A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

i have a pretty good GPU now.

besides crysis, what old games can i go back and play on ultra-super-max settings and would still give my GPU a good workout?

or what games looked really good on ultra at the time but struggled to deliver fps, and would now be a joke for a modern high end GPU?

Age of Empires, Definitive Edition is honestly amazing to look at. Cities Skylines with mods and all DLC. Fallout NV with mods can get insanely good looking. Just cause 2 and Just Cause 3 are both beautiful at ultra settings. Star Wars The Old Republic gets fairly pretty for an MMO. Obligatory EvE Online, just don't try to play the game. Took me 16 years to win EvE.
