New specs:

Duo core e6600
GeForce 8800gtx
2gigs ram,
2 x 250 hdd
etc..

Ive got half life 2,BF2(didnt care for 2142), fear, im in the july world in conflict beta, C&C 3, and supreme commander(which i thought was boring as sin)

So have there been any other games or even demos lately that i could use to push this thing graphically? Im into everything(rpg, strat, sports, shooter, puzzle, whatever) so recommend me anything good! Im gonna pick up RBS3:Vegas and check that out, but anything else?

If you're looking for something pretty, you could try Call of Juarez. The gameplay really isn't anything to sneeze at, but it is a solid game that's fun most of the time, and the graphics definitely don't disappoint. It's worth checking out if you can find it for cheap (I give it three weeks :lol: ).

stalker, lord of the rings online, company of heroes, titan quest, age of empires 3. All great games. EVen if you dont like MMOs, you should try lord of the rings online, its almost like a single player RPG. With some great AI! (aka the other players lol)

I have fun with gun, but if u wanna have see some cool games id say, buy darkness as soon as it is release, i hear dits ocming out for pc, irght:? and Bioshock, august 21st, thaty seems cool, eh? Right now, im playing some demos that i downloaded at steam, i pleyed infernal and that seemed pretty cool, but ive heard it sucks soooo. Half-life 2 man, and get hte neweer versions, episode one, and episode two, they rock. F.E.A.R is really nice, and so ir Far Cry, but they are old now.

but a review is only one persons opinion. And yes im aware of the common "top notch" games, however i wanted a more broader opinion. One person can say x game is good, while 5 others may say, not its not, and thats waht i was looking for. Also like i said at the top of my post, i was seeign if anyone knew a game that could push my computer, or maybe some new demo had come out recently, something like that

Hmmmmm.......Nope, I got nothin'.Guess you wasted a lot of money :lol: j/k

Company of Heroes

FSX

M2TW (although I read on the TWC forums that there is an 8 series driver issue that causes the card to not render shadows or something but I assume it will get resolved)

Supreme Commander

That is all I can think of recommending right now and make sure you oc your CPU if you have good cooling.

Far Cry. It won't push your system, but it's a very cool game. Check out TweakGuides to find out how to create a quicksave & quickload for it.

I think Ghost Recon Advanced Warfigher is supposed to be a graphically demanding game. Alass, there does not seem to be a way to get a quicksave and quickload for it :(

Hey mang, how'd you get quicksave for the PC version of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter? I will forever be indebted to you if you can help me out with that.

Yes. He was being sarcastic, considering the tone. But I can understand if it didn't sound like it (actually I don't).

Gosh. Your willing to spend your money on games (some of which you might not even like) just to push your system.

Anyway. Supreme Commander should be able to bring most systems on their knees at max settings. You could always just run loads of benchmarks, if you really want to cripple your system.
