Looking for something to test the limits!

3d rendering is the way to test a system like that. Compiling something like a linux distribution from raw source can also be a good test if you're able to find one with a parallelised build process.

Uhm can it run the original wolfenstein 1 i heard you need a beast of a pc for that.
Assassins creed brotherhood requires high specs i believe

wolfenstein is about as old as doom. A 486 could run it.

LoonylionWorld of Warcraft and go to dalaran.

even I can do that with everything on high.
try crysis warhead on max or starcarft 2 on max. or just wait a little while until crysis 2 comes out

No you can't. Not on a blizzard server anyway.

if you can play crisis at max everything, you can play anthing else in the world for the next few years

What if you run five games at once?

Replying to #27

while your at it, why don't you play 10 games at the same time? Which is almost impossible.

Rip a movie using magic dvd ripper. Tell us how long it takes.I'd also recommend trying Boinc.Edit - Stress test with prime95?

no. play doom. suffer the extreme lag

DirectX 11 game (GRID 2, Try Metro 2033, H.A.W.X. 2, etc. )+
PhysX + Highest PhysX settings + (Setting PhysX setting to processor may slow down the game but it's like cheating...)
3D Vision + 3D Surround +
Highest settings in game +
V-sync (Refresh Rate > 60 Hz say 120 Hz) +
Anti Aliasing x32Q +
Resolution at least 1920 x 1080 1080p
(Games NOT Having CUDA and SLI support might help)It will require 3D Vision Monitor + KitReply if it worked !!You can also PM me.

Metro 2033 definitely has higher requirements than Crysis. But mostly because it was coded so poorly.

Prime95 won't prove anything except stability. SuperPi mod, on the other hand...

Earthseige 2, only because the scalers that the graphics card uses are rarely supported my modern stuff! ;)

ram and disk speed/seek time are very important for servers.
