It's been around long enough now that I had hoped performance would improve, but much like players in Ark, it punches and stabs your hardware in the face, then stomps all over it with a giant dinosaur.

Okay, Ark is still in Early Access, though it's supposed to launch before the end of the year-maybe. Which means 1080 SLI is just about enough to run 4K at max settings and still get 60 fps. Once you do that, a second GPU can improve performance by around 75 percent.

One interesting fact to point out is that if you have an SLI setup, the in-game anti-aliasing (FXAA) causes serious issues with multi-GPU scaling, so you're better off disabling that feature in the game and using Nvidia's drivers to force FXAA on. That drops performance by 25 percent compared to my normal testing (without HairWorks or HBAO+), and the GTX 1080 ends up dropping well below 60 fps. Because the game is still super demanding, especially if you enable HairWorks and all the other extras-which I did for this test. Some people complained that the graphics quality of The Witcher 3 was reduced between the preview 'bullshots' and what we eventually received, but that was probably done in the name of balancing performance against image fidelity. Crysis Warhead and Crysis 2 stepped back the hardware requirements (relative to what was available) without a major drop in quality, and while Crysis 3 (2013) continues to tax modern systems (64/47 fps on my test system), none of those sequels have pushed hardware at the time of release quite as hard as the original Crysis. And yes, the implementation probably wasn't optimal. The combination of new algorithms and a new API meant that it pushed the technology boundaries in ways that the hardware wasn't really equipped to handle. What was the problem? Crysis pioneered the use of several advanced rendering techniques, and it was one of the first DirectX 10 games to hit the market. Crysis continues to be a hardware glutton, and even now it tends to run poorly at its very high preset, averaging above 60 fps on the test system but also routinely dropping well below that mark.Ĭrysis continues to be a hardware glutton, and even now it runs poorly at its highest settings.īack in 2007, running Crysis at maximum quality wasn't just demanding, it was impossible-there wasn't a system around that could come close to 60+ fps without dropping many of the settings.

I just pulled this game out of retirement to see how it runs on a modern system, expecting to see some good performance, but either the drivers, or Windows 10, or the game itself just don't seem to care that nine years have passed. That 20 billion dollar supercomputer is fast … but can it run Crysis? LPC is fast, but can it run Crysis? And so it goes. It's not the first game to punish high-end systems with extreme system requirements, but it's the game that kicked off a meme that continues today. I'll report the average and 97 percentile minimum fps as well as the settings used on each game. This is a step down from the absolute maximum hardware and settings you might run, but running at 4K will basically cut the performance in half, and as you'll see shortly, that means nearly all of these games fail to achieve 60 fps.

I've tested each game in the list, running at 2560x1440 and ( * mostly) maximum quality on a GTX 1080 paired with a 4.2GHz i7-6800K.

So what are these games that can bring even the mightiest PC to its knees, and what are they doing that requires more processing power than a third-world country? Here's our list of the most demanding PC games currently available. This is a $2,500 / £2,200 system built to handle just about anything, with room for a second GTX 1080 if you're thinking about 4K, or if you want that 1440p 144Hz display to be put to good use.

We're using a GTX 1080, which is the main element, but we've upgraded the CPU to an overclocked Core i7-6800K with an MSI X99A Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard. Our test PC is very similar to our current high-end gaming PC build.
