Just bought a new PC for BF3 when it comes out. Besides the obvious Crysis, I need some game recommendations to really work out my new graphics card. I've been reading Metro's a good one. All recommendations are welcome whether it be artistic or technical graphics. I'm using two GTX 580s in SLI so the sky is the limit.

To be honest nothing will touch your SLI config of 2 580s. I got a SLI setup like that (see sig) and it blows everything away.

Metro 2033 is a good one in that it looks amazing. If you want to push the hardware to it's limits, put the Witcher 2 on max settings and then turn on ubersampling.

Well I can run pretty much everything on max (even with mods) with my single GTX 570 so I doubt you find anything to really push your setup to it's limits. Modded Crysis, Oblivion and GTA4 look fantastic, also Witcher 2 or Crysis 2 on max

Dirt 3 was mindblowing in the videos, Witcher looks great and haven't dug too deep into the others but I definitely will

Nothing can push your system, ive got 2 xf 6950's and nothing touches it, only badly optimised games. I'm playing Dirt 3 heaps and it is very very pretty maxxed at 70fps.

Crysis2, Metro, ARMA2, Jsut Cause2.

Also the enw Deus Ex is awesome, not the best graphics but really good game.

Also check out The Witcher2 and Shogun2, two of this gens best games.

I always recommend World In Conflict. Superb destruction and explosions. Underrated, has any RTS passed it yet graphically? Not yet IMHO.

Overkill bud, by the time you actually need 2 gtx 580's for gaming, they will be half the price or have a single card just as good. I have a nice rig myself but just 1 580 have another slot in the MB if another is ever needed for sli, but it would take alot more then one game to go waste 500 more on another card that is just not needed. Unless you just like wasting money.
