What modern game is worth to play on a high-end PC, with max graphical settings - if you would compare it to the current gen consoles?

Returnal is one of the best high-end peripheral showcases. That game was built for 32:9 Ultrawide monitors, high refresh rates and 8000Hz polling mice.

 
I don't have it yet but I guess Cyberpunk 2077 is still the current game to look really impressive on ultra settings 1440p or more on the PC. A long time ago it was Witcher 3 and Crysis before that.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart also looks amazing but Cyberpunk 2077 would probably be more impressive because of the huge futuristic city with lots of npcs.

GTA VI would overtake Cyberpunk 2077 as the next one.
 
I like the look of good graphics with high framerate. I would say that visual fluidity, or whatever you would call it, is just as important to the visual appeal as the textures and lighting. However, Cyberpunk fits the bill nicely with RT or PT.
 
Can't go wrong with the classics...

Ah, I see you've installed the widescreen hack from nexusmods. That's a game changer. Pong never looked so good. I hope you've also installed the mod that forces shader compilation at the start of the game to remove all stutters.
 
Any old game that's frame capped on consoles and that the devs still haven't unlocked for the latest consoles. Some examples could be Kingdom Come Deliverance or Dragon's Dogma.

I recently spent some time playing baldurs gate 3 and it looked better than I expected. It's not comparable to cyberpunk (I also recently started the expansion) but it looks way better than expected at 4k/120fps.

Battlefield 6 doesn't have any Ray tracing but I think it looks pretty good as well.

RDR2 is still up there as one of the best looking games IMO.

Returnal looks great too.
 
mgs delta, u get full fat 60fps and much higher IQ even vs ps5pr0

I came here to talk about this one. This is the most beautiful game I've seen so far on PC with everything maxed out.

Funny enough, the best-looking game on consoles is Death Stranding 2, and on PC it's MGS Delta.
 
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.
Is Witcher 3 that much different on PC, because I'm playing it on Series X, now, and it already looks good (graphical mode) aside from 30fps framerate - but since I use Ultra Motion, it doesn't matter it too much
