Well, Crysis 2 is currently the most powerful game out there in terms of what you're looking for. (I'll assume you mean play normally and not do what Retech and Icu recommended) And computers powerful enough to run it at max settings exist now. Back when the first Crysis came out, it was made with future computer technology in mind so that upcoming computers would be able to run it. And now that we're at that stage, there isn't a game out there that is going to challenge your computer if you can run Crysis 2 on max settings.

Well, there is only one 'game' that I can think of that you certainly cannot run at actual settings, however its fairly obvious why you can't Run Conway's Game of Life at its actual specifications.

 

EDIT: it would certainly not be in system requirements lab's list. Besides System Requirements lab doesn't actually tell you if you can actually max out a game in the first place.

Slighty unrelated: Here's a game, that despite it's flawed control scheme, is probably one of the greatest 2 player co-op experiences out there at the moment.

 

 

Resident Evil 5

Well duh, that's because the installer doesn't work properly, it leaves out one file.

Umm... No, that is just an implimentation of Conway's game of life. Conway's game of life in its actual specifications would require unlimted memory to store an endless 2 dimensional grid

Well, that is not exactly a perfect analogy, but meh its not worth argueing about the analogy. I was just answering the question "I want to know a game that my computer will have problem running", and I provided a 'game' that your computer would have problems running (specifically its not possible for any computer to actually run it).

The according to that test, my computer will perfectly handle any game at max settings

 

Hmmmm, try running a bitmap with dimentions 99,999 by 99,999. (Its possible in Paint, but requires you to think laterally)

 

I mean, if your computer can't actually run Paint at max settings then your claim is like a super heavyweight of the world...who is unable to tie his own shoelaces.

 

You might also want to try late game Rise of Mankind: A New Dawn, for Civ 4.

Pretty sure your computer will begin struggling towards the end.

 

Finally, Armada 2526 will probably cause slow down by turn 500, especially if you got the Steam Version.

Be careful though, the memory leak means that if you have been playing for a few hours then when you try to exit your computer will lock up.

Crysis 2 is a [cabbage]ty console port with boring gameplay and subpar graphics. Crysis 1 on the other hand was a work of 3D art, and a decent game too.

 

I have (had) dual 5830s and an i7 930, and Civ 4 begins to take about half a minute between turns by 2000 if you play the 18 player realistic spawns scenario. Graphically there's little I can't max though, unless I went multi-monitor.

 

On this topic, never buy a graphics card from Sapphire. They have awful customer support and you have to ship repairs to China at your own cost. It was cheaper for me to ship it back to NCIX, pay the restocking fee and get a new one than it would have been to get it repaired through Sapphire. So far it's cost me $30 for returning it, and I've lost probably close to $100 in potential Bitcoin profit.

Get Diablo/Diablo II Battlechest!!!!!!!!! How many times do I have to tell people (O.O wait this might be the first time I've told everybody minus Mather) to get the game? Then I can spill every darn cheat (there is a cheat for not having to use the game disc after the inital install) I know and then I can have a party(group) and then we can kick all three brother's butts!

 

The three brothers are Diablo (I believe he's the youngest; fought in act 4), Mephisto (fought in act 3, use fire), and Baal (oldest?; hardest; Expansion Act 5)

Man, the mention of Diablo II reminded me of 3 older games I have that I just don't play, that I should play. KOTOR, Diablo II and TA: Kingdoms (not exactly a game everyone would like, it's a required taste lol)

My new favourite band of the week; 'She.'

 

An example:

The music video is, of course, unrelated. But still awesome.

 

And also! I finally found an online presence that is almost certainly one of my old best online-friends! Huzzah if I'm right!

My thoughts on the song, I liked how the Techno faded in and out WITH the lyrics instead of the lyrics being the same the entire song. Other than that I'd say it's an average Techno song. The Video however was awesome.

Not a bad song, not a bad song at all.

Only complaint is the distortions in it...I am the sort of person who turns to Base of -6 and the Treble to +6 simply to remove the bits where the speaker gives up and plays a flat beat or crackles feebly.

 

Also, treble is awesome. :thumbup:

It's a REALLY big shaft.

I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.

how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

At first I was like, eww....and then...it kinda grew on me. O.o

 

I don't know what it is about a lot of Japanese music, but it's awesome for the most part. Though, the above is "meh" overall, it does have that addictive twinge to it.

You can pass the test and still have problem with it..

 

I mean you could play Minecraft, but yet you would freeze if you let off 100 TNT

My computer doesn't freeze if I do that. I've tried.

 

Seriously, for the 4th of July, I just made a massive TNT tower in Minecraft and lit it off, since I couldn't do actual fireworks for fear of lighting stuff on fire. Then I blew up some Minecraft trees and stuff. Good times.
