Looking for a game to test my rig
I'm looking for a game to test my new rig
i7-2600K (8MB Cache) Overclocked to 4.1GHz
2x 2GB Radeon HD 6950 (crossfire)
8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz
I'd prefer a single player RPG or a MMO, but I'm looking for something beautiful, to crank up the settings and see how she runs.
Thanks.

Rift.
Age of Conan.
The Witcher.
Outside of MMOs/RPGs there's always Crysis 1/2.

Thanks, I was thinking about AoC, I wish Skyrim was out or at least closer to release.
Crysis, you really can't beat it's specs.
Got a Game Idea? Look Here!
Not sure about Crysis warheads crossfire compatability, but you should try that. probably harder on the comp than crysis 2.
Lord of the Rings Online on the ultra settings with DX11.
I'm not kidding...

I wouldnt "test" a rig on an mmo....a single player FPS or something would be best to get a consistant look at where your rig is at. There are tools for this specific reason. No one measures their rigs in...."my wow's fps are this much" or "my AoC runs with all settings maxed like butter" theres too many factors that can affect your performace in MMO's. Take a single player FPS with benchmark tools (Crysis or something), or something like 3dMark, Heaven Benchmark....you'll have some real information to compare things to.
i agree, LOTRO is amazing graphically,
also, try crysis as suggested above, but set it ALL to maximum, if your computer can kill that then your on the top levels
if you are looking to test raw processing power Microsofts Flight Sim X brought systems to their knees worse than crysis ever did.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm looking for something to cut the new rigs teeth on, but also something I'm going to enjoy, I'm not a huge fps fan and Crysis never called out to me what about the newest Call of Duty or Battlefiled Bad Company 2?
forsaken world is surprisingly demanding ressource wise so i would use that!(behing free and all)
me either on crysis 2 it's just over hyped, try cod black ops, homefront, portal 2, metro 2033, or dragon age 2.

Thanks, those are some good ideas.
Of those last mentioned, Metro 2033 is the most demanding, if you turn up some of the settings ^^
Good to know, that one piqued my interest.
I bought Metro 2033 purely to benchmark my system since it was on sale in steam. Still haven't played a minute of it.
Don't like the game or just no interest in it?
Metro 2033 is probably the most demanding game on the market as video cards go for real gameplay. StarCraft 2 has a reputation for pushing a processor hard, I think.
If you just want to push the hardware hard and see what it can do, then you could try Champions Online, which will push a processor very hard. With that rig, you'd probably be capped at around 80-100 frames per second even on low video settings in the busier areas, because that would be the processor bottleneck for you.
Video cards are a different matter, but if you want to push the video cards hard, you can use /renderscale, which effectively renders the game at a much higher resolution. The appropriate use of the command is as in "/renderscale 2" without the quotes, and perhaps with a different number in place of 2. Use 4 instead of 2 and you'll probably bring the frame rate to a crawl; if that doesn't do it, then 10 would probably either lock up the frame rate or crash the game entirely.
Champions Online has a pretty generous free trial, too, which will let you see the full game engine. If you're looking mainly for pretty graphics, and less for a game that will give your hardware a workout, you might be less interested.
That's because it wasn't programmed to take advantage of multiple cores. They patched it to sort of fix it, but it's still extremely processor heavy in the graphics department. The game was made right before the gigahertz race gave way to multicore development. It was assumed that 4 and 5 ghz machines would be the norm through Flight Sim X's lifecycle, so it was programmed to rely on clock speed. MS got a ton of egg in their face on that one.
I am amused you suggested this, though. Back in the old days of 286's and 386's, MS Flight Sim was the benchmark. "Yeah, but can it run Flight Sim?" was a common question.

I dont understand why people waste money on super rigs like dual video card setups. Ive got a 6850 and it runs anything on max settings why 2? hell direct x 11 has been out for a while and its not really being taken advantage of because they know if they release a super requirement game alot of the population might not be able to run it, which I think holds back things.
See what I mean people love to waste money.. enjoy it while you can.
Not sure if this one is anything anymore:
Stalker Call of Pripyat with the Complete mod...
good one, although the OP rig will get 120fps maxed out most likely (im running a 5850 OC at 45-60 fps maxed out DX11). Metro 2033 is probabely the best benchmark game out there at the moment though. If you can get 40+ fps on that game maxed out, you have a monster rig. But with that setup you don't even need to "test" it with games since there are no games out there that make your rig sweat =P (unless your gaming on a resolution higher than 1080P, and even than 2x6950 are great).
