Graphically impressive games

Just got my new ATI 512MB x1950 graphics card working (finally!), and it runs the Bioshock demo on high like a dream. That means it can probably run anything and everything, so give me some very beautiful games i can buy for my swanky new piece of hardware.

And i mean everything guys. As long as it looks amazing on high settings, i don't care what it is.

Graphics all you seek in a game? :P

Some suggestions:
* Crysis when it is released
* Far Cry + "Cold Renderer"
* World in Conflict demo... I bet you didn't think of this one :P

Well, what can I say... I don't play that many games.

Bioshock isn't that demanding - that is to say, it's well optimized.

See how you do at Supreme Commander (which only looks so-so) but is still a real hog.

Or World in Conflict at max settings, give that a try.

Or M2TW with no cap on the number of units in a battle. That plus max settings...

If the 1950 is anywhere close to a my 7950Gt in gaming performance, don't expect to get ultra high settings everywhere, but expect some very nice graphics nonetheless. World in Conflict Demo would be on my list as well as Medieval 2. Anno 1701 also has some nice graphics, as does Stalker.

Supreme Commander really looks just so-so and you need a beast of a CPU for it not to lag in big battles(I read about quad cores with 4GB RAM running it lag-free or something like that).

That's what I can say about the games I have, the BioShock Demo also has some nice graphics but you might weant to read the BioShock thread first concerning it's apparently invasive copy protection.

I'm surprised nobody has yet to mention Oblivion

Oblivion + Qarl looks fantastic - pity it overflows my 2gb on Vista

You could also give FEAR a go, I've heard it's quite a demanding game.

Yeah, doesn't look too bad. It's pretty much all indoors corridor shooting, though...

The latest Source engine (ep2) doesn't look too bad, either, with dynamic HDR and the best rendered characters I've seen in a game...
