    This is gonna sound crazy but Star Wars Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. It was the first game I played on a computer we got when I was in the 4th grade and since then I’ve made it a tradition to make that the first game I play on any new computer.

    To my knowledge it wasn’t even a technical power house when it came out but it is always interesting to see it run at resolutions way higher than it was intended for

      I literally just started playing thru this again a few weeks ago.

      Don’t think it’ll suffice for a stress test these days, but it’s such a great game.

      I still need to finish MoTS one of these days…

      Pioneer, Ficsit will be upping all personal quotas related to Project Assembly. Currently 100% of your projects are related to Project Assembly. Projection of average quota increases will be directly related to the upgrades made on your new personal computer.

    Flight Simulator 2020, went from a i7 4790k / 1080Ti to a 5800X3D / 3090, insane performance. Don’t get me wrong my former build was insane, almost 7 years of use, and still kicking.

    Honestly, it’s 3dMark or the benchmarks from either Cyberpunk 2077, Metro: Exodus, or FFXV. Perfect stress tests.

      This. Q3A has been a benchmark standard ever since it came out, plus it’s still an incredibly fun game.

      Is this some kind of joke I’m too young to understand…? Quake came out in 1999 yeah, that’s like saying UT99 is a good benchmark, but I havent played on a pc that cant run UT99

      I have an Odyssey CRG9. It seems so absurd at first, but after a while it makes using any 16:9 monitor feel cramped as hell. Just be aware ultrawide support is lacking at times, but nothing you can’t tweak around. Took me about a month of use to get everything to where I don’t have to think about it much anymore.
