Supreme Commander is more CPU intensive than GPU intensive, you can max it out on an X1900 (What I have). I would say Company of Heroes is more graphically demanding, or Oblivion, also try DiRT.

I've maxed out CoH on a 7600GT, 1GB RAM, and P4 3Ghz... it isn't very demanding at all.

you could also download 3dmark06 to benchmark with.

Edit* As for games, F.E.A.R. is pretty intensive too, and has a built in benchmark.

What resolution? My computer would get eaten alive by CoH at 2560x1600, and it's no slouch.

Out of curiousity, do you happen to remember the benchmark results? Or the average FPS you got while playing.

My CoH benchmark results = average FPS of 142. I was shocked too. :shock:

Flight Simulator X has always brought machines to their knees, regardless of what API it uses. Even overclocked quad-core systems with dual 8800GTX cards and 4GB of RAM can't max out that game smoothly.

Solitaire

Especially after you win and the card starts jumping around the screen. Many computers have been fried trying to process that graphical beast.

Eh, its pretty demanding. I have a e4400@ 2.66 / 2 gigs of Patriot / 8800 GTS 320 factory o'ced. I have problems running it at 1400 * 900 with 4 x AA and high settings not ultra. I actually keep the physics/shadows/reflections low and its iffy.

Thought it runs at like 1380 * XXX flawlessly. Just when I hit the next resolution the fps is not to my liking.

Most of you are listing games that are poorly optimised, not graphically demanding (e.g. FSX and Dirt).

I would say Oblivion maxed with AA+HDR is up on the list, as is Supreme Commander with maxed details (although, it's still a CPU bottlenecked game).

My comp can handle Oblivion and SupCom with everything, and I mean everything, maxed at 1680x1050 in XP. I'm downloading the FSX demo now to see how well I can handle it, though from what everyone is saying I'm not very optimistic.

I tryed to play FX demo. I was thinking " oh i only have 19" LCD i am sure i can easily max this game out". So i put ALL detailes to max and 16xAA, 16xAF, and transparency AA through nvidia control panel. Happily ran the game. And it was running at around 10FPS when i was still down on land.

SupCom with shaddows easily. It will chew through all the processing time on a quadcore if you let it and it will eat all of your memory until it crashes. Sad thing is i like TA and its graphics more now in direct comparison....

I think your CPU is maybe bottlenicking your GPU.

Those game's even with a 8800GTX wouldn't get 60FPS @ 1920x1200.

Yeah, it's a big bottleneck, I'm thinking to buy a Q6600
