i have a pretty good GPU now.

besides crysis, what old games can i go back and play on ultra-super-max settings and would still give my GPU a good workout?

or what games looked really good on ultra at the time but struggled to deliver fps, and would now be a joke for a modern high end GPU?

Friendly reminder for those looking here about !videogamesuggestions@lemmy.zip. (Stuck this question on the thread of links to video game suggestion threads started outside the community, so no need to repost at my community.) Wish I could answer your question but I always just happily played on whatever graphics my laptop would run and paid high-end graphics zero attention, so no idea. Fun question though!

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
