Which games do you like to test a new GPU with ?

I don't upgrade my GPU very often, but I always go back to Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I love the series and the latest one just looks incredible.

I love the Tomb raider games, I already done the bench test in shadow of the tomb raider.
But i haven't got around to playing it anymore since i upgraded, But i will be going back to it for sure at sometime as i still haven't finished the game.

Dying Light 2
Chernobylite Enhanced Edition (This is £4 on Cdkeys, and upgrades automatically to the Enhanced version. Still a very pretty game, it loops through a number of different benchmark scenes that can be quite demanding)
HZD/HFW
Cyberpunk
Robocop

Those are my go-to, although I'll test others if they're installed and have a benchmarking option to simplify things.

No way, get it played, I love the Tomb Raider games, I remember getting the first one when I was a young lad, and I think I've played pretty much every game that's been released. Can't wait for the next one

I've been testing my ROG Ally with the same early section of TLOU Part 1 for so long, Steam says I've played over 8 hours. But I haven't really.

I've also used Death Stranding, which has been very repsonsive to any driver changes/power targets/etc.

On desktop, I just use 3DMark as a system check, to make sure I'm roughly in line to where I should be. Although I should really use a game for performance/sanity checks.
 
Short answer is the games i play as that's all that really matters. I do run some 3dmark but it don't matter much as fps in what i play is all i care about. If the card proves to be stable it's all about what i main in games.

For coilwhine, RDR2. I have no idea why that game made it so bad but when I found a card that didn't buzz on that benchmark I knew it was a keeper.

Because that game really hammers a GPU when the settings are maxed out for a 5 year old game.

Bench test of that game i did with my 4090 at 3440 x 1440 (UW)

The first crysis game back in 2007 or 2008 cost me a small fortune :cry:
If i remember right i ended up buying two 8800gtx to run in SLI a full watercooling setup with EK gpu & cpu blocks, 360mm rad etc Plus a silverstone TJ07 case to put it all in :eek:

TJ07 is still one of my all time favourite cases, Silverstone made such brilliant cases, I still have my Raven RV02-ew (I think thats the code for the white one), it's not being used but I cant bear to part with it.

New cards for me normally get benchmarked using Haven and timespy then I just play what I was playing before anyway, this time I did try Cyberpunk which is rather pretty.
