a quality world map. Loads of videos dependant on what your looking for regarding the best mods.

Make sure you get SKYUI . SKYUI is a much more pc, keyboard + mouse menu's. Makes it far easier. I get all my mods from here mainly. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3863/?

Cheers mate, this will be my next project, and game to play. Finished it on PS3, but not on PC, and I have the DLC to complete too. Excellent, was going to be Witcher 3, but I'll return to Skyrim again, with my house building project and a ton of class mods!

With all the mods, makes it a really immersive game to play. Love playing it from time to time. Spent ages on it at first. Even after i finished most of it id just wander around lol. You will really enjoy it

I've just started modding skyrim myself, it was one of the main reasons I built my rig for, after years of being an envious console gamer looking at how good pc gamers have it lol finally getting round to it now I can only imagine how good it looks in 4k (....grabs a box of tissues) lol

If you use 2 enhancement packs will one cancel out the other do you know?

My game is having trouble with a mod at the minute trying to find out which one.

Thief is another good game worth playing at 4k.

I did enjoy the old Thief games, this was dirt cheap somewhere not long ago, stuck it on my Steam wishlist as it gets decent reviews from the sites I trust most.

Off to play Skyrim, the unofficial hd texture pack was the problem, but a 2k texture upgrade works and it looks very good even though i'm on a bleak island somewhere....

Thanks mate.

i have no problem at all with 290X crossfire at 4k more than playable fps and there cheap as chips now.

I know that the Towns and villages enhanced on mine was a bit dodgy.

There are loads of visual mods, HD Enhanced terrain, Enhanced distance terrain, skyrealism, let there be light, Enhanced night skyrim, static mesh improvement, npc overhaul, no more blocky faces, better females, detailed faces, footprints, re-lighting skyrim, cinematic fire effects, 4k snow, real sun, wet and cold those are but a few. The amount of mods you can get is amazing

Yep, just finished a session because my new SoundBlaster Z doesn't output 5.1 from its optical connector(I have a AV Receiver with 5.1), how crap is that? Somehow I'm outputting 5.1 from my 980ti HDMI output and using the Display Port for video, something I couldn't do in Windows 10 64?

The sound is fantastic in this, the music... I have just added a Celtic 1.2 music collection with 300mins of music! not sure if it will be any good. But I'm going to look at more mods now, finding Steam Workshop more convenient because I'm not 100% clued up with how some add-ons from the site you mentioned work or how you install them. Some needed to be installed differently from others and it confused me

I love Skyrim, I'm just taking my time exploring and haven't completed the main quest yet, I completed it in like 30hours on the PS3, but I didn't hardly explore. I want to do all the Thieves Guild quests too, and possibly the Dark Brotherhood. Any others you'd recommend?

Yep. This game is very PC centric, so it performs great on any card virtually, the developers of the Metro games should learn some lessons from these guys.

2 games I've tried out this morning.

Lords of the Fallen: It's like a 4k tech demo. Got all settings maxed(one setting required 6GB of VRAM) it ran smoothly thanks to g-sync. It is amazing, but a crap game imo. Still worth checking out the awesome visuals, blows Dark Souls 2 remake out of the water.

A surprise here, a 2012 game that is only 6GB. Spec Ops - The Line. Considering the age it has really impressed me, what a fantastic game too, so much better then Call of Duty, probably because I enjoy story and 3rd person view more than FPS.

2 games to checkout.

Currently downloading Syndicate, Kingdoms of Amular, Max Payne 3(Which I will finish this time, good story), wow finding out that 2012 games can look brilliant in 4k is a revelation to me. Need to keep focused on one game though.

Skyrim deleted itself(I kid you not) this morning, which sent me in a frenzy of checking out 4k games.

Any other recommendations please share

I can imagine some strategy games would look awesome at 4k. You'd get to see much more of the map than you can do normally and you'd be better prepared to make strategic decisions.
