Hi if i have a core i7 cpu with 12Gb ram & an ati 1gb screen card, which game will give me the most of this hardware? i don't like sport games. i like fps, rts... things like that. thanks
Crysis can still do a job if you max out the AA. GTA IV is also pretty-good at stressing on full details. Other than those 2, maybe Supreme Commander, though I haven't played it. I've also seen benchmarks to show that Metro 2033 is hard on just about anything right now, again I haven't played it myself. You know, games don't have to stress hardware to the max to look good and run well at the same time. If you like racing games you should try Dirt 2, Flatout Ultimate Carnage, GRID, and Need for Speed Shift. The original Dirt even runs slower than Dirt 2 and Grid in some races (mostly the ones with more than 4 vehicles. If you have a good gamepad (like an Xbox 360 control) then most of the "games for windows" multiplatform games are as good (or better) on PC than on Xbox 360.
What you should do is run the benchmark for Final Fantasy 14 and tell us your score. This game is going to demand high end systems. Lots of great systems finish with bad scores. You can find it here, come back and tell us what you got. Crysis and Dragon Age take some power. Both of those make my fans kick in pretty steady.

although watching the benchmark you can see its smooth, kind of foolish.
I loled. Sounds like he doesn't know too much about his own system.
Oh and with your 12GB of RAM, why play just one game? You could be playing Metro, Crysis, and Company of Heroes at the SAME TIME! That's all 12GB is good for.
metro 2033 doesnt have stunning graphics but its so badly optimized , Metro 2033 and stalker are worst optimized games ever and very buggy and clunky ... metro 2033 is still a nice game tho :) couldnt say that about stalker

STALKER is optimized just fine once patched up, and is one of the best games ever.

metro is amazing looking and runs great on my PC on high. And i can max Call of pripyat out with over 60fps consistently.
Thank God, I had a horrible image in my head of you saying "Ati Radeon HD 5/4550 1GB DDR2" You should be able to play all these games on pretty decent settings.
While a fast CPU helps a lot, with modern games, it tends to come down to the video card more when you put settings of a game high enough. 4 GB of ram would have been plenty enough for any game out, more than that lets you run several other applications at the same time.
[QUOTE="dr__mr"]just decent ? the ram amount of 12Gb & the cpu type of core i7 will not get me more to supreme? any RAM above 4GB's wont improve performance at all. Your CPU is good but the video card is THE most important thing in a gaming PC and your is decent....so as your PC is ony going to perform as fast as its slowest component (in this case is your video card) then your PC is regarded as decent for gaming,,,,,not nearly epic.

(or jusr a bit?) will in the future be games that use all the 12Gb & not just 4? (btw, i have a 64bit OS, the system can see all 12Gb).

We are years away from using 12GB's of RAM in games, that amount is only useful for people who do tasks such as heavy Photoshop or video editing or rendering. PERSONALLY, if I was in your shoes I would (and again this is just MY opinion) sell half of your RAM on eBay and also sell you video card and just buy something like a 5870 or GTX 470/80. That would give you a really nice increase in performance.

Sell off 8gb of your ram, sell off your crappy(when compared to the other parts of your rig) video card, maybe downgrade to a speedy i5, and grab the best video card you can with the earnings. :D
Oh and the amount of ram in a video card only matters if you have a huge high resolution screen, eg. 2560x1900, otherwise even a 512mb gddr5 with pwn a 1gb gddr3/4.

Then he would need to also buy a 1156 motherboard. Also the i7 sold used would just pay a new i5 750...so it would only cost him money to do that.
