Discussion What's the most demanding PC game?

[TYPICALHUMAN]

I guess it's Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Do you know anything that puts more pressure on the hardware?

But can it run Crysis?

A Plague Tale Requiem is probably the most demanding title I've played.

Ratchet and Clank:,Rift Appart is very demanding.
It even requires very fast storage to works flawlessly.
3.5GB/s and higher.
Though 64GB RAM are also an option as the game is just 38gigs it can be uploaded into RAM... .
In which case allegedly even HDD is sufficient for smooth experience.
Playing that game without Raytracing is sacrilege.

my point exactly.
After initialy experiencing PS5 version(by watching livestreams and Digital Foundry demonstrations),I cannot imagine enjoying HDD experince if I ever play it.
It can be laggy even during gameplay(portals aside),though that is probably mostly when Raytracing is used.

SATA SSD is obviously much better , but that is not saying much because it still sucks.
Well portals do.
Normal gameplay is probably mostly fine.
Portals on PC...even strongest PCs and fastest SSDs are slighlty behind PS5 in regard of smoothness of portals/rifts.
To be fair though Playstation 5 has custom SSD controller unavailible on PC.
It is possible they patched it or will patch it.

My SSD is in theory sufficiently fast with 3.5GB/.
Would be interesting to test it.
Maybe someday.

Edit:
Sadly guy did not declare the model and declared speed of his Nvme.
Performance RT on PS5 is closer to 1440p than 1080p he used on PC.

Moving post to Opinions and Experiences.

No specific technical issue - just discussion. More applicable category.

Lately it seems the initial release of most games is the hardest game to run. Then they optimize and patch it, or the GPU vendor makes an improved driver, but you rarely see the follow up news.
