Now I'm playing Dead Space Remake, it already looks fucking good...maybe it's even worth to experience with all the max graphical settings

You?

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

only those with path tracing

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Cyberpunk, those neon signs look like porn at max settings. Its sexually attractive.

[Punished Miku]

Indiana Jones
Doom: The Dark Ages

 

[PeteBull]

mgs delta, u get full fat 60fps and much higher IQ even vs ps5pr0

 

[Doggyred]

RDR2 is still the best looking game out there when played on PC. The console version does an injustice to it.

 

[Hohenheim]

Alan Wake 2 with all bells and whistles looks amazing.
Cyberpunk, of course.
Black Myth, Indiana Jones, Doom Dark Ages, Red dead 2, Control.

If you consider mods too, the list gets pretty long.
Dark Souls 2 for example. Totally different game with the enhancement mods.

 

[Gaiff]

Cyberpunk 2077
Alan Wake 2
Black Myth Wukong
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Frontiers of Pandora
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
The Witcher 3 with RT
RDR2 (still no next-gen update)

 

[Fbh]

Anything that benefits heavily from Ray Tracing, like Cyberpunk, Indiana Jones, Alan Wake 2, Wukong, etc.
Consoles still suck at Ray tracing, when it's there it's usually in a limited capacity, and you are usually giving up either 60fps or decent IQ to get it.

I would add GTA V with full ray tracing (GI including second bounce, high res reflections) is worth a look. I think it's one of the best optimised implementations of ray tracing there is and should be materially better than the console versions.

 

[Sophist]

I was going to say battlefront 2 with real life mod but it's already ten years old. (maybe there is a better mod now)

 

[Magic Carpet]

only those with path tracing

Welp, that leaves my RTX 4070 out of the conversation.
I turn on path tracing and I end up switching to browsing Microcenter for something new.

I played CP2077 with full path tracing on my 4070. But yes you would need to leverage frame gen if you need visual smoothness. Otherwise, you can lock to 40fps with 120hz for a nice compromise.

That's not how that gif goes ..

This thread isn't about you.

 

[Gubaldo]

Metro Exodus with full ray tarcing

 

[Gonzito]

So many that it's hard to make a list to be honest. But one recent that comes to my mind is RDR2

Not only the high framerate makes the game feel totally fresh but adding a few mods to improve textures world textures, DLSS4, a mod improving the awful vanilla walking speed plus some roleplay mod to add more life to the world is an absolute incredible experience. I would never go back to Vanilla/Console version and this is just one example

 

[Bojji]

Cyberpunk with PT is probably the best answer. Also:

- Wukong (PT)
- Indiana Jones (PT)

 

[Ulysses 31]

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

 

[daninthemix]

These have been PC showcase titles for 5+ years at this point, and still are:

Cyberpunk
Control
Metro Exodus

 

[DenchDeckard]

I second RDR2 - I completed it on Xbox one X and I thought that looked amazing, but the PC version is leagues ahead of the console versions.

Also the usuals, anything Remedy, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Metro Exodus, Wukong, Indiana jones.

Shit, almost everything.

 

[Holammer]

When I upgraded my computer earlier this year, one of the first games I played was Spyro Trilogy, maxed out at 120fps (higher breaks physics) with 2x smooth motion FG. A PS4 era game, but it remains a 30fps game on current gen consoles. Not patching the game is a disgrace.
Did the same with Returnal (full RT maxed), but used Lossless Scaling 2x instead because the game's own FG is a piss poor implementation. Arkham Knight got the same treatment too.
Horizon and Guardians of the galaxy, but I only dipped my toes there.
Played High on Life, it's well made and ran flawlessly at 240fps maxed out. DLC chugged in places because of shit level design

All games feel immaculate at such framerates and it's the norm for me now and I can go higher.

Here's a mystery game running emulated at 4k/240 w/ LoD patch, disabled dynamic resolution and 2x Smooth Motion on top of that.
I need to get a 480hz display.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Any UE5 game.

 

[tylrdiablos]

Another vote for Alan Wake 2 here. It was one of those games where I was happy to just wander around and take in the visuals.

Great example as well. The console version is a shimmering mess. The only way to enjoy this one for me is with DLSS

 

[forsakkenSoul]

Just to add to what some users already said: Cyberpunk 2077 with mods. I'm playing it right now, and the vanilla game without mods already looks great, but with mods it looks even better.

Alan Wake 2 and the other games with path tracing, I haven't had the chance to try them yet, but they're also good options.

 

[OLED_Gamer]

Dead Space between PC and PS5 is not a big difference at all. If anything, i'd say console is better because the stuttering is drastically cut down on console (have the 100% on Steam, platinum on PS5).

Anything with heavy RT will be the games you are looking for. This obviously is based on whether your PC is actually high end enough to play at these settings.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Most UE5 games.

 

[Shubh_C63]

All Remedy games. CONTROL, Alan Wake

 

[yet_another_alt]

Easy answer is Cyberpunk but the real answer is modded Skyrim VR

 

[darrylgorn]

Cyberpunk 2077
STALKER 2
Black Myth: Wukong
Oblivion Remastered
Jedi: Survivor
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

 

[Ainem Enamas]

Cyberpunk is the first that comes to the mind

 

[Ainem Enamas]

I rather focus on gameplay

Fuck yea

 

[Ainem Enamas]

Indiana Jones
Doom: The Dark Ages

I really wish more games would use Id Tech engine

 

[Ainem Enamas]

Does it have Ray tracing on PC?

 

[Ainem Enamas]

Have played the game? I always thinking buying it when it's on sale

 

[Hudo]

Cyberpunk 2077

And if you are only in for the graphics and not for the game itself: Red Dead Redemption 2 is still really beautiful on PC.

 

[Black_Stride]

• Alan Wake 2
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Control
• Assassins Creed Shadows
• Quantum Break - We can finally play it without using the Upscaler(itll still stress your system)
• Indiana Jones
• Black Myth Wukong
• Avatar Frontiers of Pandora
• Star Wars Outlaws

If we talk about mods then the list gets much much higher once you add in something like SSGI.
Borderlands all of them change dramatically with Global Illumination.

 

[Gp1]

MSFS2024

I would go that route too and add DCS.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Wrong thread


Lord of the Fallen is my choice and from yesteryear Crysis 3.

 

[StueyDuck]

Pretty much anything with true path tracing

 

[JimmyRustler]

As someone who just went to PC with a 5090 a few weeks ago I would say… no game… and all of them.

If you expect something radically different than what you get on consoles you are going to be sorely disappointed. It's not the early 00s any more where you go from PS2 games to Doom 3. It's still the same games but with a better quality. It also depends on your setting. I'm playing on a 42 inch OLED as monitor and with all the improvements combined (4k res, textures, lighting, high framerate) every game looks incredible. Like Kingdom Come 2 for instance. The picture is crystal clear, the colours vibrant and the framerate smooth as hell. I can literally put my face in front of the screen and the background landscape is… clear. No blur whatsoever. It's absolutely incredible.

 

[PeteBull]

Does it have Ray tracing on PC?

Look here, hardware rt lumen vs software rt lumen, quite the difference, but ofc performance hit is not small at all:

Thats why the "coding to the metal" and "optimisation" have its limits, u need dat raw hardware performance for next gen visuals after all...

 

[Topher]

RDR2 is still the best looking game out there when played on PC. The console version does an injustice to it.

My secret Santa pal GudOlRub bought me RDR 2 on Steam and I have to agree. It is fantastic looking game.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That part.

Patiently waiting for the remaster where they add better textures and RT.

 

[Seomel]

Cyberpunk with Path Tracing is good stress test.
Wukong, gta iv rtx remix, portal rtx remix
There are games like stalker 2 etc, but theyore unoptimized which makes them harder to run

 

[GymWolf]

People always tells me how fucking shit ue5 games look on console.

If we consIder that they have been the best looking games of the gen for a while, i guess pc is the way to go.
