[SCUBA]

i need the name of the most hd demanding game is it the
MFS2000 or quake .....

 

[Guygye]

I dont know but I'd guess it would be one of the knew TL titles with tons of polygons and lights.

or

D2

 

[Shazam]

UT with A3D on.

hd=hard disk? Or do you mean hardware?

From what I've read around here Deus Ex is capable of bringing any system to it's knees. Never played it myself, don't even know what it is!

How about Ultima 9: Ascension

 

[slicksilver]

for me, it is deus ex....although I hear lots of people telling me that geforce isn't supported on this platform......i got a frame rate of 5!!!! :|...my config is celery 466, 256 mb ram, 13 gb hdd, v6600 geforce and the normal stuff....

Deus Ex will make ANY machine its bitch

 

[Brig]

I'm a little surprised about the comments about Deus Ex. It runs fine for me, and I'm almost through the game...no glitches whatsoever. The reason I'm surprised is because I'm still using a C300A on a BH6 board, with an old WD 4.5g drive, TNT2 Ultra. Go figure.

Motocross Madness 2 with the graphics detail all the way up and the res.

 

[utopia]

Hmm... the Q3 NV GF2 Ultra level, i havent seen higher than 20FPS...

 

[downhiller80]

MXM2 isn't that bad. Runs at 1024x768 everything on better than a lot of games will on my rig.

Of course if you put it at 1600x1200 then that's a different matter, but it's still not as punishing as a lot of games would be at that res.

If you don't include the graphics card, the most demanding game has got to be Championship Manager (soccer management game). The latest version which is out in November has a database of over 40000 real-life players and staff. You can run up to 26 leagues at once all with their own independent league rules, transfer windows. All the leagues are fully interactive with each other including things like media rumours, player and team stats, international competitions, and the ability to view other ongoing matches as you play your own. One save game (compressed) can be anywhere from 500MB to over 1GB containing up to 20 years of historical data from your career and the teams you manage. Running one season on the version I have now, which only has 16 leagues, on a P3 700E can take up to one day (about 12 hours) of continuous (and I do mean continuous) play.

Just a shame there are no real graphics only windows style drop down menus and background pictures.

Ultima Ascension is the most hardware demanding game in the world.

AFAIK there isnt a PC setup that can use the game with all options and details set to the max and still get 60+ FPS at 1024*768*32 and up.

doom 2 j/j

Unreal Tounament, Just if you don't have a Voodoo card.

Thought it was Falcon 4.0. I don't have it but I have read what people have wrote about it in other forums and it sounds like it really loads down the cpu. I think the damn thing supports 4-way multiprocessing.

 

[Warrenton]

I have to agree Falcon 4.0 is a hog. With my system (P3 800 GF2 32MB, 512MB ram) at 800X600 I never exceed 40FPS, and in the heat of a campaign it can drop to under 20.

Another vote for Ultima 9 Ascension. That game has got to need a 2GHz machine and an NV25 to run smoothly or something.

Serious Sam

 

[ElFenix]

u9 runs pretty damned well on a v3 and p2 400

 

[Chris A]

Not a game but My HP deskjet 750 can be a pain

 

[Sunner]

Diablo II Direct3D mode(or Glide for that matter).
In some cases it will work fine, but in many cases it wont, my comps are all such cases, one using a GF DDR, one a V3-3K and the last a V2-12 MB.

 

[hans007]

i'll say TA kingdoms or falcon 4.

 

[Doctorweir]

Definitely the one and only

Ultima IX Ascension

No other game gives my processer more average heat in motherboard monitor...

Against U9 Q3 or UT seem like lousy stinky rip-offs regarding performance demands
