Which games you looking forward to that will need a beefy PC?

Yes true, but my 6800gt is getting really tested these days and it's a dx9... basically it gets a pasting with any games it is meant to run as dx9.

So basically the dx10 cards will be amazing at dx9 and get pasted when it comes to dx10, especially the early dx10 cards, i bet.

It takes a long time to get games like that out where enough people out there have the hardware out there to push their systems to their full potential. Doubt we will see DX10's full potential fully used until mid-late 2008 to be honest.

Then theres the fact that Vista will be in its infancy and will probably suck for at least a year, just like XP did. Its gona be a few years before DX10 is the norm.
 
Battlefield 2142
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars


As well as the obvious ones that have already been mentioned, plus Stalker if it hasn't been shelved already ;)
 
I can't wait for Crysis either!

I'm thinking of upgrading to Conroe in September from my current XP2200+ rig, but I think I'll skimp on the graphics until DirectX 10. Might just get a cheap Conroe too what with Kentsfield on the way.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Test Drive Unlimited looks alright too.

Spore seems like it'll need a pretty beefy hard disk! I'm hoping Assassain's Creed will be coming to the PC too.

Assasins Creed is coming... just after the PS3 version, w00t!!! :D :D :D
 
Crysis obv!

i bet spore scales really well and wont need a killer rig.


I mean these days. What REALLY neeeds a killer rig other than Oblivion and fear?
 
I have a 7900GTX as I have just upgraded. I generally keep my card a couple of years but with my 20" monitor coming tommorow I will need to run at a higher res.

I have also now become addicted to playing at max settings with this new PC. So I will probably want to upgrade as soon as a game comes out that I cannot run well.

I was a bit annoyed about AM2 comming out just after I got this but there isn't much of an increase with AM2 anyway. I will probably upgrade late next year when DX10 is in full swing.

The next Engine is UT2007. I am sure my PC will run it. Which means I am set for UT2007, Huxley + there is probably going to be another Unreal maybe?, and in a year or so LineageIII. (not that anyone else cares but could you imagine a MMORPG with UT2007 graphics, especially considering how amazing LineageII looks. It is using an old engine and is about 2 years old. :) )

These are all sequels to games using the Unreal engine, they will keep me going for a while.

Also there will be loads of games using other current engines such as Battlefield2042. So I think if you can run current games you are set until Crysis at the earliest. And if you have a top notch rig today it will probably be cool for Crysis unless you have a 24"+ monitor.
