If you've never heard of it, it's because it's an EGS exclusive.

Allan Wake 2. Not without reason though. It's not poor optimization like some other demanding games, but a case where it may be the best graphics this year as well.

It seems the list is like that right now.

Cities Skylines II, Ark Ascended, Alan Wake 2 and all Unreal Engine 5 games, except maybe Jusant, are the current heavy weight champs, in terms of gpu needs.

Hopefully it stays that way. I'd hate to see her if she gets Steamed.

I hear it scales horribly with PC value.
Meaning the greater your PC cost, the Worse the game plays.

I also hear they coming out with Nagging Children Simulator 2024 next year, which is supposed to cost a fortune.

Not really a heavyweight champ. It's very, very badly made, ignoring basic GPU development principles: https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/

So why is Cities: Skylines 2 so incredibly heavy on the GPU? The short answer is that the game is throwing so much unnecessary geometry at the graphics card that the game manages to be largely limited by the available rasterization performance. The cause for unnecessary geometry is both the lack of simplified LOD variants for many of the game’s meshes, as well as the simplistic and seemingly untuned culling implementation. And the reason why the game has its own culling implementation instead of using Unity’s built in solution (which should at least in theory be much more advanced) is because Colossal Order had to implement quite a lot of the graphics side themselves because Unity’s integration between DOTS and HDRP is still very much a work in progress and arguably unsuitable for most actual games. Similarly Unity’s virtual texturing solution remains eternally in beta, so CO had to implement their own solution for that too, which still has some teething issues.

Ah yes, saw Alex's tweet yesterday.

Let's see, maybe they will fix it.

My wife has few needs in her PC, so my kid has jumped her spot in the upgrade chain. She just got my RX580 when I upgraded to a 7800 XT
