New pc gamer here, Top 5 pc games to test your computers limits?

Mj79 · 10-18-2009, 04:19 AM

Well I'm getting a new laptop , I've decided on a asus g51vx p7350 CPU, nvidia 260m gpu, and 4 gb ddr2

so I'm looking to pick up a few games to try it out , even tho it's not a full blown gaming piece , I think it will hold it's own .. I hope

so ... Top 5 games that will push it's limits

And

will I be able to play these gpu pounding games on my samsung 52a750? Or is that pushing it? Cuz I'm assuming the better the gpu the better it will look on a bigger monitor?

Good list Ill add NFS Shift to that.

thanks guys, I'll try them out for sure. I did hear nfs shift was tough on video cards too. Really wouldn't have thought a driving game wouldbe. But. Guess with all the new detailed graphics running 60 fps it makes sense

So even with a descent processor and the 1 gb gpu in there it's still not enough to run crysis? I must see this game....

Although I've never played it it's hard not to hear about it. WoW ... How's that one, and is there even a one player game in it or is it online only?

Yes you can play crysis with no problem maybe not on high setting but you can play it. Yes there is a single player mode it's pretty good actually. You should be able to find demos of any game you want to try.

Thanks again guys. Anymore come to mind let me know!

As far as WoW. How long does it actually take to get going in the game. I mean after your character development and all that stuff?? This game seems like it just goes forever

Well, although im not as knowledgeable as some of the guys on here, i'll say you cant run Crysis on Very High settings

(oh yeah, and Stalker)

Race Driver GRID

GTA IV will definitely push it to it's limit; it's a horrifically demanding game at the best of times!

And and linkin93, GRID won't even bother that system much really
