RPGs to push my new grafix card

I just got a new graphics card and I'm looking for some games to make use of it. Please come up with some graphically demanding games so that I may push it as far as possible. It might also be non-RPG games (e.g. something like STALKER). The most demanding ones I've tried so far is The Witcher 3 (already finished), Dark Souls 3 (not really that demanding) and Oblivion modded oblivion (semi-shitty, crashes all the fucking time and is mostly dependent on the CPU).

not RPGs, but the new Ass Creed games are by far the most GPU and CPU demanding games on the market. Even heavier than RDR2.

Doesn't Kingdom Come: Deliverance have high end graphics? My machine could only run it on medium but it's 6 years old.

To play the game locally, it is recommended that you have an nVidia GPU with 12 GB or more of memory, and CUDA installed.

I recommend Grim Dawn, it really taxed my new GeForce 1050 Ti at max settings so I had to walk them back some.

the true test is running games in 4k. get a 4k monitor and I bet most games in the past decade will tear your new little gpu a new asshole
Almost fried my GPU when I found out that GTA V was running default on 4K :lol:.

Your "medium" is low, second out of five presets. KCD on v.high/ultra is very demanding since it runs on CryEngine 3.8.6, an engine that can make use of 8c/16t i9 9900k but can't utilize those threads properly and needs lots of threads running at highest clocks possible, much like Watch Cocks 2. GPU bound it is too, it's CryEngine after all. Old CryEngine.

Surely you finally have a stronk enough graphics card to handle 9 monitors in a 3x3 grid, each of them running a separate instance of GRIMOIRE

In the GRIMOIRE MATRIX, each monitor is tagged 1 to 9. As all 9 instances are running, your job is to play the game while simultaneously reciting pi, inputting commands in the monitor screen that corresponds to the latest digit in the recitation

If any party is wiped out, you take the hammer on the side of the table and smash the corresponding monitor, then swig a beer

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is probably the most graphically intensive RPG around, but some of that is down to poor optimization because
it's CryEngine after all. Old CryEngine.
Yeah.

Other than that, you're just looking at modding newer Bethesda games (which are hardly RPGs). Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is another good choice. Maybe go and play games like Total War: Warhammer and Vermintide 2. They're not RPGs, but they are Warhammer.

Try a 4K monitor, as others said, also try a 144Hz monitor, once you get used to 100+Hz fluidity you won't ever go back to 60, let alone sub-60. Also Ultrawide can be fun.

Try running BOTW on an emulator, that's pretty demanding

Most modern RPGs are heavily CPU-dependent honestly.
It isn't really an "RPG" or a "good game" or "worth playing" but Anthem might be good?
Tried it for 20 minutes because I got the EA pass for free and it actually ran pretty well and looked real nice.

Yosharian, I agree that the fluidity is better with a 144Hz monitor, simply because our eyes can still register changes above 60Hz.
But, be careful not to fall victim to anyone claiming an even higher monitor Hz will do wonders for you in the future.
It's just a marketing gimmick because human eyes have their own limits!
Also, there's the weird Soap Opera Effect

Honestly, most processing-heavy game I touched in last 3 year is Deadfire. 3 upgrades after and it still runs like shit with 15 frames in naval combat. Witcher 3, Inquisition an TOW were nowhere near in sheer hardware power this Obsidian's baby required for stable 30 fps.

A modern version of the Holy Grail quest - find a Unity engine game that doesn't run like crap

You don't buy graphics cards to play new games. You buy a graphics card to flex with in your signature on other gaming forums along with the rest of your PC specs. That way when some integrated graphics peasant tries to help somebody else you can swoop in and practically e-bully them into suicide.

Feel free to mention it anywhere though, not just gaming places. I've known people that have tattoo'd it on their back and even put their specs on their grandmother's tombstone. What you have is a sports car. Are you going to just let it sit in the garage or will you rev that bad boy up at 3 AM in suburbia to tell everyone, "I HAVE A HUGE FUCKING DICK" ?

I bet you can't run PoE Deadfire on maximum settings without fps drops and I didn't even bother to look at what card you will be using
