Hi, I don't know if this is in the right section but anyways I was wondering if there are any MMORPGs that run on like Dx10+ I have a really great computer, that could run anything and I would like to know whats a good game MMO/FPS/RPG that works really great and that will push my computer to its limits.
hmmm.. Of course generally if you want the best graphics then 'newest' is what you'll wanna go for, but it's not always the case. Stuff like Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Modern Warfare 2 (EVERYTHING 2) , etc might be good places to start.
As far as MMORPGs in general go, since this is an MMO forum after all, Final Fantasy XIV looks like it's going to have gorgeous graphics, and it's supposedly made with the same engine used to make FFXIII, "Crystal Tools"--of course FFXIII is stunningly beautiful, so even though FFXIV shouldn't be expected to have quite as fast and frantic action, you can rest assured it's going to be really gorgeous. There's already some gameplay footage out around Youtube etc but it's generally not recorded in super high quality.
EverQuest 2 probably takes the cake for 'MMORPG that takes the godliest system to run, much less run well' but that's not so much because of its graphics so much as the fact that it's terribly optimized and has always had all kinds of problems with all kinds of video cards and even general 'video card setups' such as SLI mode. A lot of these have been ironed out and it is a STUNNINGLY gorgeous game but from what I hear people to this day struggle severely to run the game on max settings even on the strongest computers and even though the game was released in 2004...
Don't you mean Vanguard? Vanguard is terribly optimized.Quote:

So If you really want to push your rig, get Crysis, Metro 2033, Cryostasis.
MMORPGs? I believe Age of Conan has Direct X 10 support.
For games in general; Metro 2033, Crysis, Bad Company 2, and GTA IV.
Maxed-out Crysis would probably be the ultimate test.
Just make sure you have a back-up computer.
Metro 2033, maxed out, nuff said. It's even more demanding than Crysis.
Metro 2033, it does look great.
Crysis, Aion (Doesn't this run on the crytek engine?), Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Metro 2033, Age of Conan.
Thanks for the info guys, I like how you guys said crysis and metro 2033 I have crysis and Metro 2033, and I have ran both on max settings, they are both real beautiful games, even before I made this thread I had them, but yeah I was just wondering, Metro 2033 is a great game with some beautiful graphics, thats what I am currently playing too XD I just got off of it for a sec to check this thread out really good game.
I'd like to point out that Bad Company 2 has DX11, so if you have a DX11 card you can really test your computer.
Yep they all look nice, and yeah I have a Dx11 card and I do have BfBC2 great game too :P I just want to know whats a good program that takes screenshots of games, I know fraps does but doesn't it mess up the images? And I saw a thread about using Screenshot Pilot but that one didn't seem to work for me.Quote:

I just use Xfire, beats finding a decent image hosting site to upload to.
Age of conan DX 10
Metro 2033 Dx 11
Lagsis Dx 10
Your computer will cry uncle.
ya...if yo uwatch the intro of FF13 before you load or start a game its stunning. I thought the landscape was real til i saw the characters.
So do you guys recommend Xfire or Fraps. I just downloaded fraps and it ain't that bad to be honest, but you said xfire beats having to find a decent uploading site (not the exact words since I am not looking at your post) Does that mean that xfire also uploads it or something? Also EIi whats this about lagsis I can run it maxed out without lag. Also I think I like Metro 2033 than all those other games.
Try GTA IV, it requires a pretty good computer.
Xfire uploads the pictures for you, but you have to have an account.
Yeah I've seen some screenshots of GTA IV on some good computers, looks nice, but I am not really a fan of GTA I mean its a good game, but its not the type that I would like to stick to, I mean graphics aren't everything, but the gameplay isn't all that my style. I mean I did get pretty far in it on my xbox 360 but yeah gta ain't for me and creating an account shouldn't be much of a hassle :P rather than trying to find a good program or going on youtube to find a video of how to get fraps for free, full version anyways.
If you're wanting Youtube videos, FRAPS all the way. As far as I know, Xfire videos can only be upload to the Xfire website.
GTA IV only requires a computer with a good CPU.Quote:

So you need a good quad core but that is just it.
Metro 2033 is the biggest hitter right now, especially if you have a directx 11 card.
Yeah I got a i7 930, Anyways I'll stick to fraps instead, I did find a video for a free fraps, it isn't the lastest but its the closest I could find 3.0.3 and the current one is 3.2.2 but yeah I don't think there would be much of a difference, atleast I hope not XD. Atm I am playing and loving Metro 2033, graphics are amazing and the gameplay is great. If anyone is looking for a great game I would suggest Metro, I am a personal fan of the type of story line that Metro deals with.

Good to know you spent the money on a machine, not for the experiences to be had, but because it's a good machine.
You're a bit like a action-figure collector, eh? Except you probably don't know you bought this machine as a collectable, and your collectable will depreciate in value progressively, until it's worth peanuts.
Eesh, anybody else find this somewhat a melancholy observation?
You completely missed my point. The fact that the computer depreciates in value is of no real importance. I'm not trying to convince you that this poweful computer is a waste because it's only going to depreciate in value, I'm saying from my point of view, you bought the computer and playing the games for the wrong reasons. Read it again.Quote:

However, since he is a gamer, the only thing he has to worry about replacing every year or so is just his video card. and now that we're in the dx 11 age, the cards themselves will still hold SOME of their value, so he can just sell it and put the money up to the upgrad.e
no investment in computers are bad investments. its just how you handle it.
I would rather blow 1,000 on a brand new pc that can run every game out there for a year or two.
My God do you people not understand what I was trying to say? Please tell me it's not that you won't see it, but rather you can't... Please tell me you just mis-understood, and you are capable of comprehending what I said in that post...Quote:

As for your post, comparing PCS to collectibles is highly irrelevant, due to the fact you will be using your "collectible" causing wear and tear. who buys a PC just to have it collect dust? Pointless, try using a different approach if you wan't people to have a better comprehension than said post.
Also there is nothing in this world that keeps its value as if it were day one of the purchase, so there really isnt any point in your post, other than a possible rant of someone having a better pc than you.
I just quite can't believe you haven't understood what I said, and still believe I was talking about collectables and technology depreciation... This is somewhat worrying.Quote:

It may not be visually beautiful, but emulators are a great way to test out sometimes..
PS2 Emulators
Wii Emulator actually looks decent on some games.
Ok then, lets slice it up.Quote:

From your original post, you saidHe spent his money on a MACHINE to play games, and to play games, you need a good rig if you want the full enjoyment out of the game. In a sense, its like movies vs p2p mmos. Would you pay 15$ a month to play a game all month, when ever you want, or just to see 1 movie that you can just rent a few months later for about 5$.Quote:
"Good to know you spent the money on a machine, not for the experiences to be had, but because it's a good machine."
Its all about preferences bro.
Also, you mentioned "for the experiences to be had", isnt that the whole point of buying a videocard? that kinda defeats the purpose of your post, if he didnt care about graphics or eyecandy, he wouldn't have made this thread specifically for high end games.
AS I said, no computer is a "collectible" and i question your intelligence for saying this. A collectible is something thats collected and stored, never used, else its value will be decreased, why would someone collect a PC? You can just swap parts and stay on the line, and most upgrades are only needed probably every 2 or 3 years, so yeah there isnt a big line and he would have made his money back in the time hes used his PC.Quote:
Except you probably don't know you bought this machine as a collectable, and your collectable will depreciate in value progressively, until it's worth peanuts.
it will never be worth peanuts, look at the old 7900 series videocards, for what ever reason, people still sell and use these, and they get good fps in games for the most part, theyre happy, even though the card is stupid old and outdated.
Your post is pointless, and it only makes you seem like a hater.
Well said EIi,
Anways if thats not what you meant, than would you elaborate what your post was suppose to mean, clearly not everyone sees things the same way, so maybe how you saw your post is clearly not how I saw it.
You nearly had it. His enjoyment was coming from what he had purchased, not from what was to be experienced from said purchase; ala, the collectables analogy.Quote:

This whole purist hardcore gamer "gameplay above all else" is just ridiculous. Video games are named rightly so because they are visual experiences. Games looking better makes them more immersive, look prettier and to do that you need a stronger computer or else you will experience lag wich detracts from the overall experience. Now, the OP just wants to see how far he can push his machine to make the most of it. He just wants to have a really great looking interactive experience. What's wrong with that?
I think not. He obviously bought a good machine to play games at a higher standards of graphics, not to... 'collect'. Either way, his computer will play the same standard of graphics available to be run as the time he had bought it. It's not about value but the power it contains. I really don't know what ridiculous point you're trying to make.Quote:
