I’m upgrading from an older GTX 1080 rig that is honestly still usable, but there have been a few newer titles here and there that I’ve been putting off playing.

What are some beautiful and demanding hardware wise games you guys would recommend? Bonus points for underrated games or hidden gems.

    Ahhh I remember the feeling of upgrading to a new GPU after ditching my 1050 earlier this year. Here’s some games that can stress test your new rig:

    • God of War
    • Red Dead Redemption 2
    • Cyberpunk 2077
    • Returnal
    • Spider-Man Remastered
    • Control
    • Forza Horizon 5 or Dirt 5

    Also while Elden Ring isn’t as demanding as technically impressive as other games it can look quite beautiful.

      Nice, RDR2, Control and Spooderman are specifically the titles I’ve been putting off until I built a new PC, thank you. Even though I beat RDR2 on PS4 a couple years back, I’m very down to revisit in 144hz.

      I might give CP2077 another go too, beat that on release and it ran surprisingly well on a 1080 aside from all the goddamn bugs, but I’m curious to revisit it again with all the bells, whistles and patches. Forza 5 and God of War also ran spectacularly well on the older hardware as well, but I’m probably due for a replay of those too.

      I’ll have to check out Returnal, I’ve heard mixed reviews but haven’t actually looked into it. Thank you.
