    Default High-end Games?

    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.

    .....wait...lolwut? An 8600 and a decent CPU with 2 GB of RAM can max all of those games out at decent resolutions. (With little to no AA)

    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.
