It's worth noting that more demanding =/= better graphics. The most demanding games are usually demanding due to being shitty ports or because they haven't been optimized properly. I haven't played Dead Rising 3 but apparently that's a prime example.

Far cry 3 crysis 3 watchdogs due to being broken. Starcraft 2 is hard on the cpu.

Bionic Commando! Game was running at 500+ FPS... Had to limit it.

But 'd say The Witcher 2 and Tomb Raider have pushed my comp the farthest. But I can maintain 60 FPS on them with all the useless 16x AA on and such, which really is overkill.

A lot of the games on that list is just poor optimization. Hitman and GTA IV aren't graphically demanding. They're average looking.

I don't know whop made that list but it's a bad list. I check benchmark and there are most demanding games out there is clearly crysis 3. It's also the best looking game out there and it's well optimized.

Arma 3
Battlefield 3-4
Witcher 2
Crysis 1-2-3
Tomb Raider 2013
Far Cry 3
And lastly GTA 4!!!.. why??.. with iCenhancer mod installed ahahaha

Dead Rising 3 should be on that list

The only game I saw that was demanding was Crysis 3. The I can run at 60+ fps.

Dark souls tho.

Company of Heroes 2 surprisingly.

How about n4g put up a Top 10 Horribly Optimized PC games

Shouldn't the title be "Top 8 Most Poorly Optimized PC games?"

Just because it doesn't run well on top of the line video cards, doesn't mean it's graphically demanding. They could've been optimized better and the fact that CoD even runs poorly on such an old engine just goes to show how little they care about PC optimizations.

Some of the games on the list are demanding because they are poorly optimized ports. COD: Ghosts for example shouldn't take a GTX 670 to run at 1080P at ultra settings when the PS4 can run the same game at the same setting while using a GPU with less than half the power.

Isn't Star Citizen made with high end PCs specifically in mind, and its not even on this list?

very poorly written i dont think this person has ever benchmarked with a pc in their life

Have purchased a graphic card to play Crysis 3 and then again for Battlefield 4. Now if another game appears with high demanding graphics, wallet is empty :p

Guild Wars 2 (dat art style)
War Thunder
Witcher 2
Batman Arkham City
Crysis series (first game was so much more impressive though due to the scale, locale and amount of assets in one area)
STALKER with the complete mod
Skyrim Modded
Metro Series
Sleeping Dogs
Wargame: Airland Battle
Assassins Creed 3 (terrible game though)
Battlefield 3 -4
Farcry 3
Tomb Raider

My own personal list of great looking games I have played

lol just lol all those games are playable with a dual core and 4 gb ram and a gtx 750 or r7 250x just turn the anti aliasing off shadows on medium and no blur and you can play easily. All this marketing make victims.
