Here we go again. I know there are probably a BUNCH of topics on what game is the most graphic intensive game made.

*DO NOT INCLUDE CRYSIS 3*

For me, I would say Crysis 2 with the EQM, or the first Crysis with the EQM.

Metro 2033 honestly did not surprise me that much.

I play Battlefield 3, and the graphics are great. However, at times it seems a little cartoonish for me, but at some points in the game, at the right angles, the game looks pretty realistic.


Also, what is the most graphic-intensive thing made? If there's a YouTube video showing an animation that's looks very realistic, I would love to check it out.
 
i have the r9 270x toxic at the time of purchase it came with battlefield 4 it runs sweet as a chocolate bar on maxed settings also the witcher 2 has no issues i need something more demanding, please help me
 


Modding skyrim to that point, does take a fair amount of work. I think i'm at about 87, 89 mods maybe. I have to up the games memory block size, modify cache sizes, set my gpu to max and over ride application setting,used ewi's ini files, ect. All in all i pushint skyrim to its limits. i at 2.9 vram. Game crashes at 3.1. Just how its coded. It ovten crashes for me anyway at that point in exterior cells. I really pushing the bounds. and i not even running an enb. Does look awesome though.
 
Honestly I haven't seen any games yet to be as beautiful as Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 yet fps wise.

Also Gta 4 and Ghosts could defiantly be better on the PC

Note also I have a ps3 + a ps4 and Ghosts is my all time favorite game.
 
I do not game much so my input is probably not that great but I say for what I have seen Mechwarrior Online is overly demanding for what it is. Graphics are not that much more superior than MechWarrior 4 but instead of the 8mb graphics card needed in MW4 it uses 512 mb minimum and with anything less than a quad-core CPU, 8gb+ RAM and a 1gb+ graphics card it runs so horribly...

--EDIT--
Corrected typos.
 


 
Iknow, waking up a dead post blahblahblah..

but...

Try out The vanishing of Ethan Carter. it's really fr*kin beautiful. the lights, grass, textures.. everything looks great
 


i didnt know about this Ethan Carter till now. Will check out the reviews and if they are good i'll get it at once. Thanks!

 


You may want to rephrase your question a bit. It seems like you are asking about realism in games.

A graphically intense game can be either cartoony or realistic. The intensity of a game is dependent not on realism but on how much of what sort of resources are handed off to the GPU (and sometimes the CPU). Big draws on GPU usage are lighting, particle effects, antialiasing, polygon count, hi-res textures, etc. These can appear in any game regardless of the realism.

For example Minecraft, played with high fidelity shader mods, is far more graphically intense than the newest Tombraider played on ultra settings. I know because my computer can run TR at 20-50fps, but not minecraft with shaders without jut giving up and producing 3 fps.

On that note you'll be hard pressed to find a game more graphically intense than Minecraft rendering 30+chunks with high-res shader mods running at high settings. (The upcoming Star Citizen maybe?)
 

Do you Know Xplane 10? Try it in Ultra settings

 
The metro redux series, just like crisis 3, can be very taxing on hardware. But I manage on ultra with the sapphire R9 280x toxic – gorgeous! But witcher 2 on uber settings could be something else. I agree with one of the poster saying hitman absolution looking cartoonish like batman. I couldn’t stand the colored neon lighted look of hitman for more than twenty minutes and the toy like way the character is made to move around; as opposed to a smooth moving first person perspective.
